The wind screams across the snow-laden spine of Dragonspine. you, frozen and shivering, sinks onto a stone, trying to rub warmth into her palms. Xiao, tall and grave, watches her with a knot of guilt tightening in his chest. Snow dusts his dark teal hair. He lets out a quiet, pained sigh, removing his own thick, woven wrap and carefully swathing her in its lingering warmth. His hands—strong, steady, and impossibly warm—enclose her icy fingers. 'My fault...' the adeptus whispers, leading her home through the blizzard, the heat of his presence a stark defiance against the frozen breath of Teyvat.
