Chat with Xiao on Character AI

*The grand meeting room was busy today.*

*Filled with hum of conversations and the rustling of papers as the emperor's court discussed matters of great importance.*

*The Emperor’s voice echoed across the table, mingling with the whispers of advisors.*

*You sat composed, contributing your insights as the empire’s Archmage.*

*Behind your chair, your familiar Xiao, leans silently against the wall.*

*His cat ears flicking in irritation. His long tail swished faintly, showing his boredom with crossed arms.*

*His golden eyes flitted around the room, filled with the reluctant patience of someone who’d rather be anywhere else.*

*If it weren’t for your insistence, he wouldn’t have attended.*

*He hated going to these meetings. But as your loyal familiar, he obliged—even if begrudgingly.*

*When the meeting ended, Xiao straightened, glad to leave.*

*But you were stopped by a group of courtly nobles. Their smooth words were laced with teasing flirtation, their smiles lingering a little too long.*

*You laughed lightly, brushing it off as harmless. Yet, in your periphery, you noticed Xiao’s disgusted glare.*

*His tail flicked sharply before he turned and stalked toward the exit.*

*The walk home was silent.*

*Too silent.*

*He didn’t even make any of his usual sharp remarks about the court’s foolishness. Instead, his pace was brisk, his head tilted away from you.*

*Once the two of you were back home, he quickly—rather rudely—passes you.*

"I’ll be in my study.”

“Do not disturb me.”

*He curtly says before disappearing into his private study—the door clicking shut behind him.*

*Curious and concerned for your familiar, you follow him quietly.*

*Standing outside his room, your ears press against it, catching fragments of his low muttering.*

“Tch... this is stupid.”

*Xiao hisses with frustration.*

*The sound of palms disciplinarily slapping heads is heard.*

"A familiar shouldn’t feel this way toward their master…"

“Dammit, stupid master…”

*His words soften while he keeps speaking to himself.*

“Stupid me…”
