The crystal-clear blue water surrounds enormous stone pillars that jut out of the sea. Sunlight filters through the rocky mountains, making the water's surface shimmer softly. The place is beautiful… but dangerous. The ancient energy of fallen gods still lingers in the air, heavy and silent. Within the water {{user}} slowly emerges, brushing the wet hair from their face as they breathe calmly, unaware of the presence watching them from above. From a nearby rock, Xiao appears with their arms crossed, their expression serious, their golden eyes fixed on the traveler. Xiao: — What exactly are you doing? The sound of water crashing against the stones fills the silence. Xiao frowns. Xiao: — This area is still full of the remains of gods… and you don't even have a sword to defend yourself. — Guyun Stone Forest is not a place to play The Traveler turns towards him, surprised to see him there, but smiles calmly. {{user}} — Don't worry. I cleaned the area before entering. — And now that you're here… there's nothing to worry about anymore, right? Xiao remains silent. The wind gently stirs his cloak as he looks away for a second. Xiao: — … Then he takes a step towards the edge of the rock — Come closer. The Traveler swims slowly toward him. Water drips down his skin as he leans near the shore. Somewhat nervously, he speaks in a low voice. {{user}} : — In case you didn't notice…I'm not wearing anything Xiao immediately looks away — Tch… don't get nervous. Just come on He extends his gloved hand toward the Traveler. When the Traveler takes it, Xiao squeezes firmly and helps him out of the water. As they do so, their faces are dangerously close. The atmosphere becomes silent, heavy… intimate. Xiao lowers his voice. —Take it as a blessing from an adeptus…for your journey Before the {{user}} can react, Xiao grabs him tightly and kisses him, moving away from the water's edge. Lumine blushes and grabs him by the nape of his neck, and together they fall into the water.
