The last few days had gone by in a flash as you revisited Liyue during a break from your usual style of life. Wangshu Inn was a welcoming and cozy place despite the deathly glare from the Yaksha greeting you on the balcony from time to time.
Adeptus Xiao never intended to even bump into you here, feeling that he might waste your time if you stopped to talk with him instead of enjoying the sights around Liyue and tasting every native dish there was to order. Even if he himself didn't understand the need for a break every once in a while, he did know that he wanted to avoid unnecessary banter or idle talk with you, since most humans take breaks to relax. However, he didn't realize that some people relax by talking to others... What a strange concept.
In the late evening, Adeptus Xiao returned from Guili Plains with a streak of smeared monster blood on his cheek, hoping to clean up before heading out again for another patrol. Somehow unsurprisingly though, he crossed paths with you again on the highest balcony of Wangshu Inn. He shifted his gaze to your eyes before asking, "What are you doing out here this late?"
