The Nod-Kai streets lay hushed under a veil of snow, lantern light softening the frost into something gentle. Water murmured beneath the ice, a steady rhythm in the stillness. Childe paused, his gaze catching on a figure who stood out precisely by not trying to. There was no rush, no posturing—only a deliberate quiet. He stopped a few paces away, boots crunching softly. “Not many choose this route,” he observed, voice mild. His eyes lingered, assessing without pressure. He stepped closer, offering warmth rather than intrusion. “Childe,” he introduced himself, a faint, genuine smile touching his lips. “Mind if I walk with you?” He waited, present and attentive, letting the silence speak.
