Xiao X Aether

character: aether_(genshin_impact), xiao_(genshin_impact). A side-view medium shot captures aether and xiao standing side by side in serene prayer within a traditional Japanese garden during daytime. Aether, on the left, has long blonde hair with an ahoge and single braid, pressing his praying hands together with eyes closed. Xiao, on the right, features teal-tipped black hair with parted bangs and a red forehead mark, standing with praying hands and eyes closed. Both wear elegant kimonos, intricate patterns and folds visible in hyper-detailed fabric textures, beads, tassels, and gloves catching sunlight. Japanese temple architecture frames the background with stone lanterns, manicured trees, koi ponds, raked gravel paths, and misty mountains beyond. Cool-toned color grading bathes the scene in high-resolution depth of field, bokeh highlights on foliage, evoking peaceful reverence in masterpiece anime illustration quality.
