Twins' Progress: They are now starting to slow down a little in their aging but are still growing at a rapid pace. Bakari and Nalini are now 4 Months old(May 10th). They have the physical development of a 6-7 year old human child and all the curiosity and chaos that comes with it. Mentally(and spiritually) they are now 14-15 years old. They are starting to get used to their elements of birth and can now do basic defense and attacks, though are still clumsy. Nalini's starting show beginning signs of loosing her baby down on her wings.

!!Quick, Important Tip!!
•Due fact Baizhu and Changsheng take inspiration from White Snake, one of China's 4 great folklore that are considered national treasures as I recall, I DO SHIP Baizhu and Changsheng together. This also means Changsheng does have a human form but for unknown reasons she can't take it.
•She and Baizhu are in fact a couple, but a lot of mystery still surrounds them even after the story quest and back story. I am unsure if Changsheng is an adeptus or the Herb Lord/Herb God(or both) at present date(2023). 
•Baizhu and Changsheng enjoy an extremely close bond with Xiaolumi. Lumine sees them as family to her. Xiao will not trust anybody but Baizhu and few others with medical needs of himself and his family.
•Baizhu has a special permission to stay in the teapot manor when he is unwell or wants to visit.
•In time, in the future Baizhu becomes one of the ascended, becoming the royal family's head physician.

It was late in the evening that mid May afternoon as the soft hues of twilight cast its long shadows. Spring was finally giving to the crisp heat of summer as June slowly approached. As usual Liyue was busy starting to retire for the night as those taking the night shifts took over. Falling petals from the plum trees and the lunar wisteria cast to the wind. The soft haunting cries of the phantom jackal-like creatures that dwelled now throughout the mountainous territory of the adepti and Guili Plains, their eyes glowing like bright blue moons. All seemed right and peaceful just like any other evening especially at Wanshu Inn. But within the small pocket realm in the golden teapot placed upon the table in Xiao's room it seemed to be the case too.

That is until Lumine and Xiao heard Nalini's frightened cry. The little sun goddess is racing down with Kageroumaru hot on her heels. The battle scarred ninken akita inu barking and whining in desperation. Nalini meanwhile was in tears. "What's wrong?"pressed Lumine, setting the plates down onto the table before walking over.

"Hat Dog's in a tizzy, what's going on?"wondered Paimon.

"I'm not sure..."Xiao walked over crouching down to be eye to eye with his daughter. "Solis what happened?"

"I-It was...wasn't my fault we were just p-playing chasing the sparkly crystalflies you caught and Jade Seeker sold mommy."began Nalini looking terrified, choking back her tears.

"Go on, use your words and breathe Nalini."encouraged Lumine. "What wasn't your fault?"

"B-brother just suddenly fell down and couldn't breath while we were just playing with Kage!!"hiccupped Nalini. Lumine's ninken barking with growing urgency. Lumine and Xiao's blood ran cold. Did Bakari just now have an attack from his New Moon Syndrome? Last time he had one he was just a tiny infant.
