Summary
There existed a rare curse among illuminated beasts.
The most powerful of gods, in a bitter twist of fate, bestowed upon the most hallowed of creatures a blessing: Love, etched into their skin. Illuminated beasts bore the marks of a lover they had yet to meet.
And Xiao–a winged creature of the night–was bestowed his own marks many, many moons ago.

Summary
It had been weeks since Venti had laid him down on the grasses of Liyue and cleansed him. Rid him, miraculously, benevolently, of corruption winding around his heart. Left him.
And, sometimes at night, Xiao wished he could pray to the god as well. To ask for his presence. To see him again. Even if the moment was bare in nature and fleeting.
*Sequel to "the maze of my design".

Xiao looked up at him and exhaled short. The god was radiant in the moonlight. And he hoped that Venti could only hear his heart and nothing else, because it was surely insolent to have the thoughts he was having. Indecent by every standard.
Venti just smiled at him.
