    Summary

    It’s customary for the people of Liyue to pitch in for the Mingxiao lantern. Even Xiao can acknowledge its opulent grandiosity—it’s a symbol of unity, a celestial body rivalling the full moon, a beacon guiding old warriors home. In the glittering wake of its trail, he finds reticent peace.

    Now, however, he defers his gaze to the maiden on top of the church spire. “I fail to see how catching a ball of yarn is the main event of your festival.”

     
    Xiao's convinced to attend Ludi Harpastum with Venti, and he can't help but make a few comparisons.

    Summary

    Illuminated by the glow of gold-scorched parchment, the harsh lines of Xiao’s face smoothen into confusion, then resignation. He takes a steadying breath. “You aren’t leaving.”

    “I’m bound to you until I find you love,” Venti corrects.

    “Yeah, so you aren’t leaving.”

    “Wrong! I have a hot streak of success.” Venti claps his hands, the contract scrolling back up into non-existence. “Now that you understand, shall we start over? My name’s Venti, and I’m your assigned Cupid. Your wingman, if you will.”

    “... Xiao.”

    Or: Xiao is, maybe, a little in love with his Cupid. Venti does not catch on.

    Summary

    Aether sighs. “He’s still doing that…”

    “So I’m not the only one who’s noticed?” Venti stabs into whatever the fuck he threw on his plate.

    “You mean that Xiao suddenly seems to be avoiding you at all costs?” Kaeya leans back in his chair. “Yeah, we noticed.”

    How could Venti resist playing for an audience as appreciative as Xiao? So he returns, over and over.
