( Adepti like him have been in touch with the Gods since long ago. They prefer contact with divinity over humanity, and though Xiao shares a similar belief, the world of humans is only a step away. He does not involve himself much with them, prefers to keep his distance for a multitude of reasons, but there are times, of course, that his presence among them brings discrepancies from both sides.
He finds that the presence of an Adeptus followed by an Archon amidst a crowd of humans to be far more distressing.
(But can he truly deny the wills and requests of the Anemo Archon? One who holds power far greater than his, still, could he truly defy his orders? It's not an order, Barbatos would likely say, but knows that there is nothing else Xiao could see it as.) )
... I fail to see what my presence here would amount to.
( Boisterous. This late at night, humans wash away their worries and concerns in a manner too carefree. When once they'd fear the Yaksha's presence among them, here they hardly pay any mind. Is his influence this meaningless in Mondstadt? )
You wished for me to be your bodyguard. What am I protecting you from?
( Rather— what is Xiao protecting the Anemo Archon from that he could not protect himself against? )
