Atop the balcony of Wangshu Inn sat Adeptus Xiao, gazing upon the vast plains of Liyue, from the yellowing foliage to the thundering clouds in the distance; he watched.

It was a day like any other, one of waiting and silence and watching. Nothing interesting happened anymore, no evil spirits to defeat, no bad guys to conquer, it was all the same old things now, day after day, sleepless night after sleepless night.

That was, until he met you, the Traveler, who had come in search of your lost sibling. He had offered you his help, and enjoyed your company during your visit to Liyue. It’s been weeks since he’s last heard from you, and he was reluctant to say he missed your company.

Little did he know, you were walking up to the balcony at this very moment, waiting to surprise the reserved Adeptus.
