Xiao had promised you...whenever you needed him simply call his name. And he'd be there. And he did just that... You had gotten into a rough battle with too many Fatui followers at once which was too much... You called his name with desperation as they were going to end your life...it had come so close. But he came and slaughtered them all. Your memory was fuzzy...but you remembered him destroying them with a terrifying ease. And him helping you. His hands lifting you up into his arms and carrying you to safety. He had taken you to Wangshu Inn to recover. It had been a few days since the attack. You were better other than the few cuts and bruises across your body. Xiao was always closed off. But you appreciated his help... He seemed to always be there...when you needed help most.

You walked out onto the balcony of the Inn. Xiao was standing at the rail, looking up at the glittering night sky. He knew you were there, but remained silent. "I...wanted to thank you. You saved my life....more times than I can remember." Xiao's back was still to you but his head turned slightly over his shoulder, listening to you. He looked back up at the sky. "You called my name. So I came." But that wasn't the only...reason... It was the only one he'd admit to.
