"You can stay with me"
"What the fuck?!" He replied angrily

"I said you can stay with me, you need somewhere to stay right?" Kazuha said, having a small questioning tone in his voice. Thinking perhaps he heard wrong.

"Why the fuck would I want to stay with you?! You're almost as irritating as Tartaglia."

"mm...Okay. if you do not wish to stay with me, I won't pressure you. But the option is still open" The white-haired male replied with a small smile, picking up the last crystal shrimp, tearing it in half placing half of it down back into the basket in case Scaramouche would want it. Biting from the half he kept.

It was complete silence once again, Scaramouche ate the other half of the crystal shrimp Kazuha had left for him but that's it. After he ate that he didn't touch any more food.

"Fine" He muttered angrily

Kazuha looked at Scaramouche raising an eyebrow slightly, not speaking since he had food in his mouth.
"I'll stay with you. Only because then I don't need to waste Mora to spend the night somewhere" He rolled his eyes looking away from Kazuha

"Great, okay," Kazuha replied after he swallowed the food that he had in his mouth. "Not many people will be on the crux since we will be at Liyue for a few days, I assume they'll be visiting friends and family as usual. So we won't be disturbed." He looked at Scaramouche, adding on to what he said. "Although that doesn't mean we can go into another room on the ship"

"Whatever," Scaramouche grumbled, still not looking at Kazuha having his arms crossed, although he was glad that nobody else would be on the ship, then he would only have to put up with the white-haired male.

"Are you finished eating?" Kazuha asked since he just noticed Scaramouche hadn't eaten any of the food in a bit. He just received yet another tsk, but also a slight nod.

"Shall we head off? I don't want to keep a table taken if we are finished with it." Kazuha said as he stood up, stacking the empty dishes or just making them less messy so they'd be easier for another to pick them up. Of course, him doing that made him get a strange look from Scaramouche, but he was used to his glares and looks already by now.

He began to walk, he knew Scaramouche would follow since he stood up as soon as the white-haired male pushed in his chair. But he wanted to double-check...cause from what he could tell, Scaramouche was stubborn. Glancing over his shoulder, his red eyes locked with the others' indigo eyes for a split second. He felt a slight heat rise onto his cheeks as he looked forward so he could see where he was walking. "Good to know you're coming along."
"I already said I was going too dumbass." the slightly shorter male muttered angrily, finding what Kazuha said straight up, stupid. Although when he noticed the white-haired male turn away slightly tense after their eyes had locked contact for a second. He began to think...Did he just figure out who he was? How he was familiar? See the similarities between him and 'Kunikuzushi' Once the indigo-haired male realized he was somehow lost in thought, he had already bumped into Kauzha. Looking at the white-haired male who was turned around to face him, catching him by having his arms wrapped around the slightly shorter male's waist.

"Are you alright?" He asked the male in his arms "I didn't realize you were so close, my a-" Kazuha's words were cut off by getting pushed bu his face. Scaramouche shoved Kazuha away speaking in a sharp tone "DON'T touch me," he snapped, standing up normally as he fixed his hat slightly once again, he started to walk ahead of Kazuha...placing his hand up onto his cheek feeling it was hot. "What the fuck..." He muttered to himself, just now realizing from the way Kazuha had caught him, it made him blush. "That damn idiot," he said under his breath, barely loud enough for Kazuha to hear. He lifted his head looking around realizing they were at the docs. He sighed, realizing he didn't know which ship he was supposed to go on...perhaps that's why Kazuha was in front.

Scaramouche rolled his eyes and glanced around once again, spotting Kazuha standing at the edge of the doc crouching down at the edge, looking down at the water. He raised an eyebrow slightly as he made his way over to him, The white-haired male heard the other heading towards him, so he stood up turned around, and started to walk to meet up with him "You done being mad at me so I can take us back to the crux?" He asked, looking at Scaramouche with a slight smile. Noticing the fact the other male's cheeks were stained with a faint blush but he decided to ignore it. Considering the fact he couldn't be certain it was blush, could be red from anger, overheating, etc.

Kazuha didn't receive a spoken answer from the other, which he was used to by now. Just a slight nod, and with that...Kazuha leads them both to get back onto the crux.

....

After they got aboard the crux, They immediately went to the room they were in before...well Scaramouche immediately went there. Kazuha just followed behind the shorter male. The indigo-haired male took off his large hat. Folding the translucent black veils inwards as well as the ornaments that hand down on the red threads. He placed his hat down on the desk that was in the room, not caring as to what he knocked over or covered. Walking to the bed, took off his purple punch and laid it down next to the bed, and laid down on his back looking at the ceiling.

The white-haired male just watched Scaramouche, not minding that was making himself comfortable. A small sigh left him as he took off his black haori being careful as he pulled it out from underneath the obi, carefully hanging it onto the wall from a nail. He sat down on the floor since he didn't feel like disturbing Scaramouche who was on the bed, Taking off his Scarf and the slanted belt. Holding it in front of him looking at his vision, carefully holding it in his hand as he thought to himself. His thought was interrupted by the voice of the other.

"You from Inazuma?" He asked even tho he already knew the answer. Although if he asked, it could stop Kazuha from thinking he knew him somehow.

Lifting his head to look at the other who was relaxing on the bed as he replied "Yes I am. Are you perhaps from Inazuma as well? I apologize if I'm wrong, you just dress how I'd expect someone from Inazuma to." he asked, not expecting an answer...which he didn't receive as he thought. Scaramouche had just asked another question rather than asking his

"Then why are you in Liyue with this boat filled with idiots?"

Kazuha fell silent as he looked down at the vision in his hand, thinking for a second before he spoke. Rather than having his usual tone of voice...he sounded rather mournful. Although the emotions in his physical appearance stayed the same. Scaramouche noticed when he turned his head to look at his old friend

"Captain beidou took me in when I fled from Inazuma."
"Why did you leave?"
"I was a wanted criminal." He stated, running his thumb over the Anemo symbol of his vision

"YOU? A criminal?! Ha! Nice joke." Scaramouche let out a sarcastic laugh, not believing that Kazuha was wanted until he realized Kazuha's facial expression didn't change nor did he even look at him "What did you do?" He asked, being genuinely curious as to what he did. Especially considering the fact when he left Inazuma, he never knew Kazuha would've ended up being a 'criminal'

Kazuha closed his eyes as he listened to Scaramouche's sarcastic laugh. Staying silent until he heard the second question. "I was wanted by The Tenryou Commission, because I ran from Inazuma with my friend's vision. After he was executed by the Raiden Shogun." He said as he opened his eyes, lifting his head to look at the other.
