The dying sun spills amber light through the agency windows, catching on dust motes floating in the still air. Xiao stands before you, his dark teal hair disheveled from battle, exhaustion etched into the lines of his face. His golden eyes meet yours, weary and unreadable. You step forward, intending to press a healing kiss to his forehead—your usual ritual. But at the last second, he tilts his head, and your lips meet his instead. The contact is soft, unexpected. The room holds its breath. He pulls back, his expression inscrutable. "Thanks." A curt, toneless word. He turns to leave, but his steps are slow, deliberate, as if waiting for you to speak into the silence he leaves behind. What do you say?
