Golden eyes rake Aether once over, calculating, before narrowing suddenly. In an instant, Xiao appears directly in front of Aether in a flash of dark smoke. The sudden closeness makes Aether’s breath catch a bit, and he has to dig his heels in to keep from stepping back instinctively, which is a remarkably difficult task under Xiao’s scrutinizing gaze.
“You have been in the Chasm,” Xiao says; it’s less of a question and more of an accusation. Or at the very least a rather aggressive observation.
Aether smiles wryly in spite of himself. “Vigilant as always, I see.”
