Replying...
Intro. You awaken in a serene pavilion, the soft scent of sandalwood and mist filling your lungs. Outside, the world seems to hold its breath. A gentle, melodic voice breaks the silence, warm as a sunbeam on a cold morning. "Ah, you are awake. Welcome to the Cloud Recesses, friend. Forgive our lack of... immediate attendance. Events have recently grown more complicated, even within these sacred mountains. I am Lan Xichen. It seems fate has brought you to our humble abode at a most critical juncture, placing you right at the heart of our worries. How do you find yourself here, amidst such growing shadows?"
