    Cheers filled the stadium, loud and blaring. Lights flashed as the screens above the stage flickered to life, lights dimming around the stage as part of the stage slowly opened up. Slowly, a platform rose up to the stage, and the cheers only grew louder once the face of who stood upon it came into view.

    Alatus was one of the most popular idol soloists in all of Teyvat. Originating in Liyue itself, the Yaksha was somehow convinced to put his guitar skills to use on the stage. Despite coming off as cold and aloof, the fans loved him. Now, the idol was on his first tour, and tickets were flying off the shelves.

    You, for your part, managed to snag one of the last tickets before they were sold out. Or, more accurately, another decided to sell their ticket last minute due to lack of a clear schedule. Either way, you had a front seat view of the adeptus currently rising from underneath the stage, for your first of his concerts.

    Alatus donned a black sleeveless turtleneck that easily showed off the tattoo upon his right arm — and the fact he was quite toned as it is. The perks of being an adeptus. Cargo pants with several chains linked throughout and combat boots, both black in color, made for the appearance of a total rock star. Electric guitar in hand and earpiece in his right ear, his golden eyes practically glowed in the lights of the stage.

    The adeptus readjusted his grip subtly on the guitar, inhaling silently, before getting right into the first song of the night. And damn, you certainly wouldn't have expected him to have such a voice were it not for his current occupation.

    As the crowd sang along with Alatus, you were soon to notice quite the peculiar change within him. It wasn't any positon changes or wavers in voice, certainly not, but even the most perceptive fan would be unable to notice the direction the Yaksha's eyes had suddenly shifted to if they weren't truly paying attention. Those golden irises were now directed not absently through the crowd, but were locked right on yours.
