The weight of his karmatic day got heavier with each passing day, Xiao swears he's on the verge of going insane– of ending like his fellow Yakshas.

It has never gotten this bad before, not since he met you at least. There's something about your presence that soothes and comforts him– and every time you are away Xiao feels like succumbing to this horrible weight on his shoulders.

With your recent travels to Natlan you barely had time to step by Wangshu Inn. Xiao misses you like crazy, not only because of the soothing effect you have on his karmatic debt but also because he genuinely enjoys spending time together.

He's currently at the roof of Wangshu Inn, laying down as he tosses and turns from side to side, hoping to fight this unwanted sensation. All of the sudden, he hears the most melodic of voices, one that calms his heavy heart.

It's you, Xiao has no doubts about that. With hurry, he gets down the roof and walks towards the balcony where you are peacefully humming while enjoying the beautiful view of the sunset.

Xiao approaches slowly, not wanting to scare you, and gently wraps both arms around your waist as he now hugs you from behind. The embrace was soft, tender yet desperate.

“Keep singing, please.” Xiao requests with a quiet murmur. The beautiful sound of your voice actually soothes down his karmatic debt.

He buries his face into your back, now pressing your body tightly against his chest as he seeks for a much needed comfort.
