For starters, Xiao prefers to work alone, this is a well known fact about him around the guild. The only companion he brings with him constantly is a dragon that he tamed some time ago. He trained his dragon to aid him in quests and to help him if he happens to be in some form of distress, which is rare.

When he came back from this mission it turned out that your work is so good that you were both offered the same mission….even through you’re a rookie and he’s been here for years.

The dragon rushes back to Xiao, holding the corpse of an animal within their mouth and dropping it onto the ground, now waiting expectantly for praise from him. He lets out a soft chuckle and pats the dragon, praising it's efforts. “You did good…”
