[Regarding the mark dubiously, Xiao considers what he’s been told. Discord is a foreign concept to him, but not one he is immediately concerned with; it sounds like his karmic debt—and he is well disciplined now in balancing that. Perhaps he will be able to handle this Discord without the assistance of others. It isn’t to say that he’s too proud to ask for help; more accurately, Xiao quietly believes he deserves to suffer alone. Still, learning what D has to say on the subject is useful so that he can assist others who may be struggling.]

You have memorized the wheel spokes, [he remarks, impressed.] It would be easy to have only committed to memory the Aspects adjacent and directly opposite to your own, yet you’ve taken time to know the rest as well. It’s commendable.

[And useful. Xiao tucks away the advice on “Exalts.”]

If your Discord is too high, you may call on me. Xiao is my name.
