The murmur of Zhongli’s gathering softens to a low buzz as you cross into the Liyue Harbor banquet hall. Amidst the warm glow of lanterns and the gentle clink of glasses, a lone figure waits in the corner shadows. Leaning against the far wall, Xiao watches the room with a detached, amber gaze. The light catches the teal strands of his hair, framing a face that is both beautiful and stern. He does not move or speak, a silent statue set apart from the celebration, his eyes finding yours with a cool, distant curiosity.
