I'm not ok help

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

"My question is how did he fall asleep in possibly the most raging storm in whole of Tevyat and not wake up once till now?" Heizou looks at Kazuha from the 2nd floor of the bed-rooms. "I have.. no idea."
They both turn back to check on the matters outside, the storm seemed a bit calmer, yet they were half way through. They also had a whole sea to cross afterwards. "We should wake him up after the storm. He has been sleeping for hours." The detective protests, going to his own bed. "He will wake up on his own.. i hope." The raven sits down on his own bed too, switching to the wall-side and closing his eyes, in an attempt to calm his nerves.

Hours past as the raging lightnings came to an end, the sun shined brightly and the beautiful pink-yellow sky of sunrise shone as bright as they could ever be. Perhaps when you aren't in a castle all the time, you could actually see the beauty of nature.

"Kaz.. Kaz. Wake up dumbass." He gently nudges the albino on the bed, earning a soft groan. "I'm up.. [yawn] I'm up." He sits up rubbing his eyes, then looks to his side to greet the raven. "Good morning. You slept for 11 and a half hours. You good?" Kazuha, not even surprised, nods. "Did the storm end?" Scaramouche gives a nod, and helps him get up from the bed. "Change into better clothes. In 7 hours we will be at Liyue."

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

"Greetings, you seem.. distressed?" Kazuha lands a hand on Scaramouche's shoulder, watching him closely. An idea crept in his mind, but he waited for the answer. "I- ahem. ... fine." He covers his mouth and closes his eyes. The idea was probably correct, so he suggested it. "Are you seriously seasick?"

S- "I'm not."

K- "You literally are. Admit it."

S- "I don't have to admit anything to someone who can sleep more than a cat in one of the most dangerous places in the world."

K- "You just did. Ugh you big baby, let me get some bread or something. Get inside and stop looking at the sea dumbfuck. It'll make it worse."

S- "My eyes are closed don't you see?"

K- "You are standing in one of the places that goes up and down the most stupid. Come here." [He grabs the other's arm, and drags him inside and sits him down.]

S- "That was unneeded."

K- "It was needed, you looked like you were about to throw up. Here, some water and a small sandwich. It should help." [He gently puts his hand on his shaking leg/thigh.] "I'm not mad, nor disgusted. Scara, being seasick is normal."

S- "Can't beleive you fell for this."

K- "Huh?"

S- "Okay yes I do get seasick. But, i purposely stood there just so I could get some attention from you. It was pretty boring with you sleeping for hours. The bed only could fit one person too. So~" [He giggled.]

K- ".... fuck off."

S- "Don't leave me darling! Oh I feel so nauseous! I need comfort~!"

K- "Do you actually?"

S- "Jokes aside yes I feel sicker than ever so come here Mr. Medicine Expert."

K- "You better not be dramatic."

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

"How are you able to put up with this.. toddler." He points to the raven asleep on Kazuha's shoulder. "You just have to understand him. [He lands a small peck on his forehead] and I'm sure I'm good at it." Beidou was heard from upstairs, signaling they are at the docks. "Ah. Heizou mind helping the crew with our horses? I'll pack up our stuff in our rooms." He nods and goes upstairs. Kazuha wakes up Scaramouche and they both also go up after packing.

"Everything's.. so.." The albino smiles. "Different or beautiful? I agree. We are at the Harbor right now. There should be an Inn, we can also ask where we can permanently stay. Until.. the threat comes." They go to the Inn with Kazuha's guidance, and settle down in their rooms after handling everything. The Inn had a backyard, a very big one, a healthy place for mamy horses to live.

"How about we go on a small tour? We'll, by me of course, I can show everywhere around the Harbor!" Kazuha suggested. Just to see both of them already in their beds. "Ah. This is what happens when you take your sleep in the morning.." He looks at them both. And sets off to tell the king himself.

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

"Name?" A small pause. "Kaedehara Kazuha. 2 accompanied guests. Raiden Scaramouche and Shikanoin Heizou. Came by The Crux. We have.. let the Qixing know." The guard seemingly was checking something. Once he did, he let him in the castle. One of the butlers showed him the way to the Throne Room. The big gate-like door opens with a loud creak.

"Greetings, Your Highness." The bruenette male was tall, well-built, the crown had golden horns as well as the ends of his hair. A long and thin ponytail tied with an expensive hair tie. His clothes were gold and dark-brown, his gloves being pure black. Under the light in the room, the figure looked menacing with the amber eyes. "Prince of the Kaedehara Kingdom. We finally meet. I am truly sorry for what's happening in Inazuma." He speaks, in a deep voice.

He slowly goes down the stairs. Stopping in front of the albino. Kazuha bows, and stands up-right. "I am not bothering at this time of day, am I?" The man shakes his head. "I shall help as much as I can while keeping it fair to my citizens, as King of Contracts, and Liyue, I have to suggest a contract to you."
Kazuha nods, agreeing. A sheet of paper rolls out in front of him, floating. Seemingly used by the power of the King in front.

"This contract symbolizes that you will help as much as you can while living under my protection. You will accept your new Royalty will be me, Morax. Or preferably Rex Lapis. Please sign in your name if you do accept, dear guest." A feather-pen with a small bowl of ink floats next to him. He picks it up, and signs the paper. Watching "Rex Lapis" sign it afterwards. "May I ask what your part of the contract signs?" Kazuha asks. "I signed to fully accept you as a citizen of Liyue, Kazuha, you have been here many times. I watched, and you are quite loved by the Harbor with your good deeds. And I also accepted to protect you no less no more than any other. To you, I am Rex Lapis now. And whoever breaks the contract, shall be bound by the strength of earth."

The albino nods again, asking about where the group could stay, etc. After getting all of the answers. He wishes goodbye and respect per Liyue's tradition with their king, and goes back to the harbor. By the time he was there, it was already night. So when he changed, he instantly lays down next to the raven, cradling him from behind.

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

"May The King of Contracts be by our side. From now on."

Like pleased, the wind softly blows against the window creating a soft humming.
