    Summary

    “I meant what I said,” Kafka replies casually. “Not everything is about you. I could just be here to get my brunch, minding my own business."

    “You really expect me to believe that?” Himeko says hotly. “How awfully convenient that you were sitting outside the one restaurant where I was on my first date in months.”

    Kafka shrugs. “Coincidences can be so funny when they want to be, can’t they?”

    Or, Himeko tries to move on from a volatile relationship by going on dates again. Kafka is never more than a few steps behind.

    Summary

    “I have… Been through a lot.”

    Lumine frowned. “‘A lot’ seems to be a gross understatement. You’re like a walking ball of trauma. Being enslaved and tortured for decades and then losing your whole family and then fighting this endless war, alone, seems to qualify as more than ‘a lot.’ Maybe more like 'constant suffering.'”

    “I have a contract, and it’s my duty and my honor to fulfill that contract. Even now that you defeated Osial, it’s still my job to defend Liyue from the demons that plague it.” Xiao rubbed his Vision between two fingers. “I’m the last defender in this invisible war.”

    “Hm.” Lumine sighed and rested her chin on her palm, looking up at Xiao with big honey-yellow eyes. “Then who will defend you?”

    Xiao's Backstory, from being enslaved and tortured to losing everyone he cares about; and the subsequent Story of how he finds healing in a certain Outlander. Angst ensues and relief follows.
