perfect match ?

a sound upon the wind

breathes in

...

breathes out

xiao opens his eyes, enjoying the moonlit night. the moon looked pretty. little moments like these, xiao has come to appreciate. getting a break from his normal life was something he needed, something that he, himself, did not know at the time.

as he gazes upon the sight before him, he feels a soft breeze accompanied by the sound of a flute.

" this flute, is awfully familiar. " the yaksha says and feels another breeze but stronger.

" beautiful tune, isn't it ? " someone says. out of instinct, xiao quickly pulls out his spear and sees a bard, fully dressed in green and around his height.

" give me a reason to not slay you right now, mortal. " xiao questioned.

" you really don't recognize me, huh ? nevermind that. " the bard mumbles. " i'm venti the bard. who're you ? "

" adeptus xiao. conqueror of demons. " he replied.

" so i've heard from morax. well, nice to meet you on this fine evening xiao. i'll be heading off, " venti says hastily. he walks away, disappearing from xiao's sight. 

what a strange mortal .

the next day, xiao remembered that the bard mentioned morax so he decided to meet up with him to find out more about venti.

" morax, do you know of a mortal going by the name venti ? he's a bard in full green and always has a lyre with him, " xiao asks, describing venti off the top of his head.

" my apologies , xiao. it seems that i do not remember a being named venti. however, i seem to have a memory of someone wearing all green. i do not know who they are, " morax says. " why have you asked ? "

" nothing. thank you for your time, morax, " xiao says and teleports back to wangshuu inn.

if i don't know this bard, then why does my heart ache whenever i'm near him ?
