Xiao didn't stir when he heard the steps, but instead it's the sound of the blond's voice that has tired, sad golden eyes turn towards his direction. He was trying to completely discern if this was another fake or if the real one had truly been returned to the world, but once he surveyed Aether's face as he'd knelt next to him? The look he was wearing and the two words... that told him everything he needed to know, and precisely why he shifted over as to quietly wrap his arms around the blond.
