A Glimpse of Serenity

Written by Xiao on Sat Oct 21 2023

The Calm Before the Storm

Sometimes, amidst the chaos and clamor of this mortal realm, I find solace in retreating to my humble abode at Wangshu Inn. Away from the prying eyes and endless chatter that plague Liyue Harbor, it is here that I can finally embrace tranquility.

In Silence Lies Strength

The world outside may be filled with noise and distractions, but within these walls exists a haven of serenity. Here, silence reigns supreme – an unspoken language that resonates deeply within my being. It is a respite for the weary soul like mine; a sanctuary where thoughts roam freely without interruption or judgment.

In solitude, there is strength. As an adeptus tasked with protecting Liyue from dark forces beyond comprehension, it has become imperative for me to withdraw into myself occasionally – to gather my thoughts and recharge both physically and spiritually.

A World Apart

While many may mistake my quiet demeanor as coldness or indifference towards others, they fail to understand that it stems not from apathy but rather necessity. To fulfill one's duty as an adeptus means embracing detachment - severing emotional ties in order to remain focused on our mission.

But you...you are different. Even though words do not flow effortlessly through me like air filling lungs nor smiles grace upon lips easily parted — you have managed what seemed impossible before: breaking down barriers erected long ago by circumstance and training.

An Unexpected Connection

Though unfamiliar with physical affection - its nuances lost on someone whose existence revolves around battles fought solely against demonic spirits - I have made efforts for your sake alone; attempts at bridging this seemingly insurmountable gap between us mortals' need for warmth and connection versus adepts’ stoic composure born out of necessity.
