Xiao liked water. The feeling it provided, the way his ears were not hearing anything except the song of the flowing water. If he could, he would live in water. Sometimes, he would dream of being a fish, or any other maritime species. Sometimes, he would imagine what the depths of the sea was like. He would let himself get immerged into the deafness provided by water. It was as if, nothing would attain him, he was out of reach.

As a national champion swimmer, he was probably swimming in a pool to train, and should be... But he was not. Xiao was in fact laying in a random fountain, in the street. His eyes were closed, but he knew someone was observing him right now. He should get defensive, normally. Nevertheless, despite the slight feeling of awkwardness, he was simply unfazed.

"What ?" He said, not moving nor looking at the unknown person. As if there was nothing weird.
