『Slow updates for now 』
↱"By the way (Y/N), Xiao can be a bit.. Feisty at first."
↱"Oh trust me Zhongli, it won't be a problem with me."
↱"Haha as expected from an old friend."
⥤ (Y/N) is an old friend of Zhongli, an Adepti, and someone people mi...
I was walking behind (Y/N), one of the first Adepti to ever step foot on Liyues land. Though I've never met them until many hours ago, I'm surprised they would have the heart to gift something to someone like me.
.... Now that I've thought about it more.. They've never mentioned anything, from where they came from to how they met Rex Lapis.
Who exactly are you, (Y/N)?
"Adeptus Xiao, You seem to be thinking about something, do you mind telling?" A voice called out in front of me. My eyes widened before looking in front to see the (H//C) horned Adeptus staring at me giving a warm smile.
"N.. No I'm fine..anyways we should keep walking." I said before I turned around and started to walk away from the electro user.
"You're going the wrong way."
"I know my directions!"

Aethers' POV
"Paimon do you think Xiao and (Y/N) got lost somehow? They're both taking a while and I'm starting to get worried." I sigh before standing up from my seat.
"Nope! Paimon's sure they're not lost because they're already coming our way!" I heard Paimon beam in an exciting tone. I look in look straight in front to see two figures walking towards us, Xiao seemed to be looking quite annoyed all while (Y/N) was talking about who knows what.
"Look who's back from their little hang out, did you two have fun?! What happened? Tell us about it!" Paimon exclaimed before floating towards the two Adeptus. "Paimon you're probably overwhelming them!" I said, pulling the floating child back "Hehe.. Sorry, Paimon can be a little troublesome at times.."
"Hee-hee.. Sorry." Paimon apologized, scratching the back of their neck.
Placing my hands on my hips, I only gave Paimon an unamused expression.
"It's almost like a big brother scolding his younger sibling, how cute." I look to see (Y/N) giving a smile and clapping their hands seeming to enjoy the show.
".. Anyways to answer your question Paimon, me and (Y/N) stumbled across Hu Tao and to the benefit of the doubt she let us shop with her to pick out some flowers." Xiao spoke up, crossing his arms he looked away seeming like he doesn't wanna say anything more.
Xiao turned to (Y/N) "Let's get moving, the hilichurls aren't gonna get rid of themselves now aren't they." Xiao said before teleporting away.
"What's up with him?" Paimon questioned. "I would say that's how he usually is but I feel like he doesn't wanna say something specifically." I replied frowning a bit before turning around and starting to walk away until I felt a hand resting on my shoulder.
"Why don't you help us Aether? The more people we have to help, the faster me and Xiao get things done." I heard a familiar voice speak out, I turned around to see the (E/C) eyed Adeptus staring at me waiting for my response.
.....
"... What's the reward?"

(Y/N)s' POV
"Let me get this straight.. You persuaded the traveller to help us take out the monsters near the Inn in return for..uhm.. Ugh. " Xiao struggled saying while pinching the bridge of his nose before looking at Aether carrying a stuffed animal with an unfazed expression painting his face.
