  What does freedom really mean, when demanded of you by a god? (Venti Indie RP Blog)

In truth, the broccoli might be better for you than simply flowers. A cruciferous vegetable, broccoli is low in calories and contains a wealth of nutrients and antioxidants that support many aspects of mortal health. As an individual such as yourself chooses to consume many calories in the form of... ahem, drink - the humble broccoli will prove immune support.

“All I got from this talk, is that you wanted to feed me something, so I can drink more! It’s alright, Morax! Come, join me! Let’s have this fine broccoli to even finer wine!” Was he already a little tipsy? Oh, definitely. In an excited way he patted the seat beside him. “Ehe... by the way, do we need to cook that first? I never prepared any broccoli dish before...”

ITALIC FOR THINGS THAT SOMETIMES APPLY BOLD FOR THINGS THAT ALWAYS APPLY.

𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀.     giant featherbeds.   tightening a corset.   moonlit walks.   killing for love.   cruelty for the sake of love.   love is always selfish.   romantic tragedy.   love to the brink of destruction.   nighttime rendezvous.   bloody kisses on soft skin.   death was the maiden.   a very strange agony.   claimed by the supernatural.   dreaming about your lover.   sympathy for the devil.   loving me to death.   candlesticks lighting up the palm of your hand.   a passion that wearies you.   killing the one you love.

𝐏𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐎𝐌 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐀.     a single red rose laid out to be found.   sensual voices singing them to sleep.   a familiar shadow attending every recital.   love waits on the rooftop in the night.   two soulmates holding hands.   walking down long corridors.   retrieving something lost.   devoting one’s craft to them.   making them your muse.   the horror was for love.   painted faces on parade.   gentle touches in the dark.   revealing your darkest secrets.   beauty and the beast.   writing messages on the mirror.   kindness conquers all.   letting your lover go.   love never dies.

𝐉𝐀𝐍𝐄 𝐄𝐘𝐑𝐄.     loving the escape.   an impassioned affair.   being consumed by love.   meeting your soulmate.   lace and silk.   thirsting for the perfect romance.   marrying for passion.   losing yourself in the face of your lover.   wedding veils and bouquets of pink roses.   maddened by love.   finding warmth in the cold.   calling out for your love.   starting at the bottom.   the fire cleanses all.   hiding your passion.   your love will destroy me / my love will destroy you.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐃𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐘.     painting a portrait or sketching the face of someone you love.   meeting in secret.   visions of your lover dying.   clutching a lovers clothes to your chest.   love so consuming you kill them.   protecting their innocence at all costs.   betrayal.   polyamory.   devotion.   flowers for the one you love.   remembering the name of your first love.   jealousy when you see them with someone else.   love so consuming you die for it.   visiting the the place where you saw them the first time.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎.     letters to your lover.   marrying for love.   these bars can’t keep me from you.   motivated by love.   an avenging angel.   scorching jealousy.   love reborn.   devoted to memory.   it was all for you.   going your separate ways.   commit murder for me.   an unstoppable hunger.   death comes for us all.   the strongest love eventually grows apart.

𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀.    the holiest love.   girls love wolves.   the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.   violence is passion.   red lips, sharp teeth.   love letters in a diary.   unrelenting support.   getting lost in the woods.   coming home to you.   walking backwards into hell.   vengeance for my love.   even death won’t stop me.   we can live forever.   love is an open wound.   too much love to give.   bestowing your favor.   a never-ending thirst.   beauty even in death.   ravenous desire.   if only death had a heart to give.   a mercy killing.   these violent delights have violent ends.  

𝐅𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐈𝐍.     childhood friends to lovers.   they were something out of a dream.   arranged marriages.   learning to love.  was it all really worth it?   our guilt can know no bounds.   vengeance, my love.   my beating heart in your open palm.   your death destroys me.   adam and eve.   crossing the mountains.   an antagonist in mourning.   paradise lost.   the loss of innocence.   abandoning your dream.   the tempest on the horizon.   humans are the real monsters.   my love is wiser than my hate.

tiandong​:

Long sighs were common in the company of Barbatos… and today would certainly reinforce that claim. A sigh at least meant that he could hold his tongue at all of the anemo archon’s provocations, but getting in at least one last word was something he could allow himself. 

“Your childish provocations are simply that – childish. I will not honor them with a response that you seem to be seeking.” As vast and wide as the world surely was after all the years that he had spent here in Liyue, the thought of potentially leaving this area of Teyvat to journey around and see sights was never one that really crossed Zhongli’s mind. His travels before in the past always had an aim: to visit Inazuma to see the coronation of the new Electro Archon, to pursue knowledge gleaned from scholars of Sumeru, to aid Fontaine’s newspaper in networking with writers from Liyue; idle travel was always part of the goal but never the primary focus. Guizhong’s love of humanity made her curious and while he hadn’t begun his long life as one who had much curiosity about humans, her influence had changed the way he viewed humanity many years ago. Yet it was this same curiosity and desire to protect humanity that would give Zhongli his ultimate answer. A different type of sigh left his mouth this time. 

“…I regret to say that I cannot go with you for such an extended period of time.” He paused - although he trusted that Barbatos already knew that the fault did not lie within the anemo archon himself but rather the contract he made with himself to watch the rise and fall of the region with his own eyes, leaving that statement vague bothered Zhongli a little. “If you can decide upon a set time for this… journey, considerations can be taken. It has been quite some time since we have been in each other’s presence beyond mere moments, after all.” 

“Hmm...?” After the anemo archon made that sound, he stayed silent for a little longer. That was kind of the answer he expected... No, wait. If he was completely honest, he is a little surprised that Morax did seem almost sad about having to mildly reject him. 

But- truth was- this was more than Venti ever expected. Since ever he was nothing but a little wisp, it was one of his biggest dreams to go travel the world. Well, of course at first he dreamed of going on that adventure with his dear old friend... but even after his passing, his curiosity about the world and skies, never fully faded away.

Of course, becoming an archon, did put those plans on pause... And while he still felt responsible for Mondstadt, just like his old friend did for Liyue, the wish of taking a break and follow that dream was still very present.

But now it seemed like he wouldn’t have to do that journey alone after all. Even if it was only for a time limited trip, Morax really agreed just now, right? Alone while realizing that, Venti couldn’t help but genuinely smile at his taller friend.

“Haha, I already expected that you would want to stick to a schedule, you blockhead! But you know what? That’s fine with me! What did you have in mind? How does a month sound? Sounds like a good start, right? I think if we take breaks between trips, we still would make it to see the whole world together.” 

“Time never was a problem for us before after all, right Morax? So, I’ll wait for you~!”

≻ @mondsdichter​ liked for a starter.

　“I’ve heard wonders of Mondstadt’s wine and song, but I’ve never truly gotten to experience it myself yet.” He mentioned all too casually upon his approach, making sure his voice was loud enough to be heard, but not enough for the whole tavern to heed him. His interest was placed in this peculiarly looking bard.

　“—Even less have I met a Mondstadt bard in person. So, may I humbly request for a little tour on the local customs? Wouldn’t think anyone would be better fit for the task!”

　…He’d heard the rumors from his comrades, of course; about the Anemo archon disguising himself as a peculiar bard among the city locals. He was hoping his rather perceptive eye hadn’t caught the wrong fish this time.

[mondsdichter]

“If it’s a song and some good drink you seek, you came to the right bard, mister!” Even though he was already a little tipsy from all those previous drinks, Venti still was an old wise archon, even while being slightly drunk. That man was suspicious indeed. And wasn’t he fatui too? He probably did look for something other than just a simple guide through Mondstadt.

However, whatever that young man was after, he was willing to play along and find out what he was truly after. “Charles, get this young man a glass of your oldest dandelion wine!” 

He then faced the redhead and patted the seat next to him. “Come on, friend! Sit down, there’s no better way to start the tour other than with a drink!” Wait, did he even have the mora on him to invite someone to a drink? Oh, whatever. It will be fine, maybe he could pay with one of his famous performances later!

“The name’s Venti, by the way! One of the most popular bards in all of Mondstadt!”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZHONGLI!!

[mondsdichter]

tiandong​:

He frowned slightly at that. Mora was never anything that remained in the forefront of his mind – after all, was there a need to worry about money when creating more was just as easy as breathing? However the common folk seemed to constantly worry about acquiring and owning the aforementioned mora. His short bout of practice during the period between the failed Rite of Descension and his so called final rest really was not adequate to say the least. Perhaps he should have thought that aspect through a little more… “Indeed, I did not fully consider how losing that ability would hinder my ease of life at the moment. However, I believe that I have found a workaround system.” Billing everything to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor wasn’t exactly a viable option all the time though - another solution would have to be found at a later date. 

Crossing his arms, he began to lead the other over towards Bubu Pharmacy. “Mr. Baizhu had requested some particularly potent Qingxin for the recent uptick in allergy related sore throats. While our little friend Qiqi is a master of finding most herbs and medicinal plants, the ability to discern the quality of the herb is unfortunately out of her purview of wisdom. Director Hu Tao had sent me over to the pharmacy to purchase some glaze lilies and I happened to overhear this conversation. Lending my assistance was but a small favor, however she insisted that I demand either a favor or mora from him at a later date.” If things were to go Barbatos’s way though, there wouldn’t be enough wine in Liyue for his endless stomach. Perhaps cutting him off like this was truly the wiser decision - though the mora might help with the food. Thinking about all these issues truly was part of being mortal, was it not? 

“But of course. You are a guest, it would not do for even someone such as yourself to not be treated.” Wanmin Restaurant didn’t really have much in terms of tables, although the food was delicious. The waitlist for Liuli Pavilion might be difficult to circumvent at such short notice, though it was a shame that they could not enjoy the design of the interior. Xinyue Kiosk… might be enjoyable for Barbatos, but even wine might not be enough to weather down his own aversion to seafood - not to mention the same issue with reservations. Third-Round Knockout would certainly allow Barbatos to enjoy the city at night and while Zhongli wasn’t exactly delighted with the option to purchase more alcohol, the osmanthus wine there was rather delicious as well. 

“There is no point to enjoying osmanthus wine without proper accompaniment.” He scolded before pausing. Barbatos saying that he would come visit again… somehow made him feel both nostalgic and fond. Taking a moment to clear his throat, his eyes narrowed a bit at the mention of a moonpie. “I trust that you are not the one who will be baking this aforementioned moonpie, correct? And…” He paused again. “You do not need to be the one to consistently make their way over. It has been a while since I have set foot in Mondstadt, a visit does not seem… unpleasant.” 

The bard could just sigh! Usually he was the careless one out of those two, but he was pretty sure he wouldn’t have forgotten to put mora to the side, before deciding to give the power to create it up forever. Not that he desired to be rich, no, he was more than okay with his current life style. But when he was thinking of all the expensive wines he could buy and try... it did hurt a little to think about.

“So, what you’re saying is, that your workaround system is; hoping that people owe you, or just, pay you out of goodwill?” It sounded a little judgmental at first, until he noticed, that this was pretty much how he goes by too, whenever he’s out of mora that he earned from his performances. 

“But you know what, seeing you like that... It actually makes me a little proud! Yeah, you’re living more freely and spontaneous now! That’s actually very mond-like of you!”

“Ah, I see! So you’re missing Mondstadt? You’re of course always welcome! But also, you don’t have to be so shy! If you want me to bake for you, I could! I made a delicious apple pie for the traveler before, you know?” It looked terrible, but he wouldn’t mentioned that! Baking was hard, and he wasn’t really used to cooking, most of the time he just lived from apples himself... But it would be fun to try again! 

Then again, wasn’t the other a super picky eater? “Just so you know, when I already go through the trouble to make something for you, it would be just rude to criticize it! You better eat it all up, like a good boy would when the day comes, okay?”

Even though it was a steep way up to Bubu Pharmacy, all the talking made it feel like a short way. But anyway, they were here now to pick up the mora... or wine? The Mora would probably be smarter if they wanted to get some food to the drink, but it’s not like he could take the decisions from Morax.

“So? Will you get some tasty wine from the good old doc, or are we soon about to be rich and get wasted like in the old days?” With wasted, he was mostly talking about himself, since his friend here had a rather hard time getting drunk. no matter how much alcohol he was consuming...

[mondsdichter]

tiandong​:

For all of the silliness that Barbatos liked to treat affairs, Zhongli was more than aware of how truly wise and perceptive the other archon could be. Mondstadt was the land of freedom, yet freedom was unfortunately never a guaranteed promise for people without some degree of work. While certainly not being as hands on as Zhongli was, Barbatos had done his own degree of work in order to ensure that the people of Mondstadt lived a carefree life if they so chose. In particular though, he found himself admiring just how in tune the other could be to the feelings of his people and others. Being the senior archon did carry a bit of weight though, especially when it was only the two of them left behind after millennia. 

“You speak of my experience, however would you not agree that our experiences as archons in our respective cities are rather different? I never received the notion from you that you were doubting my judgement - it is the truth that nothing in life is a guarantee, even with various factors. Tell me, do you sense any ill intent from this Albedo? I trust that if you were feeling an extreme ill will from this individual that you would have sooner taken action, much like the recent incident with your former dragon of the east.” 

And all of that lingering admiration for Barbatos was swiftly wiped clean from Zhongli’s thoughts with the mention of the famed dandelion wine of Mondstadt. Really, to bring such a thing up in the middle of this discussion… he sighed and shook his head disapprovingly. “Must you return the conversation to your single minded focus on spirits? The city might sooner fall from your dependancy on the beverage rather than any other outside force.” It went unsaid, but his offer to Barbatos all those years ago still extended to the present. If the archon were to ask for his help, he would offer it without question. 

“If your great thoughts are once again related to wine, I will have to pass.” Even with that comment though, he was curious to see just what Barbatos was thinking - something obvious to the other when he was the one who posed the question in the first place. 

A… journey though? 

Even before thinking about what lands to visit, his duties always came to mind first. But, there were no fortunes to prepare for the rite of descension next year, no grand plans for the future of Liyue’s harbor or transport system. Qixing had already effectively taken over as a governing body and the adepti seemed content to remain outside of the harbor and remain in their respective resting places. There were always his duties to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, but he was certain that the mention of a journey to the ever enigmatic Hu Tao would only earn an ushering forth from the young director – probably along with a line to grab some wooden tablets to hand out and expand the business of funeral rites across Teyvat. 

Barbatos wanting to go on a free for all journey through all of Teyvat was unsurprising - the wind blew whichever way it wanted to all the time and Barbatos was nothing but the personification of free spirit. “Speaking in hypothetical terms, do you have any idea of how… long this journey might be?” Even when he was asking, he had a feeling that he already knew what the answer was going to be. 

Sometimes the anemo archon forgot, that the geo archon did respect him as an equal. While they truly almost couldn’t be more different in their ways of ‘ruling and protecting’, there still always was always mutual respect between them. And somehow it was really nice to hear that from morax himself. 

Not that he mistrusts his own judgement, no, Venti was rather proud of Mondstadt and how most things usually turn out for the city and him. But it still gave some sense of approval! Looking back, Mondstadt and Liyue always had each others back, as did they as the archons of those cities... And that wouldn’t change, even after retirement! 

“Ehe...? Does that mean you trust my decisions? Aww, how unexpected, that’s so sweet of you, Morax!” Teasing the old man wouldn’t hurt though, right? That was always fun! 

And even if Zhongli did take his words almost back with what he said right after, Venti knew that his former opinion was what the dishonest blockhead was truly thinking! He knew him way too long to be fooled by their usual banter.

“What do you mean how long it would be? Why does that even matter? Aren’t you retired? It takes the whole fun out of it, if we’d make up a date of return, wouldn’t it? As I said before, I was thinking of traveling around, free like the wind! Could be weeks, months, or who knows, even years! Can you imagine how long it’ll take to see how everything has changed since the last time we’ve traveled around? So much time has passed since then! So what’s stopping us?”

“...Or is the big Morax too scared to leave his beloved Liyue Harbor for a longer period of time? Man, you’re really behaving like an old man right now!” 

[mondsdichter]

tiandong​:

Was it possible for his frown to get even deeper than before? Apparently so, when the oh so beloved wind archon opened his mouth to talk even more about wine than before. Granted, Zhongli had to admit that he had opened himself to this conversation by responding to Venti’s provocation regarding his choice of wine… and the fact that he did indeed have a difficult time choosing only one wine, but there really was no stopping the other archon when it came to liquor, was there? He gave a shake of his head – Barbatos had been the one to come all the way to Liyue all those centuries ago with nothing but a lyre and a full jug of preserved wine, after all. Funny how centuries later, some things never changed. 

“I do believe there is a debt another has to repay me for at the pharmacy. Perhaps he may be relieved to hear that some wine might make a proper substitute for the mora.” Even though the mora would probably be worth more than the actual wine, mora really had very little value to Zhongli. Strange, maybe there was something wrong with that thought but he couldn’t really recall what…

Sighing again, he regarded where that bottle of dandelion wine must be – tucked away in one of Venti’s pockets and ready for retrieval undoubtedly. “Have you learned nothing from our conversation earlier? Your dandelion wine will fare well without accompaniment, however if you intended to properly enjoy the taste of osmanthus wine, a meal is in order. Do you not recall the dishes eaten at previous gatherings?” Briefly, the memory of being seated around a table with dishes on hand gathered in his mind. Times had changed and individuals had come and gone, yet Barbatos was still here. 

“Come then.” He spoke, voice softer for just a mere moment. “You have come all this way; a proper reception should be given, even if your reasons were not the most appropriate.” 

“Oh true, man... I’m still not used to you having to depend on people owing you, now that you’re not loaded anymore. Remember the old days when you could just create as much Mora as you pleased? Hah... Those were the good old times, huh?”

Even though he said that, he didn’t really mind to stroll around Liyue in order to collect the wine Morax mentioned. “Are you sure though, that you want to ask for just a bottle of wine? What are they owing you anyway? If you could get Mora back from it, we could maybe get even more wine than just a simple bottle! You know... for more... accurate comparison and wine tasting, yeah!” The more wine the merrier. 

Oh, was Morax about to treat him to a proper meal now? Thinking about it now... it had been a while since he consumed anything proper, he mostly drank wine and ate apples while taking a nap on trees... Perhaps it wasn’t the worst idea. And also, the Liyue cuisine was rather delicious too!

“Ehe! Will it be your treat then, Morax? That’s so nice of you, thanks! I mean, I would have been okay with just the wine too, but I won’t say no to that kind offer! I did kind of miss eating those cute looking jade parcels! Hmm... maybe next time I visit, I can bring you a moonpie as well! I’m sure you didn’t have one of those in forever!”

[mondsdichter]

tiandong​:

“The other thing?” Surely there wasn’t some kind of underhanded measure of Albedo’s goal that he had missed in the mean time, was there? Venti had a way of figuring out things about others and himself that could even slip through Zhongli’s careful watch sometimes – a little unexpected at first, but the other archon took his duties seriously when the time was right. As Zhongli had said to a certain traveler before, Venti’s philosophies were different but not bad. What else was life aside from a collection of different ideologies and experiences?  

“Ah, I see.” So Venti was talking about the connection between the alchemist and Durin. True, the original nature of Albedo’s power was harnessed from a terrible source – one that continued to lay waste to certain areas of Mondstadt’s landscape. “Have you heard the saying that the beginning of a journey is no indication of the end? Whether they be adeptus or mortal, there are always certain circumstances that one cannot choose prior to engaging in the path that is referred to as life. Challenges and other obstacles may arise from these aforementioned circumstances, however to simplify the possible outcomes only based on beginnings is rather foolish, do you not think? You were born as a simple wind spirit, yet here you stand before me as an archon of certain power. Your path is one that you create for yourself. I simply believe that your alchemist will do all in his power to not allow his predetermined origins decide his ultimate fate.” 

He sighed a little at mention of the recent Osial incident. While it was true that he had faith in the leaders currently in power in Liyue, guarding over a place for so long always left some lingering attachments and doubts. “Your people have long learned how to self govern in your supposed absence. I do trust that the Qixing will take the appropriate measures in the upcoming future. In that same vein, you would understand the sentiment that stepping in when necessary is always an option, correct?” There were times that he wondered if bargaining away his gnosis was such a wise idea. 

“Old friend,” He started, grimacing slightly. “Do you believe there is a retirement for the two of us? I fear that it can be difficult to change one’s nature even after the relief of a burden.” 

As usual, Morax had a lot to say, but truth to be told... Venti didn’t really mind it. It was kind of nostalgic even, how long has it been since they discussed things together. Since ever they did reunite the first time after his sudden disappearance, Barbatos did already visit him a few times, but all in all, it still felt like they had so much to catch up on.

And now that his old friend was finally retired, there was no better chance then now, to spend as much time together as he pleased, right?

“Ehehe... So you’re saying you put your trust into him... I guess that makes sense, since you did chose him after all. You see, it wasn’t like I mistrust your judgement, you are even more experienced in being an archon than me after all. Since you’re super duper old! It’s just that... if I could avoid it, I’d rather not rebuild a new Mondstadt once again from scratch, you know?” Though the hard work hardly would be done by him anyway.

Wait, didn’t this almost sound too serious for him? Gotta loose the tension already here. “I mean... where else should I get my delicious dandelion wine from if it’s all in shambles? Then again, I’m sure even if it comes worst to worst, we’ll always figure something out!”

Interesting, so Rex Lapis in some way didn’t fully retired after all, huh. After all, him mentioning ‘stepping in’ still being an option, just told the wind archon how not fully relaxed his old companion was still

“Sure, I agree. We can step in if things get really bad, I mean, we both still care about our people, right? Buut, I think it totally is possible for us both to retire. Hmm... let’s see! I just thought of something great!”

“Since you gave such a touching speech just now, about how you put trust in your people, as do I in the people in Mondstadt, what do you think of... going on a journey together? Just imagine, going wherever the wind takes us! Exploring things even we’re unfamiliar with! It’ll help you to feel like an old retired gramps for real! And before you say no, just imagine how much things you’d see and learn, you could become an even bigger know-it-all than you are now!”

[mondsdichter]

@tiandong​ continuation from here

Was he for real? How was it even possible to talk so much and still not have a single answer in all of that pile of words? Though, he knew Morax already way too long to be surprised by this. It still was a little annoying sometimes though.

“Uh-huh, aaand? Didn’t you forget something? Like, I don’t know... Answering my question?” But it wasn’t like the relaxed anemo archon to be upset for long, so he just proceeded naturally in making fun of his probably closest friend.

“Ah, say no more. I know already, it’s your way of saying that you can’t decide! I don’t blame you, both are fantastic choices after all. But if you have such a hard time deciding, how about we get bottles of both right now and taste test them together?” This totally wasn’t an excuse to get wasted in the early afternoon, no way! “Actually, I have a bottle of dandelion wine with me, so if you could get us some osmanthus wine, we’ll be all set too!”

“Also. don’t worry about the company, I mean, wasn’t I always your most favorite drink companion anyway, Morax?~”

[mondsdichter]

@tiandong​ continuation from here 

As a fellow Archon, Venti did already know that Morax most likely had his own good reasons for blessing the young chief alchemist with his geo powers. And even Venti knew, that the young man seemed to be aiming for great heights, be it regarding alchemy knowledge, or even going as far as wanting to reveal the ‘truth of this world’. Just alone from repeating these goals in his mind, it did sound like something his old friend would approve of with a proud and satisfied smile on his face.

However, Venti questioned himself if his fellow friend was even aware of the boy’s nature as well? Being made with the old alchemy of Khaenri'ah...related to a dragon and place that was linked with not so... fond memories for the anemo archon himself.

“Hm... his goals surely don’t. You’re right about that, but hold on... I’m pretty sure you must have noticed the other thing about him as well.”

Still, of course Venti did hold no grudge. It was just something he was wondering about for a while now. “ I mean, you do know that boy’s origin, don’t you? But... Let me guess, you trust that nothing of that like will happen, huh? ” Wasn’t it kind of similar like he trusted the people of Mondstadt as well though? Maybe he did slowly start to understand. 

“ But you know what, actually, never mind! What goes on within Mondstadt's walls is up to Mondstadt's people to deal with! Since you’re retired as well now, and remembering the recent Osial incident... you surely know what I’m talking about, right old friend?“

[mondsdichter]

Ehe!

You feeling like talking to the 2nd oldest (and also the weakest) archon? Do you wanna be dragged to Angel’s Share and pay for this old man’s wine?  Wanna hear some rhymes, that once you figured out the meaning of, you’ll cry for 4 weeks? 

Do you like...wind or apples? (Or maybe some good cider?)

Or do you just wanna chill with probably the most lazy and laid back god known to history?

Venti’s your man/archon/god then!
