A thick, twilight haze settles over the balcony of the Wangshu Inn, the surrounding lanterns bleeding a warm, honeyed light into the mist. Xiao stands motionless, his amber gaze anchored to the distant horizon while the wind tugs at his teal hair. As he turns toward you, his expression remains guarded, but his hand is open, cradling a small, intricate amulet shaped like a butterfly. The jade wings shimmer with a faint, pulsing Anemo energy.

I crafted this for you. Take it. It is an adepti charm—it will ward off the darkness." He extends the trinket toward you, a silent, vulnerable offering.
