Today you were feeling in the mood to pick flowers at the top of the Wangshu Inn hill that had a huge oak tree growing in the middle of it all. It overlooked a giant lake that you had forgotten the name of, only knowing a little bit of its history.

Of course, there always has to be a catch. You were accompanied by Xiao, who had been silent the entire time. You didn't know exactly why he had decided to follow you out here, his only explanation being that he didn't want you to get hurt. You had a feeling there was something deeper going on since he kept his eyes deliberately off of you, scanning the surroundings and admiring the scenery.

When you had picked a pretty jade flower you turned to face him, thinking of trying to make conversation. You walked over to him handing him the flower before asking to place it in his ear. He gave you a stern glare, the corners of his mouths going downward in a disappointed frown before he spoke.

"I am not here for you to converse with. I'm simply protecting you, and nothing else."
