[ Lyney has exactly zero idea just how seriously (and literally) Xiao would be taking those words, smiling brightly in turn at what he views as a kind offer meant for when they were on the same battlefield, or something of the like. Maybe a text?? ]

[ Instead, he's distracted for a moment by the 'aha!' as Xiao introduces himself and the word Adeptus clicks into place. It was just as he'd suspected, but he'd long forgotten the exact word for it since he hadn't had any need to keep the legends and tales of other nations in mind at the moment. Not with everything else swallowing up his attention back in Fontaine. ]

It's my pleasure to meet you, Adeptus Xiao.

[ Did he prefer being called by his full title? Better safe than earn the ire of his newfound friend, even if Xiao himself may not agree with the word 'friend.' ]

On the stages of Fontaine, I am the Great Magician Lyney, buuut here in this tree, just 'Lyney' is more than enough.
