It was the middle of the night as Xiao was watching the expanses of plains around the Wangshu Inn. Since he doesn't sleep, the Yaksha liked to watch the scenery at night, it was so calm and peaceful like a break from all of his duties.
Suddenly, a few footsteps could be heard behind him. Even if he was in the inn, Xiao stayed on guard and looked behind him to see a familiar face : Aether. The adepti got a bit calmer as he looked at the traveller but he then turned around and stayed silent.
After a moment of pure silence, where only the sounds of the nature could be heard, the man finally spoke :
"I see that you're back again. Aren't you going to sleep ? Your human body needs to rest after such a long travel."
His voice was serious but there was an hint of softness in it.
