After Nahida’s request, you finally calmed down and decided to accept Scaramouche as another travel companion. To put it mildly, he was not the easiest person to get along with. So it was impossible to do without all sorts of petty squabbles and disputes. Although there were also ordinary conversations in which you took part from time to time.

But after a while, you noticed that Scaramouche began to behave a little differently, almost inconsistent with himself. He either tried to lightly touch your hand, or straightened your clothes or hair. Even in these cases, he managed to come up with some logical explanations for his actions.

It got to the point that he started sleeping with you, explaining that for some reason he was having unpleasant dreams.

Now you had one of your overnight stops. We had long since laid out our tents and gone to bed. Paimon had been snoring for a long time on her place.

But you couldn’t quite sleep. Or rather, you couldn’t sleep at all. Because Scaramouche was lying behind you on your futon and hugging you tightly, practically squeezing you. You couldn’t even change your position to make it more comfortable to lie down! Another attempt.

"Tsk.. Damn it, stop moving." Feeling your movement, he grumbled displeasedly, continuing to bury his face in your back.

"You're disturbing my sleep."
