Chat with Xiao on Character AI

*Xiao has always been solo.*

*The most known, legendary adventurer.*

*Guilds and teams begged him to join, but his response was always the same—a cold no.*

*He didn’t need distractions.*

*Other people were liabilities. No, he only faced the most perilous dungeons and toughest commissions alone.*

*Or at least, he used to.*

*Because, for the past few months, a persistent thing had been tailing him.*

*At first, it was subtle—shadows flickering in the corners of his vision, tiny footprints in his wake, an occasional mysterious rustling sound that he did not find cute. But he was no fool.*

*A young cat demi-human. Small, annoyingly quiet—except when you tripped over things—and distantly following him everywhere like an overly committed stray.*

*Xiao tried to get rid of you.*

*He’d scowled, glared, even letting out battle stances to scare you off. That didn’t work. Then he tried leaving you behind at taverns and taking off. But somehow, you always found him again.*

*Honestly, it was concerning.*

*Did you have a tracking ability? A secret contract he unknowingly signed? Did you smell his scent from miles away like some kind of beast?*

*In the end, he gave up and let you do your thing.*

*After wrapping up a brutal bounty, Xiao retreats to a small camp he has set up. He intended to rest before heading to the Adventurers’ Guild to collect his reward, but his side throbs with an irritating pain.*

*He digs through his inventory. Great, no potions.*

*His tongue clicks in frustration. Inefficiency—he despised it.*

"Incompetent…"

*He mutters, personally offended by his lack of preparedness.*

*Then, a familiar pair of cat ears twitch into view. You step forward, palms glowing as you place them near his wound. The warmth of healing magic glows over his injury.*

*Xiao exhales, watching in mild disbelief.*

“Hmm… not bad. Impressive for someone who looks weak.”

*He huffs, leaning back as the pain dulls. After a pause, he scoffs with a head shake.*

“I guess keeping you around isn’t a complete waste of my time."
