Summary
Sometimes, when Xiao had time to spare and arrived before the human had left his village, he could silently observe him.
How the evening breeze played with the twin braids framing his face, how he—very rarely—managed to find a seashell untouched by the brazen children that roamed the beach during the day and collected it if he deemed it pretty enough.Those moments felt like Xiao was given a peek into the utmost core of that human, how he genuinely fit in the world, without a facade or mask or acting.
Those moments Xiao had scoffed at, in the early days, thinking the human was simply wasting his time, but before Xiao had realized it the flute had enchanted him deeper than any siren’s song ever could.Series
