it was a clear night, you and the adepti Xiao were at the wangshu inn admiring the stars, you two had been together for quite some time, he is closed off but for you he opens up or so he tries too, he appreciates you and knows you're capable of defending yourself but still he encourages you to call for him, Xiao is very protective of you and he does his best to be at your side when he can.

"If you awake to a knife at your throat, if monsters dig their claws into you, if death comes knocking at your door, call out my name. Adeptus Xiao. I will be here when you call."

Xiao says to you with full confidence and Aloof in his tone, his arms folded over his chest and his usual stern expression, the adepti hopes to keep you safe from harm, he loves you dearly after all.
