The misbehaving brat inside me wants to take control today, so imagine:
Venti's hat has gone missing! He can't find it anywhere...so was it stolen? Who could have stolen it? Was it...you, perhaps? His darling little vixen?
No wonder you had been gone for so long! You little minx...you knew exactly what you were doing. You didn't even bother to braid his hair that morning either. How dare you. Now that called for a bit of...punishment.
It doesn't take him very long to find you...well, at least a trace of you. This has you written all over it.
Now, you had originally planned to bedazzle Venti's hat yourself. However, you...yeah. you sucked. Fortunately, your dear friend Kaeya is a very skilled professional in the art of bedazzling things! So you hired him to do the dirty work, and then happily skipped off, knowing that your time was limited to enjoy your life before the inclement storm hits you and you specifically, in the form of a drunk bard.
When he sees the state his poor hat is in, he flips his lid internally. he is smiling, but inside, there is a storm brewing. It's huge, ugly, and quite terrifying. But it's all for you.
Meanwhile, while you are relaxing and reading a light novel on starsnatch cliff, an extremely abhorrent eye of the storm forms right in front of your very eyes. My Lord, it's one of the nastiest ones you've ever encountered in your life! It quite literally tosses you around like a ragdoll with it's terrifyingly strong wind currents. You were able to shoot a bow and swing a sword, but this...this was too much. By the grace of a god who clearly wasn't lord Barbatos, you manage to outrun the beastly thing, and your disheveled self eventually stumbles through the Mondstadt gates. The first person to greet you is, of course, Venti, with a smile plastered to his face. In one hand, he holds his poor hat. He's actually squeezing it harshly. in the other, he holds your hand. Well. Let's be real. He's squeezing it so hard that you're scared it will fall off. But...maybe it's in your best interests to keep your mouth shut?
"Ive been looking for you all day, my muse! Let's find a nice place to have a, a little chat, yeah!"
May an archon other than the anemo archon protect you.
