Scaramouche stayed still, slowly opening his eyes to see Beidou sitting in front of him. "Hey, sorry to wake you from your deep slumber, 'Sleeping Beauty', but the ship is sinking." Beidou rushed, pulling him up. "Get on my back! Don't think that you will be swimming away with a leg like that" Scaramouche winced. He had forgotten about his leg.

He sighed, leaning against Beidous back, letting her lift him up. She ran to the side of the boat, and with no hesitation, she jumped off. Scaramouche had not expected this.

He braced for impact, holding onto Beidou and his hat for dear life. He was graced with water splashed in his eyes and nose, making it difficult for him to focus. "Hold on tight buddy, I'm going to start actually swimming now," Beidou warned.

She shifted her weight and started swimming. She swam for quite a while until she finally came across the smallest bit of land. She climbed atop the land and lay there for a second. "Sorry buddy, I just got a bit tired, I'll start again in a minute." She groaned.

Scaramouche looked at her and realized how tired she looked. I mean, she just swam at least a kilometre. It seemed inhuman. "All right, all right. Take your break, just be sure to not take that long. I need to find Kazuha." Scaramouche sighed, reminding himself of his goal.

They sat there for quite a while, in complete silence. "Where is the rest of your crew?" Scaramouche asked. "Oh right, I already brought them to land." Beidou replied. Scaramouche stared at her in shock. There is no way she saved all of them. Some must have died. The insane willpower and pure strength of this woman are insane. "Wow.. impressive. You seem inhuman to me" Scaramouche commented, impressed. "Gee, thanks. I think I might be good now buddy, get back on my back." Scaramouche dragged himself over to Beidou's back, and again, he leaned on.

Beidou picked him up with no effort put into it at all and waded back into the water. Scaramouche must have either passed out or fallen asleep, because all of a sudden, he was at Inazuma shores, lying on the beach. Beidou was above him, staring at him. She seemed in a trance, as she did not notice when Scaramouche woke up. "Excuse me? What are you staring at?" Scaramouche questioned, quite annoyed at the random attention.

Beidou blinked, clearly confused, then she answered. "Sorry buddy, just you passed out while I was swimming, and I honestly thought you were dead." She laughed at her assumption. "Anywho, the guy you were looking for passed by while you were knocked out. He-" Scaramouche interrupted. "WHAT?! YOU DIDN'T WAKE ME UP?!" He screamed at her, "I CAME ALL THIS WAY TO FIND THE BITCH AND-" His mouth was covered by someone behind him.

He started clawing at the hand, trying to speak. "We haven't even known each other for a day and I'm already a bitch?" The person retorted, taking their hand off of Scaramouches face. He looked behind him to find Kazuha staring at him. "I- You- huh?" Scaramouche was humiliated now. He had expected to have to search more. But now, he had found Kazuha, so he was in Inazuma for no other reason. He sighed, getting up. He had forgotten about his leg again. He stumbled over, to be caught by Kazuha. "You really need to be careful. Stop being so forgetful, remember why I came here? To help you." Kazuha picked him up, bridal style, and started to leave. "Thanks, Beidou for bringing him here! Hopefully, the trip wasn't that bad!" He called back to her. Beidou looked up, "It was annoying, that's why I'm grateful for you, but other than that, no problem!" She answered. Kazuha then continued walking towards the city. "Why the fuck are we going to the city? I found you, so let's go back to Liyue." Scaramouche growled. He would rather do anything but go here. He hated it here.

He heard Kazuha sigh above him. "Well I'm sorry, but if you haven't noticed already, Beidou's ship is the only way back. She has to get it fixed in order for us to go to Liyue again. Also, don't worry, I hate it here too. Scaramouche looked at him with confusion. How did he know he hated it here? He must have let my emotions get the better of him. "I know someone that could maybe help you, it just would take a bit of convincing for her to help. She has an army, so she is quite busy." Scaramouche scrunched his eyebrows in confusion.

Who would that be? He doesn't know of any army here, other than the vision hunt decree, but they have no healer on their side. They continued walking until they get to a dock next to a large body of water.
