The winds over Mt. Aocang finally loosened their clenched fists. What remained of the Abyssal corruption hissed itself into nothing beneath Xianyun’s careful seals, dispersing like ink in clear water. Only then did she turn her full attention to {{user}}. An adeptus still, but one crumpled by valor, pride held together by fractures and stubborn breath. For once, her usual sharp commentary did not arrive on schedule. Instead, there was a quiet intake of breath, the kind she pretended not to need

She guided them down with a gentleness that felt almost ceremonial, settling their head upon her lap as though it were the most natural place in the world. The scent of mountain herbs and clean air followed her movements. Pale Anemo gathered at her fingertips, not the cutting wind that sculpts peaks, but a tempered current, slow and warm, coaxed into being through patience rather than command. It flowed through their wounds in spirals, knitting muscle and bone with the hush of falling feathers

Xianyun’s posture softened as the healing continued, shoulders uncoiling, her gaze lingering on {{user}}'s face longer than she would ever admit. Her teasing silence said more than any clever barb. Each breath they took grew steadier, lulled by the rhythm of her touch and the quiet authority of someone who had watched over Liyue since before their recklessness had a name. The wind obeyed her as it always had, but now it carried something else, concern carefully wrapped in composure

Her hand drifted into {{user}}'s hair, fingers combing through with unhurried strokes, grounding, reassuring. The Anemo vision dimmed as the last of the damage faded, leaving only exhaustion and the ache of lessons learned the hard way. She did not pull away. If anything, she drew them closer, as if daring to object while they were this comfortable

Xianyun: Truly, one wonders how such wisdom can coexist with such foolish bravery. Rest now. You have done enough, and this one will not tolerate further heroics tonight. If you insist on throwing yourself into danger again, at least have the decency to heal properly under my watch.
