A warm fireplace was lit in the library, with a group of young adults sitting around it. Hu Tao and Kazuha already drifted to sleep, in order to cope with the fact they're still half drunk. As for the other males, they were having a small conversation, with Kazuha lying down next to Scaramouche, and Hu Tao sleeping on a stack of paper books.

"So Kuni, have you ever thought about who you would marry? After all, Ei doesn't allow you to have a partner unless if she approves of it," Venti asked, placing more wood into the fire.

As the prince thought about it, he looked at Kazuha's sleeping face, "I haven't given it much thought.." then brushed his hands into the townsfolk's hair.

Venti formed a line on is lips, not wanting to say what he had in mind. His eyes dimmed slightly, looking as how the prince peacefully went through the young boy's hair. "Well, hopefully you find your answer soon, or you might be too late."

Scaramouche didn't understand what Venti meant, after all, love wasn't something he was looking for, nor would he ever think of looking for love himself; But his suspicions rose, unsure if Venti knew something that he didn't.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it in mind. Anyways, you should bring Hu Tao to her guest bedroom, I'll take Kazuha to his later," Scaramouche asked, trying to change the topic so it didn't get to worrisome.

"Alright, but make sure you do the same aswell," Venti replied, taking Hu Tao under his arms, then exiting out of the warm library.

"Sigh, now it's just us two now, drunker."

Scaramouche decided to stay in the library for awhile, not wanting to use his energy to carry someone yet. Soon, after zoning out, he got exhausted and decided to take a small nap.

When Kazuha woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and the sun's light shining through his eyelids, a part of him wanted to know what was pulling him by the hand. While managing to get is body to wake up, he was looking around and realized he must've slept on the floor the whole night. Kazuha yawn slightly, looking beside him, which laid a curtain person with dark indigo hair, and red eyeliner which framed his eyelids. Scaramouche must've also fallen asleep while looking after him he thought.

They were oddly too close which made Kazuha slightly embarrassed, wondering if anything happened yesterday due to him feeling slightly hungover. Scaramouche's hand was holding onto Kazuha's as if it was some sort of object important to him, not wanting to let go. The Platinum-haired chuckled, moving his arm slightly, as the other followed. Then he started to mesmerize the royal's closed eyes, likely unaware of the situation he was going put himself in. He used his free arm to brush the sleeping male's bangs to the side, gently running his hair with his fingers.

After Kazuha realized what he was doing he immediately pulled away, he wasn't sure why he was feeling warm inside, but knew it wasn't a peasant feeling. Soon he decided to wake him up, gently moving his body, "Your highness, it's the morning, don't you think you should get up now?"

After some failed attempts, Scaramouche finally muttered, "Yes yes.. I got it," As Kazuha chuckled somewhat on his reaction, his friend got up, blinking for a bit as he tried to get used to the bright light that was casting onto his eyes. Soon he looked to his side to see who he was grabbing into and instantly pulled back, "I didn't notice I was holding onto you, I.. I hope you didn't think too much of it."
