[ what else is he supposed to do in his retirement? while he's been attending various artistic performances in Liyue, he figures that he should extend his curiosities past his own nation. wasn't Barbatos the one who came to see him first? he can return the favor. ]
Very well.
Perhaps wallowing despair would be better dealt with good company, rather than just good drink.
[ he sees you there, friendo. ]
Since my duties have been relieved, I'll come see what's become of Mondstadt lately. It has been quite a while since you've last awoken, hasn't it? Certainly there have things that have changed, even for you.
[ Mondstadt was quite a good nation to choose for exploration. Rolling hills, fine wineries, and the freedom to make your own story. Venti's played the part well enough to see the best and worst of his nation, but... he holds it with such esteem. Proud of the freedoms, proud of a wind that carries itself so freely across the land. ]
Aha! You know it! There's always the chance that the bottom of my glass would hold fond memories instead of stinging regret. Besides, you must hear the latest ballads of a certain Traveler next time.
[ Which he hopes is sooner rather than later. ]
It has... sometimes I walk the streets expecting to see a certain vendor or wave at a sister of the church and – ah, they've moved on.
[ Downer alert. It's a brief glimpse of the weight Venti holds close to his heart, pinned by the pierce of arrows as much as his formsake was. ]
It is exciting to see something new, however.
[ It's the only way he can be this... well, flighty? What a viewpoint. ]
( i can move this to an overflow if you'd like! or we can let it fizzle. no worries! )
As long as the bottom of the glass doesn't turn over the top of my head. I know you have a penchant for certain pranks when you reach twenty or thirty cups. I trust that hasn't changed while you were sleeping.
[ never forget, Venti. he's never gonna let you live that one down. ]
You can serenade me during a city tour. Surely your ballads of a certain traveler's great deeds – but also of the restlessness of the nations. Your timing has always been a little questionable, Barbatos, but not unwelcome.
[ could he be a little hurt that Barbatos gallivanted off into a big nap and left him somewhat lonely for the last 500 years post large, traumatic event? possibly, but as Zhongli does, he takes everything with a certain stride when it comes to his personal duties. ]
