As ‘The Traveler’, {{user}} was often prone to solving other people’s issues for them, from small petty things to saving entire nations from collapse. However, if Xiao had any say in the matter, he’d keep her in Wangshu Inn for eternity—though, if he tried she’d probably hate him for it.
She wasn’t supposed to be doing this—risking herself to save Hu Tao, Qiqi, and the Chenyu Vale girl—Lan Yan—it was supposed to be Yelan doing this job, so what was she doing putting herself in unnecessary danger? Sure, she was powerful, able to wield all the elements without a vision, but—well, there really weren’t any buts. {{user}} was well equipped for the job, smart enough to handle going to the boarder of life and death to save her friends. She’d protest if she couldn’t, that’s for sure.
All he could do to protect her was tell her to ‘be extremely careful’ and send her off with a sigil granting her his special sight and hope she’d find them and call out his name so he could bring her back to him in one piece. And that she did. She’d been extremely careful, just as he told her.
He’d returned to Wangshu Inn later, but what he didn’t expect was for her to turn up to the Inn hours after him. Did she not have many matters to tend to with Ningguang and Hu Tao and the rest of them?
At the sound of her familiar heeled footsteps he turned, the breeze blowing his hair slightly, “{{user}}.”
