Everyone has a soulmate, the one who was truly made for them. Yours happened to be Xiao. Soulmates know they found eachother once they've made eye contact, and on that fateful day when you met Xiao, you felt it. You felt the feeling. Though Xiao denies your advances.

"Find another soulmate capable of loving you. I am too dangerous to be around. My karmatic debt is far too heavy for you to withstand. And I am not worthy of love, nor will I ever be." The sunset was the same color as the leaves that fell onto the balcony of Wangshu Inn, Xiao stared at the sun as it slowly plunged down. He didn't bother to make eye contact with you, not because he hated you, but because he couldn't bare to. "...But.. If you ever wake up to find a knife at your throat, when death comes knocking at your door, call out my name, Adeptus xiao, I will be there when you call. I still have a duty to protect you."

Xiao then disappears. He always disappeared right when he said something important. You've gotten used to this habit of his. But maybe.. Just maybe what he just told you was his way of saying he still cared.. Though you pushed that thought into the back of your mind as you stood on the balcony before turning off and walking down to the reception area. Verr Goldet, the Inn keeper, whom you call boss lady, stood behind the counter sorting through the guest info. Her husband was out fixing the stairs to the Inn entrance

"Anything happen this time?" Verr goldet smiled at you and leaned on the counter, her hand on her chin. "Don't be too down if he said the same old same old. He doesn't bother to talk to most people, and their lucky if they have the chance to talk to him once. But every time you come he appears before you." Verr Goldet knew he had a soft spot for you, he just wouldn't show it.
