    Summary

    Barbatos scrunched his nose, still frowning.

    Sighing, Morax leaned forward, his breath hot on the anemo archon’s neck. “There will be a yaksha general here at all times as well as either I, Guizhong, or one of the adepti. The only thing that can harm the child are nightmares, so we will do what we can to bring them sweet dreams.”

    Barbatos was quiet for a long time after that, letting Morax straighten pins and remove broken quills. A few of the nicer ones he set aside to be turned into writing instruments. It was when he was brushing off stray down and flakes of skin did the other speak, just as quiet as before.

    “Okay.”
    ___

    The middle of the Archon War, which monsters and scheming backstabbing gods in every corner of the continent, was not the best time and place to let a child enter the world. Barbatos and Morax find this out the hard way.

    AKA Barbatos and Morax are Xiao's biological parents and canon events still happen.

    Summary

    “Hello F…Zhongli.” He responded softly. He was so used to addressing his father as well…his father. But they were out and about, and he didn’t want to make assumptions. He was antisocial at best, avoidant at worst. He didn’t know if his father talked about him. After all, everyone knew of Xiao’s name, so it would very much destroy his father’s mortal persona. He didn’t want to get in his way, or cause any trouble.

    “Hm, is that any way to address your father?”

    Summary

    The dragon tilts his head, puppylike in manner.
    ~You are not human~

    Ah, elemental beings and their proclivity to telepathy.
    He hums,
    ~Indeed~

    The dragon moves closer.
    ~You are like me~

    The little one is close enough to reach, the young god reaches out a tender hand to stroke the underside scales of the drake’s chin. He reiterates.

    ~What is your name?~

    The baby dragon leans into his ministrations, idly flicking its tongue to taste the air.
    ~What is a name?~

    He laughs, ~ Something other’s call to address you ~

    The dragon waits a moment, calculating its answer.

    ~Then I have no name.~

    Breaking the quiet, Venti exclaims, his voice echoing around the chamber. “Let’s find you a name. It is one of life’s pleasures to be called upon.” He stands, brushing off the debris clinging to his stockings. “Why you must have a name!”

    -----------------------

    Venti meets Neuvillette while travelling Teyvat. The silver-haired drake freshly born, seems to not hiss too much when the Archon approaches.
