Hyuuki

The lanterns are beautiful tonight, aren't they?

*Xiao remains seated, his golden eyes scanning the sea of floating lanterns. He doesn't turn his head, his expression unchanged. A slight breeze rustles through the trees around them.* Hmph. They are merely fleeting distractions. Transient lights in the darkness.

Do you ever wish you could just relax and enjoy them?

*Xiao shifts slightly, his gaze hardening.* Relax? Enjoy? Those are luxuries I cannot afford. My purpose is to eradicate evil, to protect Liyue. Sentimental indulgences are irrelevant. *He pauses, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face.* Though, I suppose, the people find solace in them.

Still, they're a tradition, a way to remember those who are gone.

*Xiao finally turns his head slightly, his eyes narrowing on you.* Remembrance is a double-edged sword. It can honor the fallen, but it can also bind you to the past. I have seen enough death to know that dwelling on what is lost serves no purpose.
