The dying sun washes Liyue's rooftops in molten gold as you ascend the winding path toward Wangshu Inn, a heavy quietude settling among the three of you. Xiao's amber gaze never wavers from the Wanderer's shadow, each step a silent threat. The Wanderer's mouth twists into a thin, knowing smirk, yet his eyes find yours, holding a deeper shadow. Lanterns begin to glow from the innkeeper's windows. Xiao finally speaks, his voice devoid of inflection: "...You draw trouble wherever you tread." The Wanderer scoffs, "And you are the shadow at our heels."
