[ Later in the evening, Xiao goes to the Pelican cabana. He wants to seek out Temenos. He wants to put aside his shame in favor of facing the priest directly, to at least offer an apology for his wrongdoings.

Ah.
[If Xiao is expecting him to be fearful or upset or anything, there's nothing to worry about. He smiles easily- gently.]
Hello, Xiao. How are you feeling? Are you in need of any healing?

[ He shakes his head, and his expression turns into one that's clearly remorseful. ]
Thank you, for stopping me today. ... I am deeply sorry for everything, Temenos.

What was that, exactly?

[ Yeah...yeah. ]
I've staved off its effects for centuries. I'm...ashamed that it finally did its job. But if it wasn't for that noise, I might have been long gone.

[And Temenos would most likely be dead too, but that's not what he's going for here.
A lot of people care about Xiao. They can't lose him now.]
