I’m in love with this description

Before I head to bed, let me just send u a little wholesome game really quick♡ I've been following you for a while now but I've just been too shy.. But here I am! Let's start off with a wholesome tag game ; Tag your lovely mutuals, tell us what you love about them and associate them with a color!!♡♡ you can tell us why you associate them with that color too if you want!! I'm a sucker for wholesomeness so I hope u have fun! ヽ(o＾▽＾o)ノ ♡♡♡ ☁︎. that one randomly positive anon lurking in blogs :P

Awe that's so sweet of you hon! Don't ever feel to shy to come talk with me I adore it. I also love the wholesome vibes so let's get into it.

PS mutuals! I am, so sorry if I left you out oh my god I'm trying to do this from memory bc it would be rather difficult to scroll through all of my followers. 🎀💫

@bumbleklee - Bea is just such a fun presence omg and just a delight to talk to make me go EEEE. I associate her with purple because she's caring but also very out going! Lots of love Bea.

@cxlrose - Cal my beloved, you were so open to start talking to me and I love how just happy and supportive you are?!! Cal is a soft golden orange, bright and sweet! (popsicle vibes?!) Absolute sweet heart even if they may have a folder of cursed images hiding somewhere.

@nnovawrites - Lilac! Nova is very kind and cool and just <3 such a lovely welcoming vibe, that is also very distinct and unique. (Also blog theme top tier.) Lilac to me is a very silky smooth color that can be found in sunsets or flowers and that just feels right.

@alberivh - Veille is definitely some type of blue. Perhaps a dark but pigmented color. One that is intense but also very welcoming and also to represent sad and tears because oh my god angst writer extrordinaire?! I remember following like wow this person. Good angst I love angst and then seeing you followed be too and kinda imploding

@chichikoi - Koi has soft lime, bordering mint green vibes. Very much vibing and has some go with the flow vibes. I'm getting simultaneously chill and also super bubbly and WOO! which is green vibes! 💕

@witch-hazels-musings - Dusty pink, mauve type color! Omg hazel is so kind and supportive and AH whenever we talk you just bring everyone up. You are so kind and caring and just, warm and pink definitely fits you well.

@windblumeodes - I feel like a dark dark purple maybe a little unsaturated just like the sky right when the sun starts peaking out and it's warming up and it goes from dark to tinted purple at the horizon. Again I have no explanation it just feels right.

By The Lantern's Light... (Xiao/OC)

A/N: Tysm to @windblumeodes for commissioning me 🥺🥺

this is an excerpt of the fic I wrote, centered around Xiao and her OC, Bedelia!

Wordcount: 1.7k

My commissions are still open! DM if interested + more info here!

Having moved to Liyue, Bedelia was reminded daily of just why she was so taken by the nation. Qingce Village was especially picturesque with a kind community, and when her vision sang for another adventure or story to pen down, she’d venture to other parts of the land to satiate that desire.

She felt spoiled to be able to wander through breathtaking plains and mountains as she wished, though perhaps this was a blessing from her homeland’s archon, who she'd like to imagine smiled upon the pursuit of such luxury. 

Lantern Rite festivities were well underway; children played around the marketplace whilst foodies perused the stalls, new and old friends alike gathered to release lanterns and enjoy feasts. 

The biggest finale, however, was scheduled for later tonight. Her neighbours insisted she venture here to witness it in all its glory, and so she did, booking a few nights at Wangshu Inn. It wasn't as lively there as in the main city, though it seemed that it was more than enough to deter a certain yaksha...

Bedelia had long left the bustling crowds in the city to search for a spot to watch the fireworks. It was earlier than needed, but she also wanted to walk off the food in her stomach and savor the quiet nature outside.

The grass underneath her feet crinkled softly as she made her way up. Bedelia was far enough from the city that it was quiet, save for the chirp of animals and random bursts of smaller fireworks. A nostalgic feeling hugged her shoulders like the ghost of a friend. Back in Mondstadt, she would wander out at night to watch the stars, a cloak and notebook in hand that made her feel the littlest bit like she was on an adventure.

She couldn’t help but smile to herself. Her life might not be the most eventful, but it was certainly far from a boring one; she’d make sure of that.

Bedelia encountered a few people in passing, finding stray lanterns that landed in the oddest places after someone or another released them. It occurred to her that social workers would have to clean them up eventually, earning a pang of pity in her chest. She looked up to notice one caught in the branches of a tree. 

Considering that it wouldn't be any good for animals, she made to retrieve it from its precarious position. These must be bothersome too… 

For reasons unknown, this made her think of Xiao. Perhaps he'd say this was why he didn't bother with human ways, calling them unfathomable and fickle. She could almost hear him saying it, arms crossed and all. The smile that crept onto Bedelia's lips turned a little regretful; it was too bad she never got to see him in the weeks leading up to today. The nation was celebrating a well-loved tradition after all, it would’ve been fun to talk to him about it.

Xiao must be busy… 

Lost in her thoughts, Bedelia wandered around the bend of the mountain rather than continue to climb it. She'd eyed a taller point earlier as a potential viewing spot, however, a small break was in order. She grew used to the weight of the lantern in her arms and was now looking for a convenient place to leave it. 

She noticed a chamber on the side of the mountain - a cave. It wasn't too large of a space, but it was enough to sport the traces of a campfire and adventurer supplies. 

Bedelia almost dropped the lantern when something moved. Beneath the darkness was the gleam of golden eyes, she summoned her weapon instinctively, lowered into a cautious position when she realised…

Xiao?

"Wait- What the hell are you doing here?!" She sputtered. For what reason could Xiao have to rest in such a dark place in the middle of nowhere? "Even the fire isn't lit! I thought you were a panther or something!"

"There aren't any panthers in the area." Xiao paused. His polearm laid beside him where he sat. "You surprised me too, I didn't expect to see you here."

"You don't sound very surprised." Bedelia held her head in exasperation. Slowly, she picked her way into the cave and lit the leftover wood with her vision, sitting down near it.

Xiao swirled the fire with anemo, helping it burn. "I could hear your footsteps, it sounded human enough."

She didn't want to imagine what could've happened if he mistook her for a hilichurl. With the campfire burning, the cave danced in its light. Bedelia turned to reply only to freeze at the sight of Xiao; his skin was littered with remnants of battle, fresh and untreated.

"Did you just fight something?" Her eyes scanned for any serious wounds. "Do you need healing?"

"It's nothing." At Bedelia's unconvinced look, he lifted his arm to demonstrate that there was no difficulty. "Just the usual."

What's the extent of your usual? Her mouth pressed into a line. Xiao hadn't been around Wangshu Inn in weeks, meaning that he was busy warding off evil spirits. Did enough people notice the sacrifices he made for Liyue in the shadows?

"Were you going to release a lantern?"

Bedelia blinked, then followed his gaze to the item in question. She waved her hand as she answered. "Oh, this isn't mine. I found it while I was walking around, thought I’d pick it up since it landed awkwardly in a tree.”

Xiao sighed. “Those lanterns aren’t truly needed for an adeptus to hear your calls.” He took the curious look in Bedelia’s eyes as a sign to continue. “So long as you speak our names in prayer, or with enough will… It is possible it’ll stand out among the rest.”

“Does that mean you can normally sense it?” Her body leaned forward in interest. She’d heard of gods and beings that had this ability but never looked into it.

He pondered, making Bedelia wonder if he was listening to someone’s words as he glanced away. “I can’t speak for the others, but I can at least sense the strength of people’s prayers. Wishes for good health, hopes for a brighter future…” Xiao’s eyelashes fluttered close. “Sometimes they can be desperate, but it’s like a pool.”

“I see...” The words swam away in a whisper. “Have you ever heard my voice in that pool?” As quickly as she said it, Bedelia thought of another question. “Have any adepti contributed to it before?”

At that, he opened his eyes. Xiao was never easy to read, but it was even harder now when she’d said a bit too much; always stepped on the line, never more. Bedelia felt an odd twist in her chest at the idea that if she did cross over, Xiao might never be willing to see her again. So she backtracked, and straightened, with an uncharacteristic hurry in her voice. “Ah... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean... Please pretend I never said that.” Her hair curtained her from having to see his reaction as she lowered it in apology. “I forget, it’s hard to call us friends, right? Or maybe we are friends-- But it’s still not something I should’ve said.”

Bedelia stopped herself before she could ramble more, the words pouring out like a dam broke open. She scolded herself in her mind; what was she doing?

The sound of fireworks outside drew their attention, louder than before. Bedelia almost forgot her reason for coming here after having been distracted by Xiao.

It's a buildup to the Mingxiao Lantern's release, she thought. If she wanted to watch the show, she should get to a higher place quickly.

As if reading her mind, Xiao gestured for them to leave and guided her around the mountainside. They exchanged no more than a few words as he escorted her up, taking shortcuts and supporting her climb at trickier parts until they reached their destination - a peaceful spot graced with a singular qingxin bloom, and a clear view of Liyue Harbour from afar. 

Bedelia did her best to calm her racing heartbeat and focus on the lanterns that dotted the city like fireflies. Like they had numerous times in the past, the pair sat and watched the scenery together in each other's company. Except this time, it was a view neither of them were too accustomed to.

Finally, Xiao broke the silence. "It's not unheard of for an adeptus to call the name of another." It struck Bedelia that his quietness was because he was considering what she'd asked. "But in my field, there's no one to call to other than myself."

Bedelia's throat dried at its transparency; he was the last yaksha. "I can't imagine how endless the pool must feel when you're the only one braving it…" Her eyes were downcast. How lonely… But I can’t offend him more by saying that.

Xiao picked the qingxin, studying the flower in his hand. "I'm used to it. It’s simply my job, there's nothing for you to be sorry about." He raised his gaze to catch hers; timeless and solitary, like an adeptus' should be, but clear. "It's not like you're the cause of demons."

He offered the qingxin to Bedelia, who accepted it with a smile curved with slight disbelief. "It's true what they say about the adepti’s benevolence." Should she be surprised at all? Xiao had always been… "Or perhaps it's just you that is too good for the world."

Xiao held her gaze, so earnest in her view that he could not bring himself to deflect it. Instead; "If you'd released a lantern, what would you have wished for?"

The launch of the Mingxiao Lantern interrupted them, booming and flaring to life like a thousand stars, though Xiao did not look away from Bedelia's lips as she answered, or the micro-expressions that flitted across her face.

He stored those words into the depths of his mind as he turned his attention to the Lantern Rite's finale. As he watched the likeness of an old friend gallop into the night, he wondered if his dreams would ever see the same path into the sky.

At the very least, Xiao was certain that Bedelia's would. For he knew she could shake the stars with her impossibly determined flames, and he'd make sure nothing could ever dare to extinguish it.

[windblumeodes]

thanks for the tag, cass !

I’m definitely flirtier and more outgoing online than in real life. I wear blue light glasses to help with screen fatigue. In real life I tend to be more observant and wallflower-ish, and typically struggle talking to strangers unless we share common interests. in any regards, my online persona is way cooler than me in real life—and she knows it too

[windblumeodes]

some good fluffy food ❤️❤️

I was threatened into writing a request, guess I’ll have to go with angst— /jk

This might be different from your usual requests, but it would be good to give some of the best kiddos in Mondstadt some happiness.

Could I request some headcanons for Noelle and Bennett getting what they desire the most? For example, I imagine Noelle’s would be becoming a Knight and Bennett’s would be getting a consistent adventure team. How would their personality change? What would we as the traveler/reader notice about them? How do they tell us the news? Sweet fluff like that. It’s a let them be happy challenge. 😤

I swear this will be fluff I swear this will be fluff as I was writing those words i got an idea for angst wtf,,, Most of this is character-centric but both have a smidge of reader content, as an x reader blog they're romantic jajsjs or are they? Another light light angst idea someone stop me

》▪︎Noelle 

How would their personality change?

Noelle, having already been very self-assured in her abilities, is now more confident in herself. Self-esteem is a long-term commitment, but she's familiar with those. Her armor and Favonian crest act as both physical and psychological protection from external and internal threats. She struggles to not clean things regularly and secretly brings some compact cleaning supplies on patrol. Just in case.

Sometimes, if her patrol route allows, she'll sit under Windrise, a rose in her hand and a nostalgic smile on her face. And every year, when dispatched to Liyue for cargo escort, she stops at a certain tea shop and ends her day listening to tall tales at Third-Round Knockout, wishing you were there.

She appreciates that you extended to offer to travel together, but in all her years of pleasing others, she's where she wants to be and she's putting herself first. No one is worth leaving the Knights, not even someone she loves because finally, finally she's fulfilled herself.

 What would we as the traveler/reader notice about them? 

Her head is held higher, she's as poised as ever, and she's less nervous. Although she's achieved her goal, her will is still as strong as it was before. After all, performance exams are still exams. She's gotten this far, and she's here to stay.

She invites you on patrol with her when you're in town and brings you back to Windrise when she can, presenting you with a rose every time. She's been to your teapot several times before and it never fails to make her smile when seeing the large vase of roses Baizhu has, upon request, made more resilient.

How do they tell us the news?

If you're not a crier then the end to this is not for you lmao dw its fluff I'm just a baby

"Aha! There you are, Traveler. How are things? I'm sure you've brought plenty of whimsical foreign gifts back for me."

"Kaeya! What a surprise, I wasn't aware the Knights did welcoming committees."

"Only ever for you, sweetheart," he teased. "Come with me, we have something planned."

"We?"

"Oh, did I say we?" A knowing smirk played on his lips. Without another word, he took off, and you had no choice but to follow.

He took you to lunch at Good Hunter, purposefully making as much idle chit-chat as possible to see you squirm until…

"Kaeya! As lovely as this is, I have someone I really need to see. We can grab lunch tomorrow, but I'm dying to see her."

"Hm, she should be done by now anyways. Too fast at cleaning for her own good, I suppose."

"Are you talking about… I can't believe you were here to stall me!" you scoffed. "Hm, wouldn't she have any cleaning done in advance though? Is everything alright?"

"You'll see," was all he gave before briskly walking away, leaving you with nothing to do but follow. 

》▪︎《

Kaeya left you at her door with a wave, likely off to skirt paperwork. You knocked firmly, excited to see your dear friend after so long. Noelle whipped open the door, a surprise on it's own, but nothing was more astounding than the armor she wore.

"By the Seven… finally! Finally they let you pass!" You threw your arms around her, luggage forgotten on the cobble.

She blushed but didn't shy away like usual, instead returning your hug with vigor. "Yes! It seems visiting you in Liyue was just what I needed, these past 6 months have been nothing but vigorous and I felt so much more capable after our time together. I ended up passing! I was going to send you a letter, but by the time my custom armor was delivered I'd received your last letter! I'm so happy you're here."

You drew back, hands still on her pauldron-clad shoulders as you examined her face. She seemed more… well, just more. She was still Noelle, bashfulness and all, but it was more flustered than embarrassed.

One of your hands dropped to her sternum, fingers playing over the Favonian crest that gleamed there.

"You look so dignified," you whispered with a smile.

"And you look absolutely radiant."

That was a surprise.

Before you could ask, she continued. "Come with me to Windrise."

》▪︎《

Silence was regular between the two of you, comfortable even. No matter how much or how little you wanted to say, Noelle was a calming presence and silence fell naturally.

After stopping a moment to offer your respects to Barbatos, she had you follow her around the tree. You smiled, remembering the last time you were here. Noelle was turning a handmade paper rose in her hands— just like she was now? She must have brought one with her, how cute.

"Y/N… before I give this to you, do you know the meaning of a rose?"

"Of course! You gave me one last time we were here, a promise to be my confidant."

She grinned at the memory, but gently shook her head. "Remember the Traveler? When they were here, they told me what a rose means where they are from. Y/N, this rose represents all the secrets I've kept from you. You see, I was waiting until I reached knighthood before declaring this, and it has happened all too fast. However, one thing I'm sure of is what this rose means. In giving you this rose… I give you my heart. That is what the Traveler told me. I hope you will accept." She held the paper creation out to you, determined eyes fixed on your shocked ones.

"Oh, Noelle… " she faltered seeing your eyes glaze over and hearing your voice waver. "All this time I've been warring within myself whether or not to put myself out there or wait for you to take the first step. I've wanted to be with you for years now, I cherish you and all that we have so dearly," you rushed quietly, gingerly plucking the rose from her fingers and cradling it to your chest.

And so you sat under Windrise, a paper rose in one hand and the hand of your new lover in the other.

》▪︎Bennett

How would their personality change?

He'd mature a bit, being slower to blame things on bad luck since he's realized good things DO happen, sometimes they just come slower. He's more careful, taking responsibility for being too reckless with the excuse of his bad luck. At long last, he's learned when his bad luck really strikes now that he's able to prevent more. Of course, he's still a fun-loving trouble magnet, but he's more in tune with his sense of self. He does hold some guilt because countless people were hurt because of his recklessness and he dismissed it because of his curse, perhaps he even lost someone, but he's working through it and taking steps to avoid a recurrence.

What would we as the traveler/reader notice about them? 

He's got a more dignified air about him, no matter what age he finally gets his team together. He's bouncing off the walls less and takes caution in case one of his team members is at risk due to his bad luck. Still always goes in first, both as their trouble magnet and as team leader. He goes a bit quiet sometimes, but when you've asked others, they say he doesn't do it with them. What could be the cause?

Now that he's got a stable income, he hires someone to do his shopping for him. It gets difficult to eat when everything's out of stock or too expensive!

How do they tell us the news? 

This one's better answered as "how does he celebrate" because there's no way you don't know every development of this as it occurs.

Since the beginning of the week, Bennett had been talking nonstop. And with good reason, too. He found some people to adventure with, all of whom had experienced his bad luck firsthand and had decided he was worth it. No matter where you were, be it by his side in Mondstadt or deep in the stifling clutches of Inazuma, you were apprised of the situation and were set to be there when they signed up as a team under Benny's name.

》▪︎《

Today was the day. Bennett had burst into your room (despite it being locked) and woken you early that morning. Once you were coherent, you took a moment to process the contrast between how gently he woke you and how he was dashing about your room, tossing clothes at you and putting toothpaste on your toothbrush before you'd even gotten out of bed.

"Come on, Y/N! I let you sleep in, but I want to get there early!"

"I'm coming, give me a bit," you shook your head with a smile and began your morning routine, Bennett waiting quietly on the bed. He was almost vibrating by the time you finished, and the second your pack was slung over your shoulder he had your wrist in his hand and was already in the hall, barely giving you time to shut the door behind you both.

》▪︎《

You and Bennett had some time to talk before the others arrived at the Guild, so he reminded you of who they were, the strengths they'd bring to the team, and anything else he could remember. 

Katheryne was equal parts excited and nervous, especially when one of the members was ten minutes late. A loud cheer went up when they arrived, much to their embarassment.

It wasn't a big affair, just some signing and sealing of papers, but Katheryne had put up a few streamers and ordered a cake from Good Hunter with his signature thumbs-up, left with Sara so they could have a celebratory meal beforehand. It was a short walk to Good Hunter, but you were wiping happy tears from Bennett's eyes the whole time, his team members looking on in varying degrees of humor and concern.

》▪︎《

The meal was fantastic, all kinds of personalities coming together in a wonderful group. Bennett's demeanor seemed to change depending on who he was speaking to, having learned to engage different parts of himself to complement his teammates. You were proud of him, he'd come so incredibly far from when you first met him. Bennett would always be Bennett, but it was heartening to see how he allowed himself to enjoy the company of others and how it made him a more well-rounded person. 

At long last, everyone said their farewells and Sara offered her last congratulation of the day. Bennett had offered to walk you to the city gates, but seemed to have either slipped into a quieter mood or tired himself out. It was difficult to tell.

In truth, Bennett was furiously putting together vivid plans of how he was going to ask you out. He'd get down on one knee— that's for much later, no. He'd get down on BOTH knees— wait no, too weird. He'd take you somewhere nice— can't enjoy it, not with his luck. Would you look at that, he's standing in front of your door and you're saying goodnight. 

"Wait!" he yells, mind catching up to the present.

"Yeah, braveheart?"

That nickname never failed to make his heart soar, especially paired with that smile of yours.

"You in there, Benny?"

"Yeah! Yes. Yes I am," he rushed with a sheepish grin. "Hooh, no time like the present. Would you go to Good Hunter with me? Not now, but sometime? As a… as a date?"

Your grin shone brighter than the afternoon sun. "Of course Bennett. I'll see you tomorrow bright and early," you lilted before packing his cheek and walking away.

The grass at his feet burned as hot as his cheeks while he walked back into Mondstadt.

If the endings seem rushed that's bc they are ‼ ty for reading ♡

The Shogun

Content Warning: Spoilers for Inazuma Update; Post contains screenshots from Archon Quests

Please keep scrolling if you do not wish to see spoilers. 

is this what an archon’s power looks like? after seeing her power, it’s hard to believe that Venti or Zhongli could have once wielded their power like this.

furthermore,

she is absolutely terrifying, and I love that we’re finally getting to see a god act like a god. i think a lot of players have been shocked throughout this update and this is one of my favorites. she didn’t hesitate: “each god has their own way.”

How They Show They Love You | Mondstadt Male Characters

My head-canons on how the mondstadt characters would show they care about you. All head-canons are inspired by canon lore, character stories, and character voice-lines. Enjoy! 

Warnings: NA | Content: Fluff 

Diluc

He lets you come visit him in the Angel’s Share. While you’re visiting, he lets you recount your day’s events to him. He listens quietly and attentively. Even when you think he’s not listening, he’s making note of every word. 

Later when you mention something that you had previously told him about, he will surprise you with his listening skills. 

If you come in and you’re quiet, he will prompt you to tell him about your day. If it seems like you’ve had a slightly off day, he will give you a drink of your choice on the house. Once he’s learned your favorite, he begins to prep it for your visit in advance. 

Kaeya

Kaeya will go out of his way to find you once you return to Mondstadt. If there is even the slightest rumor that you will be coming in briefly, he will find out when so that he can welcome you. He tries to be the first one to do so. 

When he isn’t the first one to welcome you in, he does, of course, resort to his usual snark-filled humor. But, it’s all in an attempt to make you smile. While his humor can be dry, and he knows it makes you shake your head and roll your eyes at him, you can’t fight a smile either and that’s worth the occasional groan. 

He even will skip work if it means spending time with you before you leave again. 

Albedo

Despite being busy, Albedo does his best to make time for you. This may come in the form of helping him collect materials for an experiment or assisting him in research, but he wants to make you feel involved. He knows that he can dive deep into his work, but you never feel like you aren’t receiving enough of his attention. He will ask for your input in his theses and deductions, and he will always consider your hypotheses. 

If you fall asleep in his lab, he will stop his work to cover you in a blanket and get you a pillow. 

He is always offering to make you coffee or tea. He even starts purchasing your favorite kind of coffee or tea and prepares it for you when he knows you’re coming, and he will make himself a cup of it, too. 

 Venti 

He will play you songs upon songs if you only ask. He even writes songs just for you. The songs vary from his awe of your bravery to his affection for the apples you pick for him. 

He even tries to curb his drinking for you. He opts for alcohol-free drinks and when he does have a drink, he makes sure to monitor it. He doesn’t like making you upset. 

Whenever he does make you upset, he will go out of his way to right his wrong. This often comes in the form of him trying to serenade you with a goofy song about his failings and wrong-doings. Once he brings a smile to your face, he apologizes and offers you an apple. You two then share it underneath the tree at Windrise: your favorite spot to spend time together.

About Me: 

My username here is WindblumeOdes, but you may call me Jupiter. 

I am 21 years old and very intrigued by the characters and lore of Genshin Impact. My favorite characters are Xiao, Ganyu, Yanfei, Razor, and Bennett. But, almost all of the characters have a special place in my heart. 

I hope to some day earn a Master’s in creative writing. I have two cats that I love dearly. And I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

To Liyue Harbor: Xiao x Reader

Spoilers: Xiao’s Friendship Level 7 Interaction in Teapot

A short writing inspired by Xiao’s friendship lines: using some canon lines and some fanon. 

Xiao invites the traveler to visit Liyue Harbor with him. 

Content: Fluff, Gender-Neutral Reader 

There is something intriguing about the ‘vigilant yaska.’ Apart from the obvious, of course. He’s reflective and introverted, a man haunted, yet he wields his weapon with the grace of a dancer. Moreover, he is kind. To you, at least. He has never purposefully said one harmful word to you. 

Although he’s still learning how to interact with humans, and although you know that most of his attempts are still inlaid with slight negativities, you cannot bring yourself to stay away from him. No matter how much he asks you to. 

He wants to protect you. To never let you close enough in the chance that his karmic debt might begin to weigh on your shoulders, too. But, he is lonely and you are lonely: both human, but not, and destined to bear the weight of the world. 

So, it surprises you when he stops in to visit you. You hadn’t even called out for him. He shows up in a gust of air. You can smell faintly the sweet dew scent of the mountains of Lîyue, and your hair is disturbed by the wind. And then, there he is. His own hair being gently lifted by the breeze until it disperses. 

“Xiao,” You greet. 

“Do you have free time?” He asks. You watch him spin his pole-arm out to the side and it disappears. 

“Yes. Is everything alright?” You eye him carefully. He crosses his arms over his chest and looks out towards the horizon.

“Yes,” He admits. His eyes still focused somewhere in the distance. “If you have the time, we can go to Lîyue Harbor together. If not...never mind.” 

His voice dropped, a slight growl slipping out at the end of his request. You blinked at him, surprised and, honestly, amused. You had spent so long trying to convince him to come with you to see the Xiao Lantern’s in Lîyue that his sudden request threw you off. 

“Xiao, of course we can go.” You say. You pop up out of your seat and bound to him. You grab one of his hands, and he turns to face you. 

“Have you finally decided to get accustomed to the city?” You ask. Your eyes bright with excitement. He looks at you with his same steady expression, yet you notice the tops of his ears are slightly red. 

He clears his throat, “I...I have no intentions of getting close to the lives of mortals.”

You knit your eyebrows together. He watches the confusion cross over your face before he shakes his head and continues. 

“But, I know that you often enter and leave the city. The stories of these times, or their joys, if I don’t experience such things myself, it’ll be hard to understand your thoughts.” He does not move his hand from yours. His amber eyes search yours. 

You stare back at him. The realization of his statement dawning on you. You felt your heart clench in your chest, emotion stirring. You cheeks grew warm and suddenly, you felt embarrassed to have teased him. 

“You’re doing this...for me?” You asked, at last. Xiao nodded. 

“Yes. To understand you better.” He said. You felt his hand turn in yours and squeeze it gently. “I have a feeling it will be difficult, but I can’t simply sit back and do nothing. You have tried to understand me. It is only right I do the same.” 

You felt a small smile turn up the corner of your lips. Xiao’s other hand moves to rub the back of his neck as he lets out a small sigh: had he been holding his breath? You knew he had a great deal of anxiety regarding these things. You felt so moved by his kindness and gesture that you surged up on your toes and kissed him on the cheek. 

Xiao’s hand stiffened in yours before he relaxed. You watched his cheeks turn a shade of pink. 

“I...I will try to control myself in the city, and speak....as little as possible.” He added. 

You squeezed his hand this time, “I’ll be with you.” 

He nods again, reassured. His fingers intertwine with yours. You feel him pull you closer as the wind picks up around you two. His body is firm and strong and warm, and you lean into him as the two of you let the wind carry you to Lîyue Harbor.
