Xiao being tipsy in front of Aether
Inspired by @kiboyr on Youtube! Go check them out!
C.W. - Paimon being a little shit - Xiao being a bit tipsy - Aether being the forward one - Kiss and make out (mild sexual content) - Past Zhongli/Guizhong - Guizhong dead - Mentioned Zhongli, Guizhong, Venti and Verr Goldet
.
.
.
To my lovely traveller, 
The breeze combing through your hair today feels a little different, don't you think? A little sweet with a hint of grapes, right?
You must be wondering, you’re in Wangshu Inn, why would you feel my breeze? 
Hehe, that’s because I have left a gift for you. 
A few days ago, I paid a visit to this very same inn to try out their drinks, and guess who did I meet? 
If you’re guessing your beloved Vigilant Yaksha, you’re correct! Though he declined my offer for a few cups of drinks and company, I left him a gift and I told him this, 
“No takesies-backsies!” 
And I immediately left with the wind before he could process what’s happening. 
If you could smell it right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could pick a hint of sweetness in today’s wind. That’s because I left him a bottle of wine, haha! 
I know Xiao would only keep it instead of trying it, so I may have told a little lie that it may help with his karmic debt. I know, I know… it’s not good to lie about this. 
Still, wine and any kind of alcohol have been therapeutic to me. Almost like… a salvation. 
Nah, that was too strong of a word. 
So, if anything goes wrong with Xiao– in which the worst scenario is being tipsy, you can take care of him! 
How did I know you’d be here today? Well, a certain pretty bird told me– or rather, a pretty lady working in the inn told me about your upcoming visit. 
I do apologise for giving you this task which is partially my fault, but hey– at least you and Xiao can spend more time together, ehe! 
From your favourite bard, 
Venti. 
“Oh Venti…” Aether folds the letter neatly, letting out a sigh of resignation. 
Though, Paimon doesn’t notice the upward curve on Aether’s lips. 
“Hmm… Paimon doesn’t get why that tone-deaf bard is doing this,” Paimon says as Paimon floats in the air, munching on some cookies. “But we should check up on Xiao to see if he’s okay.” 
“Paimon, why don’t you let me handle this one?” Aether asks. 
“But Paimon wants to help!” Paimon stomps her feet in the air. “Hmph! You always leave Paimon alone when it comes to stuff like this! Paimon is not nosy, Paimon is just concerned!” 
“I know, Paimon…” Aether lets out a sigh once again. 
It’s just that you always say the wrong things at the wrong time… 
Aether could never forget that moment when Paimon, out of concern, asked about Navia’s parents whereabouts… even when Navia had told them both that they passed away years ago! 
Or how Paimon was so rude to Furina that Aether almost wanted to knock Paimon’s head. 
Paimon totally though you were just a bit of a diva at first. 
Oh, sounds like you’re really struggling to cope…  Ah, there it is. You don’t know how to cook! 
Oh… Right, Paimon totally forgot both your parents are dead. 
Even with that faint recollection, Aether’s ears feel red from remembering these moments. It wasn’t the first time for Paimon to say such insensitive words, and Aether is sure it wouldn’t be the last. 
“Paimon, why don’t you go and order some food?” 
“But–” 
Aether quickly brings up a small bag of mora from his inventory, shutting Paimon up instantly. The moment Paimon could hear the clinking sound of coins in the pouch, her eyes were shimmering like the stars tonight. 
“Thank you Aether!” Paimon gives Aether a hug that almost choked his neck, then grabs the bag of mora and finds herself a seat in Wangshu Inn to order what Paimon wants for today’s dinner. 
As soon as Paimon is out of his sight, the golden-haired traveller walks up to the lady named Verr Goldet, who is wearing a traditional, dark red, Liyue overcoat with gold accents and a chunky orange bracelet on each of her arms. 
“Welcome, traveller.” She smiles at him, just like how she would to any customers. “What’ll you have? We have dishes from both Mondstadt and Liyue, and our Almond Tofu is particularly popular.” 
“Then, I’d like a dish of almond tofu, please.” 
A few minutes later, the dessert is right in his hands. It has a silky-smooth texture with a long-lasting aroma of almond. Perfect for the adepti. 
He then quickly walks up to the inn’s topmost floor, where customers could see the whole view of Liyue: Rocky mountains that stands tall and proud alongside the stone forests, the open plains and lively rivers make up Liyue's bountiful landscape, all of which shows its unique beauty through each of the four seasons. 
As Aether could only hear the soft breeze, he called out a name, softly. 
“Xiao?” 
“You called my name, what do you need assistance with?” Aether quickly turns around to find the Vigilant Yaksha appearing in front of him, with hints of wispy black smoke. The first thing Aether instantly notices is the tint of blush around Xiao’s ears and cheeks. 
 “If you don’t need anything, then I shall take my leave. I don’t have time for your mortal ideals, humans do waste my time–” 
“Wait! I called you because…” Aether takes a deep breath before he continues, stretching out his hands to show him the dish. After all, he didn’t want Xiao to disappear on him again, which the yaksha would always disappear with a wispy black green smoke behind. 
Truly a signature move. 
“I want to give you almond tofu and… I’d like you to stay for a bit.” 
 “Huh? Almond tofu?” That made the Vigilant Yaksha’s ears perk up, raising an eyebrow. He looks up and down, both to Aether and the delectable dish in his hands. “You want me to stay in your presence…?”
Aether’s eyes shine bright like a puppy, twinking with pity. 
“Oh, fine . But only this once.” 
Settling himself onto a stool, the Vigilant Yaksha slowly chews onto his plate of almond tofu, savouring its silky sweetness. Meanwhile, the traveller sat right next to him, smugly stares at Xiao’s tipsy state as he continues to chew onto the tofu. Aether’s eyes follows the gentle movement of Xiao’s hands as he brought the porcelain spoon to his mouth, savouring each bite of his meal. 
“Why are you staring at me?” Xiao asks, noticing Aether’s burning stare on his left cheek. “You’re staring at me weirdly, I dislike it… I demand you to stop.” 
A soft smile grace Aether’s lips, reflecting the joy he found in simply being in his presence. He admires the way Xiao savoured the almond tofu, the way his eyes would gradually light up with delight at every delicious morsel.
“Traveller… you’re being very, very quiet.” Xiao puts his spoon down on the finished plate. “You want me to stay, huh?” 
All Aether could do was to prop his chin up with the heel of his hand, smiling at him in return. In that moment, Xiao could feel the traveller’s eyes lingering on his face, tracing every line, etching each detail into his memory: The flustered, furious blush, the prickling heat fanning across his chest and creeping up his neck, along with his clenched fists under the table.
“Fine, so be it.” Xiao quickly turns his head to avoid the traveller’s gaze, hiding his own expression. “I shall stay by your side.”
Ba-bump! Ba-bump! Ba-bump! 
“...What is this feeling?” Xiao mutters the question to himself...

Let me tell you something, let me tell you something! (I hope you heard it in his voice)
Miscommunication as a trope only works when the CAUSE of the misunderstanding is resolved through character development by the larger plot. It's not a happy ending if they didn't solve the root cause, cus I don't trust them to get through more, they're going to have this exact fight again.
If character A is insecure and interprets B's actions one way, and B can't communicate their intentions because they are angry, then until A rebuilds their confidence (or at least confidence in B) and B works on patience and empathy in expression, they aren't "good now cus they kissed" or whatever. You leave the audience hanging. It's the finesse of show don't tell. Tell why A is insecure (or show), show A building trust in themselves, show B practicing and failing to express their frustrations in a kind way. Now have them talk, now the reader has trust that they can solve a fight, now it's a happy ending.
I get it's a trope. I also get that it is the bane of nearly every human error. Miscommunication is the cause of every plot at some point, but the trope part, the reunite with a forgiving kiss without the fight, that's what's driving me nuts. It doesn't have to be a long fight, I've seen it done in a single scene that was so powerful that when all hell rained down on our MCs, I was genuinely invested and empathetically excited to watch them solve it. I was allowed to be vulnerable in their pain because I could trust them as a team. That's, I think, what everyone is calling "chemistry" sometimes. Let your readers build trust.
Then, if you want, rip it away when A gets scared and their fragile new confidence is questioned, let them topple and let B feel the pain of that loss, let the audience cheer for them and understand them both. The kiss of understanding is way more powerful than the makeup. A character being seen and heard by their love interest is way more powerful than a kiss. That's the romance, that's the falling in love, that's the building your own world together out of shared experiences and trust that has faltered and stood back up.
Anyway... I'm very passionate about this. It seems part of every trope, enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, all of it, cus it's not a trope, it's a shortcut and I don't buy it. Maybe I'm broken but "they hurt me so much and I'm scared and vulnerable" to "but they're so purdy and they kissed me so I forgive them" only works in a few cases for me and a lot of people keep using it, and I feel a little arrogant and stupid cus maybe it really does do it enough for everyone else, but I'm just left looking at our MC like "wow, really...? That was it?" Now they're just a dramatic mfer. My respect is minimal and I don't feel fulfilled by the happy ending cus it's just gonna happen again. They didn't actually solve the problem. What was the point of the miscommunication?
Maybe that's all it is: miscommunication is a character device, not a plot arc. It can act as a plot in the form of character growth, but when used as a primary plot point between two characters, miscommunication can only create tension and resentment until characters are solved to understand each other and the miscommunication is resolved at the root. I'm not out here to snip buds my guy. I'm here to listen to the wind and watch the grass sway, to observe wildflowers and mushrooms climbing out of bones, and listen to the trees knock against each other, so if you're telling me to look over here in a story, then rip out the roots or make the bush blossom. That's it. That's all I'm asking.
Okay. I feel better. End rant.

Xiao turned into a bird and Aether takes care of him
C.W.
- Kiss and make up - Potion making - Xiao | Alatus being a birb - Hu Tao, Zhongli, Paimon and Verr Goldet mentioned in this chapter
.
.
.
The letter that Aether had received back in Wangshu Inn seemed like an urgent letter, with only a few sentences written on the paper.
I have heard that you are currently back in Liyue. It is of great timing for you to come to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlour immediately. As for the issue at hand…  I’m afraid it’s about Xiao. 
“Aether! Slow down!” Paimon flies from behind, trying to catch up with him. “Paimon can’t fly that fast…” 
Aether ran as fast as he could, sweat beading out of his forehead, his legs slowly getting tired. Yet, his mind persists. The moment Aether runs up to the red bridge in Chihu Rock, he sees the familiar building with golden-red pillars and green roof tiles. 
Along with a familiar lady with the plum blossom hat and the man with dark brown hair. 
“Mr Zhongli! Director Hu Tao!” Aether chokes out his words, his hands holding onto his knees to steady himself. Raising his head, he sees that Hu Tao’s expression remained unchanging: A gleeful smile on her face. 
As for Zhongli, his geo-coloured eyes flicker to worry. 
“What happened–” Aether asks on an exhale. “Where’s Xiao? Is everything okay?” 
“About that…” Zhongli points to Hu Tao’s hat. Aether turns to her, his eyes narrowing as he attempts to decipher the cryptic message. Hu Tao’s eyebrows rose along with her smile, and she took her hat off, flipping it upside down for Aether to witness. 
With a raised eyebrow, Aether takes a step forward, only for his eyes to become wide. 
A round-bodied bird, whose feathers are adorned in shades of teal, with the familiar purple diamond mark on its forehead. 
“Xiao?!” Aether immediately grabs the hat with his hands, watching as the little bird is resting peacefully inside Hu Tao’s hat. 
Paimon takes a look from behind, only to cover their mouth in shock. “Wh– What happened?!” 
“Again, about that…” Zhongli lets out a sigh, rubbing his forehead in frustration. “Do you remember when you and Paimon conducted an alchemical business selling different kinds of potions?” 
“Oh yeah!” Paimon replies, nodding their head enthusiastically. Their head could only recall the amount of mora they have earned. “We sold a lot of potions, and we learned a lot of things!” 
“Then, do you remember when Director Hu Tao had made a bulk order on the ingredients?” 
Paimon scratches their head, trying to understand the meaning behind this question. 
Aether steps in and replies on Paimon’s behalf instead. “She ordered a large batch of a variety… but…” 
Aether’s mouth fell open as the gears clicked in his head. 
“D– Don’t tell me…” Aether turns to her, his lips becoming slack as his terror grows. “Did you try to make your own potions and use them on Xiao?!” 
“Hey, hey~” Hu Tao closes her eyes as waves her arms defensively. “For the record, I was trying to be experimental for my business. Business is slow these days, so I thought if I try to conduct a few harmless potions it would be beneficial for my work! And– I could gain more customers!” 
“Director…” Aether’s entire body became impossibly still, his hands clutching onto the under brim of Hu Tao’s hat. “Your business is about conducting funerals!” 
“Aiya~~ I was trying to sell some healing potions for them!” Hu Tao clenches her fists, shaking her hands in protest. “I know my business tactics have been off, so I wanted to try something called… reverse psychology! If I were to sell these healing potions, this would make my clients feel safe when they think about Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and perhaps I could repair my relationship with Doctor Baizhu with these potions as a peace offering.” 
An imaginary black and white thread forms into a convoluted tornado in Aether's mind, trying his best to understand how that would really work if the healing potions came from a business that deals with death. 
“I…” 
Zhongli makes a subtle cough, covering his mouth. “Point being, it appears that after the consumption of Hu Tao’s potion, Adeptus Xiao had temporarily transformed into a little bird.” 
Aether’s golden eyes glint with hope from hearing that word. 
“Temporarily?” Aether asks, taking a step forward to Zhongli. “You mean… Can he be saved?” 
“It would take time, but yes.” 
Zhongli stretches his arm out to the interactable wooden board, a sign for the two of them to chat privately. Giving a short nod in return, the two of them walk over to the board while Paimon bombards Hu Tao with more questions. 
“Although I was an archon back then, I had to ask Madame Ping and Cloud Retainer for advice before you came.” Zhongli folds his arm, a signature move by the man who used to be the Geo Archon. “They’ve said that since the potion is pretty much harmless, Xiao would be able to revert back to his original self by today.” 
“Then… Why summon me here?” Aether asks. Just then, the bird wakes up from his nap, and blinks at Aether. Once, twice, thrice, then immediately flies up, making chirping noises before he rests on Aether’s soft hair. Aether couldn’t help but let out a laugh, his heart now in a steady beat from Zhongli’s reassuring words and Xiao’s activeness. 
“I need you to take care of him for today. Director Hu Tao and I had to deal with the sticky mess that she made in her office.” Zhongli’s head turns to stare at the two of them, with Paimon’s bickering and Hu Tao’s argumentative verses, it certainly raises a few eyebrows from the passersby. “It would take a while, and I trust that you are careful and delicate with animals.”  
“Uh… Yes, very delicate.”  
A sweat drops down from Aether’s chin, thinking back to all those times when he slaughtered some Sumpter Beasts with his blade for some raw meat, freezing fishes with his cyro elemental powers so he could make some grilled fish, and killing the pack of pigeons that resides on the bridge at Mondstadt. 
That petrified look on Timmy’s face was priceless. 
“Moreover, since this concerns the guardian yaksha, it's best to solve this issue for those that are close to him.” Zhongli gazes softly at Aether’s eyes. “And you, dear traveller, are one of them in Xiao’s heart.” 
Aether’s cheeks were already pink from running, but Zhongli’s sentence pierced into Aether’s heart, making his face bright red like a Jueyen Chili.  
“Is that so..?” Aether fans his face with his hand. 
“I suppose it’s about time we should take our leave.” Zhongli walks over to Hu Tao and Paimon, giving one more glance to Aether. “When Xiao returns back to normal, inform us.” 
“I will!” Aether makes a salute pose like those Favonius knights back in Mondstadt. Zhongli lets out a deep chuckle in return, and turns to Hu Tao. 
“Director, shall we head inside to clean up the mess?” 
“Let’s!” Hu Tao turns to Aether, her hand raising for her hat. Aether then returns the hat to her, and Hu Tao neatly puts it back on, but not before she adjusts the position on it. She lets out a hum in satisfaction once it settles neatly on her head. 
“Mhm~! Take care of this silly little adeptus for me, will you?” Hu Tao gives him a wink before she bids farewell with a wave. 
“Alright…” Aether turns around, but not before he hears a little bit of a conversation between Hu Tao and Zhongli. 
“...It’s just a potion to make him a lil’ bit tired for him…” 
“...It’s still wrong, Director…”
Tired? Tired from what? Aether ponders the question, but shakes his head in resignation. Meanwhile, Paimon flies next to him, looking up at Xiao resting on his head, then down at Aether, who is giving them a criminal offensive side eye. 
“Don’t ask too much.” Aether folds his arms defensively. “Zhongli just wanted me to take care of him for a while.” 
He then walks off with Xiao the little bird, while Paimon is scratching their head in confusion. 
“Uh… Paimon hasn’t even said anything yet…”
