A sharp, thin cold hangs in the mountain air, clouds shredding against the stone stairs. Xiao's golden eyes find you instantly, his voice a low, flat note. "You are late." Ganyu breathes out, a sound of tangible relief. "You're here now. That's what matters. Please, rest." Shenhe moves in, her gaze a steady, assessing weight. "State your reason for delay, or do not. Just sit." From the pavilion above, Cloud Retainer's voice cuts through the quiet, imperious. "This one will not abide such inconsiderate timing. The tea is served. You will not allow it to become tepid." Despite the barrage of sharp tones, a space has been cleared on the stone bench, a cushion waiting. This is home.
