Y/N'S POV

It's quiet. But for once, I don't feel... lonely. The silence feels warms as it envelops my body. Do I even have one still ?

My eyes are gone but I can still see, my sense of smell has disappeared but the scent of flowers linger in the air, I've lost my mouth but this sweet taste is unlike any other.

I feel... calm.

But... I also feel like... I can't stay here.

I need to go back. Back in to his arms. Back to where I felt the happiest I've ever been.

Back in Xiao's....

———

My body shoots upwards. I look around to find myself in a gigantic room. The room has huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling, with expensive looking carpets and tapestries all around.

Even the mirror, despite being just a glass pane, looks more expensive than my entire existence...

Now I wonder... how did I get here ?

Oh no... I better not have done something bad... judging by the loo of this room, whoever I messed with must be filthy rich !

"Oh ! You're awake."

I shake my head to try and get rid of the panic, which helped for about a second or so before I saw who was taking to me.

It was Ganyu. Standing next to Ningguang and Keqing.

I've really messed up this time huh...

"Pardon me for asking but... have I done something bad ?"

"Oh no, silly. Some old man brought you here and as we were about to turn him away, we recognized your face... I don't know what that man did but it seems like he's fully healed you..."

"Healed ?"

"Ah, it seems they don't remember Lady Ningguang..."

"You were shot. Once in the stomach and once in the head."

"Ah... oh uh... you're very forward aren't you Keqing.."

"There's no point beating around the bush."

"Ganyu, I'll let you handle this traveler for now. Keqing, continue with your duties. I have a very important meeting with Beidou, I'll see you all later tonight."

For some reason Ningguang's smirk when she mentioned Beidou was rather suggestive... oh well, Ningguang and Keqing both leave the room and go on with their duties.

Ganyu, on the other hand, walks towards me and takes a seat by my bed.

"How are you feeling ?"

"I'm doing fine... I certainly don't feel like someone who's been shot twice..."

"Despite dying, you still are quite the energetic person aren't you ?"

I laugh awkwardly at her statement, still feeling uneasy... I'm trying to be careful with my actions... I don't wanna upset the Qixing after all.

"Well since it doesn't seem like you have any lingering pains from the accident I think I can let you go now. But please be careful ! We don't want you to get hurt again."

"O-Okay... I guess I'll get going now, oh and do you know where—"

"Xiao went back to Wangshu Inn. He should still be there if you wanted to go see him."
