Summary
It is a foolish thing, but Zhongli seems to hand out scraps of comfort like it is nothing throughout the visit; a pat to the head, placing a warm hand on Xiao's back to nudge him in the right direction, words said in a soft tone meant to comfort whenever Xiao flinched at a loud noise.
Zhongli seems far kinder than Father ever was, and Xiao does not know if any other person who would take him -useless, stupid, good for nothing him- would be as kind as Zhongli. If Xiao plays nice; if he is obedient and good, will Zhongli keep being kind?
Xiao knows better than to hope, but they do anyway.Zhongli rescues a child named Xiao from a domestic abuse case. For better or worse, said child gets incredibly attached to him.
(Probably for the worse, given Zhongli is terrible at human communication.)
Or, the struggles of Zhongli trying to juggle the single dad life, much to the amusement of his friends.

Summary
Despair makes itself known when an arrow grazes Xiao’s side, drawing blood. By some unfortunate twist of fate, they have stumbled into a Hilichurl camp. The Lawachurl roars to the answering cries of the Hilichurls, and continue its attack with renewed vigour.
Xiao takes stock of his enemies quickly and is upon the offending Hilichurl archer in the next moment, delivering a quick series of strikes to end its life. Another arrow whistles through the air at his back, only to be knocked aside with a burst of Anemo.
Adeptus Xiao is not invincible.

Summary
Something about the god softens. “I offer you a contract so that you are assured that I will not use you as a weapon, and that you will be safe. I will not force you to fight, or do anything you do not wish to.”
There is no price. Nothing he must pay. And yet they will receive-
Alatus swallows a sob, feels tears starting to prick at his eyes. Is it possible? For a god to be so kind? Is this why Rex Lapis’ kingdom flourished while his old master’s drowned in despair? His old master’s subjects had whispered about Rex Lapis, about how the god is overwhelmingly good, and knows justice like the back of his hand, in a desperate sort of plea to be saved.
Alatus’ master is killed by Rex Lapis on the battlefield, and Alatus is offered unbelievable kindness by the god.
(How Xiao got his name and came to serve Rex Lapis.)
