♡Our, Dendrobium.♡ [ScaraKazu]

Ch. 19 -A Complicated Plan-

=============================
Both Kazuha and Scaramouche was ready by the time the clock hits 7. They were down at Heizou's office discussing about the shard. Whether they should go there instead Liyue.

"There is a high risk we will die there. Didint you just say there is no correct map of the island? And it's all fog too." The raven protests, "In fact, you even said that the danger level there is higher than the amount people can measure at."

The detective smiles at his remarks. "Both true! But listen, we have literally the son of a Kingdom that was basically the Kingdom of Medicine, it was like the hospital of Tevyat! Don't you get it? If a Kingdom has this much knowledge about medicine, science, biology, even outside of Sumeru? Its basically like in the family blood! Even if he did run away, he is still good at it. Am I right Kazu?" The albino nods awkwardly, agreeing with both.

"Kazuha, you out of all of us SHOULD know that the Tsurumi shit plan isint going to work, maybe the mail system thing is all a fairytale and we all get captured! Especially you." The last part comes out as faint as a whisper. Everyone goes silent. "What if I'm the one who gets injured though? Or both of you at once? Or all of us at once? No one ever managed to get out of Tsurumi Island without atleast 10 deep wounds, a couple broken bones. 80% of the bodies weren't even found." The albino finally speaks up.

The other two knew that it was true, a good point to consider. "What if we talk to someone that did make it out alive?" Heizou asks. "I don't think that's a good idea. It's basically Trauma category V for them. Most of the people got therapy to even forget about it. In any case, finding someone that didint die yet will be the hardest part. Most of the sails were made tens of years ago, if we do find someone it will probably be someone over 60, which is a straight dead end." The young prince adds in.

"What if.. there is some kind of.. human life there though?" Scaramouche lets his thoughts out loud. "Some kind of village.. that got used to the side effects. Or, a special code we could shout out. You said the forest is alive, and protects the body, and the shard at the same time?" He later adds in, which actually did make sense. "... That's such a good theory, I need to write that down. Though what if it's not like that. " The detective sighs in dissapointment.

Kazuha stares as they protest each one of their own ideas. They didint even notice him go away and scramble through drawers. "Should be it.." -K He looks down at the paper, taking each detail. It was a hand drawn picture from one of the survivors, he wanted to see if there was some kind of human trace in there. Good thing Heizou had contact with the survivor's family and got hands on this picture.. There it was. On the very corner there was what looked like to be a kid, but they were drawn with a horrible face, like a monster, probably because from how much the trauma affected the brain. Now the question is, -is it really a kid- or was it another "monster".

=============================

Kazuha walks behind Scaramouche while he was sipping on some dark coffee, whispering in his ear. "I think I might of have found out something.." He hums, wrapping arms around the other's neck from behind. "Hm.. [He takes one last sip] What is it? May I see?" He whispers back, taking the drawing that the young prince was holding out for him to take. "There, [he points to the corner] it looks like a child to me. The monster face could of had been the trauma affected on the brain." Scaramouche looks at the kid-figure for a good 3 minutes.

"I think.. you are right. Where did you find this?" He asks, deciding to look at the whole drawing instead just the corner. "In a drawer, while you guys were in your little detective spirits. You would be a good detective you know?" He giggles afterwards, laying his head down on top of the other.

Heizou walks in, and Scaramouche tells and shows everything the same way Kazuha did to him. "My my, isint my little Kazu such a good detective?" Kazuha simply smiles kindly while the raven pulls him down to a chair next to him. "Calm down Mr. Overprotective Knight Prince whatever, I have no intention of stealing your man. I have something called personality, don't know if you have that.." He walks dramatically off with the paper afterwards, telling them he will investigate further.

"That.." Kazuha places a hand on his shoulder. "My dove, no getting mad. He is right about the personality thing th.."

=============================

"Fuck off" Kazuha manages to mutter out while laughing. "No agreeing with that berry head. Or ill do this again." Do what again? Oh, Scaramouche ripped a feather off one of the pens and tickled Kazuha's face. In any case he would hit someone, but it was him. Why would he go for violence with his darling? While they can laugh together.

"Alright lazy-asses you can go, if you want to stay go to the living room. I'll be moving a couple stuff to the office so.. also Kazu, thanks. You found a pretty important piece." He walks back to the room he was in, while the two agreed to go out. "I feel like we should go to Liyue first, then if it doesn't work out we can instantly go to Tsurumi Island." The raven simply nods, taking him by the hand.

=============================

"Let's go get something to properly eat. Who knows how many hours we were down there. We could go to a stall outside or just order some late-lunch here. Which one would you like?" Kazuha agrees, only if Scaramouche also eats with him. Giving in, they both go outside the castle to one of the town streets. "I never knew you liked sweets?" The raven commented, taking a bite out of his egg roll.

"There is a tingling after-taste when you eat too much at once, I like it. Here, try. Don't tell me you don't like Strawberry Mochi?" He reluctantly takes a bite out of it, in a minute taking the whole mochi plate to himself. "That was unexpected." Kazuha laughs lowly. "Shut up, you were right it's good alright.."

=============================

"Finally~ my sweet sweet home." The albino plops down onto the bed, they ended up at the stalls for a little while longer. Both of them were curious what city-streets sold. Not too different from Kingdom and village streets, but the food was better. "A bed? A home is a roof over your head where you feel safe Kaz." He scoffs, sitting down next to him. "I don't need a roof over my head, all I need is a place I can rest, and someone I can feel safe with." He says, as he holds the other's hand. "And I'll make sure I'll protect my home."
