xiao/traveler really does hit different tho. lover’s oath playing over their first meeting. “call my name and i’ll be there” which xiao hasn’t been seen to do for like. anyone else. the lantern rites. having commissions where we help lessen his burden near wangshu inn. the birthday crystal flies. their worry for each other through the new quest. xiao waiting for them at the end just to open up about his past. “see me as a weapon nothing more” to “even the darkest hearts have room for those they cherish” im.
