"Watch this--!" whatever cool move he was going to whip out is immediately thrown to the wind by the jester slipping on some ice and absolutely eating shit on the cobble. Poor fucker.

Watch what, the fact that he was ALIVE- ah, no, the fact that he was an (said affectionately) idiot.

"Now, you did that to yourself, but I'll consider it payback for your little disappearing act!! C'mon, get up, give me a hug you little scoundrel-"

Oh, oh no. Freminet hadn't expected the performer to notice him- perhaps he should have, he knew his siblings were always taking in information about who was watching, but he thought it was just a them thing. A House of the Hearth thing.

Apparently not.

"U-um." Arms brought to his chest as he fiddled with his gloves. It probably would be rude to suddenly shove his helmet on, wouldn't it? And he'd left Pers behind today because he wasn't supposed to be gone long...

Oh, the other was speaking, wasn't he? Freminet only caught the tail end- of Snezhnaya? His Snezhnayain was rusty (speaking wise, at least. Reading it was fine), but thankfully he didn't have a problem understanding the somewhat thick accent.

"It, ah, it was good. That takes a lot of coordination..."

Someone save him.

jangles vigorously whilst whispering the most dreadful things in prayer to barbatos!

He can't even be upset- Venti knows he brought this on himself when admitting he can hear prayers.

It doesn't stop him from sighing and regretting it, though.

"What do you call the clown who went to jail? A sili-con! Ehehehe -- just kidding. You call them Giacomo. Help, please-"

That... that tracks, really. Honestly, Giacomo seemed to have a far worse time with the law then Venti- and that was saying something when he had thousands of years to wrack up his tally.

He was beginning to regret informing his friend that he was able to hear prayers sent to him, and that friend's voices stood out distinctly if he was only going to use it as a way to ask to be bailed.

One more drink. He could wait, just for that horrible pun.

@dikiyvter &&. said... "What do you call a drawing of a clown?" a pause -- and then Giacomo holds up his journal, opened to a page entirely taken up by a rough sketch of Wanderer... donning clown makeup with quite the frowny face. "A comedy sketch!"

is  this  a  joke  or  a  genuine  question?  the  wanderer  isn't  sure;  the  wording  implies  the  former  —  yet  the  pause  that  follows  leads  him  to  assume  it  must  surely  be  the  latter.  he  opens  his  mouth,  ❝  a  self  portrait  —  ?  ❞   ren  starts  to  say  —  only  to  be  greeted  by  an  ARTISTIC  RENDITION  of  his  own  scowling  visage.

❝  ...  ❞  in  all  fairness,  he  wasn't  entirely  wrong.

hand  raises;  he  points  an  accusing  finger  at  the  drawing.  ❝  don't tell me you're actually  trying  to  IMPLY  i  look  like  this?  ❞   the  wanderer  turns  to  giacomo,  wearing  an  expression  that  no  doubt  DEMANDS  to  be  taken  seriously  —  though  in  practice,  it  makes him look  eerily  reminiscent  of  the grimacing  doodle-ren  emblazoned  across  the  page.  incredible;  life  really  does  imitate  art.

@dikiyvter said: "Why was the clown sad?" pause for dramatic effect- "Because he broke his funny bone!" (( uh-- uh-- whichever Genshin muse you think would roll their eyes the hardest )) The Clown has jokes // ???

"....................." the silence was deafening.

"this is worse than cyno's jokes....."

@dikiyvter asked: Rigatello seemingly manifests from the shadows -- plopping their heavy coat on Fischl's shoulders without a word, like the fussy nanny-bot they apparently are. "... You will catch a cold," ( the rather long pause makes these words sound quite ominous for a moment ) "... if you were to get caught in... inclement weather like this. Does preparedness... mean little, to Mond citizens?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Achoo!

⠀⠀⠀⠀A frigid sneeze... Gosh, when did this cold roll in? Had winter come early? Ah, she really should have brought some kind of heavy coat...

"Ah-?"

⠀⠀⠀⠀Suddenly she finds herself with the desired and required heavy coat... Suffocating her! Where had this come fr-

⠀⠀⠀⠀Ah. Every bone in her body tenses at Rigatello's voice, and she turns toward Riga like a startled cartoon character. She's still not sure if he holds her crashing into him against her or not, but..!

"A-ahem, one's divine form grants her a certain resilience to thine worldly ailments! Ahem, n-not that thou ist troubled by such things...!"

@dikiyvter replied to your post:

augh! Gio is caught, caught by his cheek! Woe is he! "Noooo! Do the citizens of our dear continent have no sense of humor?" A wounded little look, all puppy-dog eyes, "I spent forever working on these jokes, positively forever! Though I suppose I must thank you anyhow, warning me of a jokes unpopularity…" a wink, "it's a kind jester!" and then he breaks into giggles again.

For the love of... Venti could not help the giggling, even though he shook his head. "Terrible! Awful!" He's pinching his cheek again, and then smushing both of them.

"How do you come up with these?! Honestly! Here I thought a bard such as myself could not be so caught off guard by wordplay, but alas!"
