[ He could hang around and question true motives, what effects losing a fragment of their soul has on a person or even wonder what he truly is. What does being a new self mean entirely and could he possibly interact with the self who still resides back in Teyvat? Or he could just settle in and check out his new residence. Yeah, he is going to go ahead and do that first. Maybe he'll find the time to ponder things thoroughly later. Maybe.

It turns out that his brand new, cozy, cute little cottage came lightly furnished. This leaves him to question what exactly is he supposed to do with the cardboard box he finds inside, even if it turns out to be surprisingly sturdy. Fortunately, the kitchen came fully stocked; unfortunately, there were far too many carrots for his liking. Those would immediately be wrapped and his first thought is to get rid of them but as he heads outside he spots someone close by. ]

Good morning, neighbor.

Please take these as a welcome gift.

[ Might as well kill two birds with one stone, right? Curry favor with his new neighbor and get rid of these abominations. ]

[ Cold weather, enough to cause snowfall — Xingqiu cannot help but to think of his dearest friend whom he knows would enjoy the cool temperature. Right, cool temperatures which he probably isn't dressed to handle but he isn't going to let that bother him this isn't Dragonspine after all and there is no Sheer Cold meter. He may have continued along his way, exploring his new home until he meets the Snowman. The very demanding Snowman.

It was rather picky about the creation of its new friends. Xingqiu was sure he could manage it on his own but any attempts to do so causes it to immediately protest so he relents. To his luck, someone happens to be coming down the path so he attempts to get their attention. ]

Good afternoon.

If I am not disturbing you, this gentleman— [ He points toward the snowman behind him with an elegant movement of his arm, the snowman for its part corrects Xingqiu that he is no gentleman but a snowman ( and even manages to give him an odd look despite the limited decorations that make up its face). That does cause Xingqiu to glance back, and repress a sigh as he is only trying to assist here before speaking once more. ] Yes, this Snowman is in need of some assistance.

You see it is in need of some company. Snow people company to be precise. If you have the time would you be willing to help me in making him some friends?

[ With the invitation in hand, he never got a real chance to consider if he accepted joining everyone in the celebration — this is very much like his birthday parties. So perhaps the Fox of the Northern Lights wants to play the role of his father or older brother? In any case, he arrives via magical invitation and already donning his new outfit there is no point in rejecting the summons.

For the most, if among strangers he will remain polite and sociable; accepting to dance with just about anyone, and no matter the skill he would attempt to offer compliments. Otherwise, he can be found near a buffer table with a moderate amount of food on his plate mostly consisting of sweets. ]

[ feel free to toss anything. i can also write a starter for those interested in doing some of the stuff from the message board, just pm me. ]
