"Mondstadt..." He hears the name pass his lips, feeling the warmth and smiles before turning his attention to the large tree behind him.
"And what do you call this one?" There was just something about it that he can't quite describe.
“Thank you for the compliment!”
Venti responded after striking the last note of the melody.
“I’ll have you know I’ve won the most popular bard in Mondstadt three times.~”
He watches the visitor came down from his lounging on the branches.
"Your singing is pretty, little wind~"
What a time to be alive, he thought to himself before dropping down elegantly on the ground like the feline that he is and smiles.
“What's begun 🎶
Is the war that will 🎶
Force this divide. 🎶
What's to come 🎶
Is fire and the end of time.🎶”
As the bard continues the song.
“I am the one 🎶
Who can recount 🎶
What we've lost. 🎶
I am the one 🎶
Who will live on. 🎶”
He closes his eyes and listens to the tune, feeling the weight of the world lifting off his frail shoulders. It's been a while since he had heard such a peaceful melody. Then again, he had been asleep for an era or two, his body was probably still feeling a little drowsy.
“As the patron’s wishes~” He gave an introductory bow. His finger moving swiftly through the strings as the notes started dancing through air.
“I feel sun 🎶 Through the ashes in the sky. 🎶 Where's the one 🎶 Who'll guide us into the night? 🎶”
He tilted his head in thought, sincerely considering a list of songs he could think of before smiling.
"How about one to commemorate our fateful meeting today~? I shall leave it up to you."
Why does he had this feeling that he was going to sneeze but not. He knows there are no cats that wanders here at Windrise. Throwing that thought at the back of his mind.
“An audience!~ do you have any song request perhaps?”
He was like a stray cat, loung lazily on top of the tree as twilight eyes gazed upon him with curiosity. What a strange fellow he was, light on his feet...
𝑆𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙.
"A bard are you? Would you play a song for this weary traveler?"
The windborne bard heard the call, tilting his head up and saw their new visitor.
“Well you certainly don’t look like one of my children.” Saying mostly to himself. Before addressing the man above.
“Why hello there, strange traveler~”
Nothing escapes the sorcerer, his galaxy-hued eyes glances below at the bard, giving him a lazy smile.
"A breezy fellow~ Care to join me, little wind?"
His steps were light as he approaches the base of Windrise. Der Frühling settle nicely on his arms while playing a gentle melody. The sound that always welcome a new traveler visiting.
A gentle breeze kept flowing in the air as it carried the melody through the area.
The wind in this realm felt nice, what a peaceful moment it was ro just enjoy the breeze. He could feel the ticklish breeze of the wind tattling on him to the authority of this region.
How fun~
It seems they have a visitor. Listening to the winds rambling about a new visitor had arrived and resting at his favorite tree.
“Well why don’t we give them a welcome, shall we?~”
It won’t be long before he too had arrived at Windrise.
Lounging on top of one of the tree branches at Windrise when he felt a sudden gust of wind.
"My, my. Have I finally gotten caught, @WindsDivineSong ~?" He was, after all, a trespasser and seemed proud of it~
#GenshinImpact#Venti
Hehe, guess what surprise I've got for you today?
Shh, not so fast — close your eyes and listen closely. You might hear the clues hiding in the wind.
The scent of Cecilias? Your nose is sharp as ever. But that's not the only thing I've got for you this time...
Every flower here comes from a place you've visited. They're all witnesses to your journey through Mondstadt.
Wherever you go next, you know the wind and the fragrance will be close behind.
Venti wonders when his old friend can relax one of these days.
It didn’t take too long till he heard the sound of his footsteps and heard his names.
“Zhongli! Welcome back!”
Venti had waited and waited for Morax to return.
Playing a few songs to past the time.
Surely now that his friend is retired he would have more time.
But nooooo
—
-- was not aware Venti came to visit him at his home though he had felt the wind has yet to change course.
Imagine his surprise to see the bard right at his doorstep.
"Bar— Venti?" He called out, remembering to call him by his mortal name.
—
A gentle breeze filled the inn and gave a light atmosphere for its customers.
“They had sent a letter,
Told us they had a fever
A new comrade made them a cure
Have them rested and made it sure
Challenges arises again
Soon they’ll meet Buer then.”
Venti gave him a deadpan look just for stirring the topic away from his love life.
Fine. He’ll let it pass for now and towards to the current situation of their mutual friend.
His expression soften while plucking the strings of his lyre once again.
—
-- bottle of wine and poured a cup for both of them. A nostalgic scent. Leave it up to Venti to bring the finest wine though he's not really a connoisseur of wine to make such judgements himself. Ever the humble consultant.
@VesselOfMorax “Oh right! How was your visit to Mondstadt last time?”
Venti was somewhere else during that visit and pouted when Diluc had mentioned the peculiar Liyuen visitor.
Venti clears his throat, strumming his lyrics to test the tunes before he dedicate this song to his bestest and longest friend @VesselOfMorax.
"Happy Birthday!
This song is for you! Or maybe your muse!
Ehe~"
