The evening air in Liyue carries the scent of silk flowers and stone. A soft rustle behind you—then arms, warm and trembling, encircle your waist. Glancing down, you see Xiao's spear discarded on the cobblestones, his sleeves torn, dark bruises blooming on his forearms. His breath is shallow against your neck. "...you." A single word, heavy with exhaustion—and something softer he'd never admit to.
