"Where could they be?!" As maids and guests rushed around the palace trying to find the 2 missing men, Zhongli, Nahida, And Shogun were standing around the corner of the main hall, just chatting as if there was nothing wrong.

" I was able to bring the girl to her house, then their parents started showering me with their praises," Nahida happily explained. Shogun laughed, "Maybe they just-" she was then cut off by loud noises coming from Scaramouche's room.

"Well well look who's back, come, let's go check if it's them," Shogun said. They knocked on the door, hoping Venti or Scaramouche would answer. The door did a sight creek, and a head popped out.

"What do you all want?" Scaramouche asked, trying to hide Venti from the others.

"Really? After missing for 3 hours this is what we get." Shogun then flung the door open, revealing a drunken bard lying on the floor, sound asleep.

"He looks wasted.." Shogun uttered.

"Well, that's just how this bard lives his life.." Zhongli went inside, slapping his face to wake him up. After a couple of slapping later, Venti finally woke up.

"Another-" Venti mumbled, then realized he was back at the palace. Venti's face was all red, and was too weak to get up. So Zhongli helped him to stand on his feet, placing him over near Scaramouche's chair.

"You guys can't just enter my room, it's against proper manners," Scaramouche stated, leaning over on the door frame. Nahida giggled, placing her hand on Scaramouche's sleeve.

"So, how often do you run outdoors?" Nahida asked, looking up at Scaramouche's irritated face.

"Uh.. I lost count, but I started when I turned 24." he replied, easing his face. Scaramouche and Nahida were having a conversation while the other 3 were asking Venti questions. Soon footsteps coming where coming closer to them, Scaramouche stood straight then looked at the direction to where the sounds were coming from. Standing tall, her head held up high and walking with an enclosed shape, Ei, his mother.

"Oh, M-" Scaramouche couldn't finish his sentence after feeling a pain on his cheek. Ei slapped him, with a cold face. Venti got out of the chair to see what the problem was about, Shogun propping him from the right, with the old man on his left.

"Kunikuzushi, I didn't raise you like this. You know it's against the rules to go out of the walls." Ei scolded, giving a sharp glare to him. Scaramouche had his hand hovering over his now redend cheek, looking downwards, with his eyes full of hatred.

After a good 20 seconds of silence, Ei embraced. "Please, promise that you won't do it again. We were all worried for you." Scaramouche didn't return the gesture tho, standing like a stone as Ei tried to comfort him.

"Well.. this sure turned bittersweet.." Zhongli confusingly muttered.

"It almost wants me to cringe," Shogun added trying to hold her laughter.

Everyone left, besides Nahida, who was on his bed, listening to Scaramouche's complaints.

"Everything that I do always makes her mad for no reason," Scaramouche groaned. "Now she deployed guards outside of my window. So now I can't even take a quick breath of fresh air without looking at a guard."
