The cold water gently rippled with each step you took, slowly walking deeper and deeper into the little pond until you were stomach deep.

It was cold, but slowly warmed up as you relaxed in it.

You were in a small secluded cave in liyue, you had been here multiple times before and knew it was safe. Even checked the water for any parasites or bugs, and it was all fresh and clean. Vines hung from the ceiling and lush life grew all around. Your clothes folded neatly on the pebbles on the shore.

You rested against a rock, looking like a gorgeous, sunbathing lizard while lying on your back.

You decided to cover yourself up with some leaves and call for Xiao, the moment his name left your mouth he appeared on shore. You wanted to show him this relaxing space, waving at him calmly.

He had been prepared for danger, but realised there was no threat and calmed down, but still held a tight grip on his pole arm.

"...?" He tilted his head, confused as to why you called him.
