    Summary

    “Freedom, huh?” Cecili murmurs. “Is this what this is? Not having my memories—is that freedom?” He’s worrying the grass between his fingers, tearing out some of it in absentmindedness.
     
    “For some, it might be,” Xiao says, echoing his earlier thoughts. “Do you think that’s what freedom means for you, Cecili?”

     

    The bard lets out a small, wry laugh. “What do I know of freedom,” he says, and watches as the grass blades drift away in the wind.

    A stray amnesiac bard makes a home for himself in Qingce Village. Despite himself, Xiao visits, again and again.

    Summary

    A Xiaoven oneshot.
    ---
    After succumbing to the weight of his karmic debt, Xiao finds himself underneath the Windrise Tree, with only the Anemo Archon to accompany him.
     

    A story in which the one remaining yaksha can only find peace in the comforting presence of a bard from Mondstadt.

    "Venti had managed to sneak their way into the adeptus' heart."

    "Maybe, just maybe, he showed Venti the way so someone would call out his name just for the sake of calling it out. Nothing more, nothing less."

    Barbatos inched closer, shifting so he could pull at the strings while leaning his head on Xiao’s shoulder. As Xiao listened to the gentle melody, he wondered: where have I met you before?
