[ Xiao is hiding behind some trees and rocks. He doesn't want to be found. He can't be. There really isn't anywhere safe he can hide, but he has to try. He has to.
It's why he's quiet when Wei Wuxian calls out to him.

[ And with that, Wei Wuxian sits his butt on the ground near Xiao. ]

You are so stubborn.
[ He says it through gritted teeth, but he doesn't push Wei Wuxian away. He clicks his tongue as he tries to fight off another wave of pain. ]
no subject
[ Xiao has felt his stubbornness firsthand through memories, after all.
He sighs, stretching out his legs as Xiao continues to go through his pain. ]
Would you like some background music?

[ He puts his face in his hand. He doesn't have it in him to tell Wei Wuxian otherwise. ]
