@wendeiwisp
" Wuv you though~."
"Wuv you too...." He's still going to continue to pout though.
" Barbatos, Happy Birthday. " Dvalin rumbled a soft greeting, bringing up a small basket with a bottle of wine and a few apples inside. ( hope this is okay! :3c )
happy birthday !!
the god never expected anything for his birthday — it was just another day for him but a special one at that as it marked an important event in his life. he would celebrate it in his own way, visiting windrise to say ‘hello’ to his old friend vennessa and make his trek to old mondstadt to pay tribute to his beloved friend. that had been his tradition every year, and that was the most he would account for.
but it’d be a crime if he did not take into consideration his majestic companion who would always remember this special day, taking a stand beside the bard to offer him his own unique gift.
a soft, content sigh slipped from venti’s lips as he accepted the offering and, no matter how many times he would try not to tear up, water found its home within his ocean pools for the gesture was a very sentimental one. no tears would escape — at least not now — but the emotion was there, and he wanted to demonstrate it to dvalin just how much he appreciated him.
arms found their way around the other, pressing himself against the dragonian figure as he wanted nothing more than to hold his adopted son close. ❛ no amount of words known to mortals and immortals alike could help me express how grateful i am for your companionship. thank you so much for making every birthday such a special one. you truly are my most favorite gift of all. ❜
@wendeiwisp
Venti just zooms in ZhongLi's face and giving him a firm birthday spank. " HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOCKHEAD! Another layer to that boulder for brains~. " In his hands though is a properly wrapped gift. One would think just by the size it was osmanthus wine. Venti may have found a beautifully aged one.
@wendeiwisp | zhongli birthday extravaganza - accepting!
The slap did not hurt. The sound was loud (almost obnoxiously so; his constitution was firm, after all), and there was a mild sting, but he narrowed his eyes nonetheless. How childish.
The gift drew his attention though. Wine had been the basis for the first interaction they had ever exchanged, and though, at the time, he'd been incredulous that another one of the Seven (one he had not formally met) would descend simply to... toss wine at him. There was a measure of nostalgia in the gesture, and a sigh worked its way from the Consultant's lips.
"Thank you, Barbatos." He accepted the parcel, "Your gift is not unappreciated." There were few left in the world who recalled the taste of that particular brew, as many of those from their meetings of the past had met their end. "Would you care to share a glass with me, for old time's sake?"

hold hand u vu
“Always up for entertaining a cutie like you~”
Perhaps the little wisp purposely fluttered in the wanderer's face or maybe they just wanted to distract him enough to leave the gift upon his lap. Regardless of the reason there it was, a gift that was wrapped with careful hands tied together with a bow and Cecilia flower on top.
When opened inside there is a stuffed animal wisp that is pocket size ( totally a good luck charm! ). Next to it is a belt clip with a teal jewel attacked to it. It looks similar to his vision so perhaps its something to enhance his anemo powers? All around the box is wrapped treats and and the bottom is a carefully carved music box with a custom tune placed inside.
The Wanderer swats at the little pest flying in front of his face. Gross. He couldn't exactly make out its shape or size due to its proximity, but regardless, he didn't like little flying things blocking his view.
Upon feeling a foreign object touch his lap, he stops paying attention to the critter and instinctively catches the wrapped good before it can fall. Seriously? Whoever gave this to him couldn't have been normal and handed it to him like a normal being. Weren't the creatures of Teyvat supposed to be well-mannered? He rolls his eyes before peering curiously at the mysterious object. Judging by the attention to detail in the wrapping, the person obviously knew what was nice versus what was unappealing. Certainly, they understood Teyvat's cultural norms.
Still a bit suspicious of the contents in the mysterious box, he removes the ribbon and opens the box slowly, unsure of what to expect. Deeming it safe enough to open, he pulls out the contents one-by-one, the gift catching his eye the most: the stuffed animal. He would never willingly admit it to another person, but he was quite fond of cute things.
“You’re coming home with me,” he says, giving the toy a nice and tight squeeze. The cuteness aggression was real. He ignored the teal charm and music box for this cute little thing.
imagine being nice to venti... couldn’t be him. he would rather work in a minimum wage customer service job working under his creator than show kindness or manners to venti.

@wendeiwisp &&. said... you don't have to tell me, if you don't want to.
the wanderer is tragically more expressive than he truly wants to be. though he has NO HEART to wear upon his sleeve, his moods are as noticeable as the weather. misery seems to hang about him like a dark cloud — blotting out the sun, wreathing him in a layer of thick shadow. the bard's voice calls out from behind him, and ren gives no visible indication to acknowledge the offer. ( though it's obvious that he hears him nevertheless. ) he merely stares out over the buildings of mondstadt from the rooftop he's perched upon — no rhyme or reason to his presence there beyond the WHIMS that all too often guide his wanderings. if there is a subconscious explanation why his steps have brought him to the city of freedom, he chooses not to acknowledge it. probably not for the WINE, no matter what the case may be.
a quiet sigh suddenly breaks the silence that has settled over them in the wake of venti's words. there are few gods in this world he does not view with suspicion and contempt alike — and if nothing else, he has proven himself WORTHY of being among them. he cares for those ren holds most precious in this world, after all. there is no faster way to gain his RESPECT.
❝ ... ❞ although, it is perhaps for that very reason why he may actually be able to UNDERSTAND what eats away at him. long lived beings such as themselves are no strangers to suffering; it is a natural consequence of existing in this world — and existing for even longer than the norm merely opens one up to additional PAIN. ❝ i'm not upset. ❞ ren finally says. it both is and isn't the truth. it takes but a glance to see that something troubles him, yet as far as the REASON is concerned ... ❝ i'm actually pretty happy. ❞ and he is. the past year has been filled with BLESSINGS — more than the wanderer is accustomed to. he has a family. he has a fiancé. friends who have ( for some reason beyond his comprehension ) diligently stuck by him — despite ren's best efforts to push them away at every turn. he even has a purpose to keep himself occupied — the missing piece he has HUNGERED endlessly for, since the very moment he was able to comprehend his own agonizing lack of one.
❝ ... despite how that may sound, it's not a good thing. ❞ he pulls one knee to his chest, resting his chin upon it — as if trying to huddle his entire body beneath his kasa. ❝ i know how this ends. it isn't exactly pleasant. ❞ death. betrayal. the taste of ash coating the back of his throat. he has so many PRECIOUS THINGS now and that is absolutely terrifying. ❝ i can't exactly enjoy the moment when i'm bracing for some inevitable tragedy that's bound to rear its ugly head sooner or later. ❞ the only real question is what FORM it will take.
