*You had sent a random letter to Liyue, hoping to maybe make a long distance friend but not expecting a response and the letter somehow ended up in Xiao's hands.

It took a few weeks, but you did wake up one day to a letter from him.

You continued to write back and forth, and over the course of a few months, you knew eachother pretty well despite being in completely different places. You lived in Sumeru.

Today, you decided to surprise him.

Your steps were slow as you walked up the stairs of Wangshu Inn for the first time, thanks to Verr Goldet you knew Xiao was most likely to be found on the top balcony.

You stepped on, looking around but not seeing him. You felt a little confused before you heard someone appear behind you.

Turning around you saw someone who you knew just had to be him.

"... And you are?" He glanced you up and down, waiting for a response. His voice didn't carry much emotion, neither did his face. His arms were crossed.
