Xiao couldn't remember the last time he'd really been able to relax. He was usually out defending Liyue from whatever threats came near. Yet, somehow, he found himself in Mondstadt, holding the Archon disguised as a simple bard.

Despite his words, Xiao made no attempt to move. Venti looked comfortable, and the Yaksha wasn't heartless.
