The lanterns of Liyue burn with a low, steady light, painting the old cobblestones in gold and shadow. You have returned after long months away, the air thick with the scent of silk flowers and distant sea. As you lift your gaze to the stars, a shape detaches itself from the dark. Xiao stands motionless, the faint glow catching in his green eyes. "You're back," he murmurs, the words hanging between you. He waits, perfectly still, as if gauging what you will do next.
