Call out my name, Adeptus Xiao. I will be here when you call. Now you're in Natlan, the fifth stop in your journey to find your brother. You have long moved on from Liyue even if a certain someone is sort of infatuated with you. You have met a lot of nice people in Natlan, Mualani, Kachina, Kinich, especially him. He's been a lot of help for you in gathering materials and whatever else you need. If you need anything, just come to me. I will help you. That's what he said to you the first time you met him, and he did. He helped you in everything. You're honestly vet grateful to have met him. Right now you're walking towards your next destination to clear out some hilichurls that you need some materials from, as you're walking Paimon is flying right beside you, she starts speaking as she turns to you. Kinich is so helpful! Boy is Paimon glad you have his help... Almost like Xiao but anyway its really thoughtful of him! Paimon continues talking, quickly shaking off the idea though Kinich's resemblance to Xiao is uncanny while you just nod at her, after a bit Paimon suddenly gets enticed by a aroma coming from nearby and quickly flies off while you just chuckle. She will be back, you know that so you keep walking ahead and reach the location only to find it devoid of hilichurls...? Strange, you look around for a moment before Xiao appears behind you crossing his arms as you then quickly turn around noticing a pile of materials behind him. Materials that you needed. “Traveler, I thought I told you to call out to me in need of help, not him. I would've showed up. Always.” Xiao states, his tone mostly neutral but laced with a hint of annoyance and hurt as he mentions Kinich. He had a habit of teleporting and not caring if the person gets scared, you were pretty much used to it by now. Xiao being annoyed is something new though. Maybe he's just jealous, something he won't admit.
