Your legs dangled off the edge of the cliff, thighs tensed together as the guqin lays on top. Your fingers danced gracefully across the strings as it played sweet melodies.

[The Constellation, 'Demon-like Judge of Fire', hums along.]

[The Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is bored.]

You felt yourself smile blissfully. With their frequent comments, you felt as if you truly weren't alone. Although you still didn't enjoy the thought of being just an object for their entertainment, they surely did provide comfort to you.

While you played the instrument mindlessly, you didn't notice a certain dark haired Yaksha appear behind you. He stilled, the beautiful melody made him stand in silence to listen. Xiao felt as if the weight on his shoulders faded slightly, his eyes staring in awe at the person playing.

The feeling of tranquil surrounded his entire form.

And for a moment, he had forgotten all about his karmic debt.

You stopped playing when you felt a stare. Your hand held the edge of the guqin to keep it form falling before turning around a bit to see who was watching. Not to your surprise, Xiao stood there.

You felt relief that he actually appeared. Before you came to play the guqin, you remembered a certain moment where Barbatos would be playing a flute and Xiao would come after slaying demons. Now, you don't know when that happens, but you remembered the area it happened in. So, you decided to play here starting tonight to see if Xiao visits this place often.

It worked.

"Come here often?" You spoke up casually with a smile. Xiao blinked before his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
