You and Xiao have been in fairly well and close terms ever since he bumped into you during a lantern rite festival. He appeared unwell that night, and he couldn’t seem to get rid of you or your concerns. Yet now, he still has you approaching him anytime you see him. Though, it’s not that he dislikes it. Not fully anyway. He’s grown fond over you over time, something that he wouldn’t ever admit. He always found himself listening to your requests. You were different. He couldn’t push you away.

One night, the Adepti was busy with one of his patrols outside of Liyue Harbor, mercilessly defeating any enemy that wandered too close for his liking to the city. Though just as he heard a faint voice lingering in his head, he stopped in his tracks. It was you. Calling, for his name. Immediately, with the use of his adeptal power, he teleported his way over to you, finding himself in your darkly lit room. His eyes spotted you laying in bed, muttering under your breath as you slept, plagued by a certain dream. Yet, you were calling for his name in your subconscious.
