"aether?" xiao mouthed as your eyes were glued to the blond with his floating friend.

"i feel like i know them.." you told xiao as you tugged his arm

"can we talk to them?" you asked while you were already walking towards them

"stop." xiao said as he pulled you back from walking

"i know him." xiao followed with his words.

"it would be inappropriate to barge him in with sudden questions.. let's go back to the inn." he mouthed as he urged you to go back to wangshu inn.

"but we might not see him again!" you told him as xiao loudly sighed.

"why are you so hard headed." he faced you and grabbed your hand.

"i am not." you rebutted

"that wasn't a question." he once again sighed as he was holding your hand on the way back to the inn.

"but how will we meet him again.." you quietly mumbled.

"i told you. i know him. we'll send a letter for a formal meeting."

"for now.. i need to see your dreams."

"get to bed." xiao ordered you around.

"..do i really have to" you mumbled

"(first name). if i repeat myself one more time you'll be sleeping permanently." xiao said as he sat on the bed.

and with that you suddenly jumped on the bed and tugged his arm, "h-haha that wouldn't be necessary, mr. adeptus. g-good night!" you said as you hid your whole body inside the blanket.

"i thought so." xiao said as you heard him chuckle a little.

"here." you said as you stuck your hand out of the cover.

"here." she said as she stuck her hand out of the big blanket.

"you're not asleep yet." i told her as i took her hand anyways.

"i'll sleep now!" she loudly said below the cover.

i stared at the blanket for about 3 minutes, "are you not hot in there..?" i quietly asked as i took off the blanket covering her face,

and in such a short amount of time, she really did fell asleep.

her (hair color) colored locks scattered through her face, i tried sweeping the stray locks away from her face, but i was afraid to wake her up.

"such a fragile human.." i mouthed as i concentrated to fully look into her darkest kept memories.
