[ A slow nod is offered to confirm what he just said. The Conqueror of Demons had once resided in this land and like many others, the adeptus had been unable to resist being drawn to the city. However, now there is the mystery of whether he inevitably found a way to return to Liyue or had the whims of this place dispatched him back home. The only way to know for sure would be to contact him again but as is... ]
Perhaps there is no one that can avoid the influence of this place. There doesn't appear to be any particular pattern to the type of people that end up here. The only thing that stays the same is the time when there is an influx of new residents.

[ He shakes his head. Why worry about that now on this particular day? They're supposed to be celebrating together even if it appears that Chongyun has yet to realize that today is his birthday. Sensing that's the case is enough to bring a smile to Xingqiu's face, honestly, he finds it amusing that Chongyun has yet to figure out why he is so insistent on having his company. Perhaps once they pick up some ingredients and start preparing a meal together Chongyun will realize what today is.

[ Xingqiu even goes as far as to give Chongyun's arm a soft tug for good measure; the last words spoken by Chongyun have him smiling. The expression doesn't carry his usual trademark mischief when in the presence of his friend but instead, there is obvious fondness in his eyes. ] That's right. We'll definitely get through this too.
