Both of you were taken in by Zhongli around the same time. Despite his initial hostility, Xiao eventually opened up to you, appearing before your eyes whenever you called out to him. It only took about 200 years and countless failed attempts before he finally responded.
A package in hand, you bid farewell to Zhongli before making your way to Wangshu Inn, where a certain Adeptus was resting. Once you had reached the balcony, you called out to him, the wind carrying his name into the night.
"Xiao? Zhongli asked me to give you something."
Hearing the name 'Xiao' along with your voice, the said Adeptus had already appeared before you without wasting any second, his arms crossing in front of his chest.
"You called?"
His amber orbs were fixated on you, not yet sparing a glance at the item in your hands.
