[ Continued from here ]

No. The goal is to prevent you from falling asleep. I doubt a game of theatre mechanicus would assist with that.

I was thinking about getting some fresh air. For the both of us.

[whistlesthewind]

...you maaaay have to carry me yet again.

[leaveofabsence]

I was planning on it.

[ He gets up from his chair, holding both hands out to Venti, palms up ]

Would you do me the honor?

[whistlesthewind]

[HOLDS OUT HANDS as his reply]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He takes Venti's hands and lifts him up into his arms, carrying him as they head out of the teapot estate. ]

[whistlesthewind]

I could get use to this.

[leaveofabsence]

You could. And those is no reason that you shouldn't.

[ He says even as he sets Venti down on the stone fence around the manor once they are outside. ]

Stay there for a moment.

[whistlesthewind]

Well, it'd be too much effort to do otherwise.

[leaveofabsence]

A fair point.

[ And please give him a moment to step back and shift into his dragon form.

Much easier to go sight-seeing like this. ]

[whistlesthewind]

Oh, is this a special occasion?

[draggonnn!!! ♥]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He bows his head before Venti so he can climb on ]

Of course it is.

You are here, are you not?

[whistlesthewind]

[SHUFFLES ON WITH ENTHUSIASM]

Usually I do all my own flying!

[leaveofabsence]

[ He shifts his weight as he floats in midair, making sure that Venti is in no danger of toppling off ]

Correct.

I thought it might be a nice change of pace for you to be doing the sightseeing.

On the dotted line

[leaveofabsence]

[ Sometime after the Lantern Rite where Venti so graciously crashed Hu Tao's dinner party and the two Archons badly roleplayed a first meeting, Zhongli crashes Angel's Share in a similar manner. He shows up every day at dusk, ordering one tea extra strong and waits for one buffoon of a bard to show up.

It's only a matter of time. ]

Re: On the dotted line

[whistlesthewind]

[ruh roh why is he here

makes eye contact briefly and

OOP TIME TO MAKE MUSIC INSTEAD SURELY YOU UNDERSTAND and while he does that ok why would he be here. he doesn't do fun silly visits he has no humor. does he need something? wack.]

[leaveofabsence]

[ He does need something, yes he does. Or rather he needs someone.

If he gets too close to Zhongli's table, Zhongli's going to make a grab for him. ]

[whistlesthewind]

Wow...! Sir, at least buy me a drink first!

[leaveofabsence]

What is the correct phrase to use here--- ah, yes yes. Put it on my tab.

[whistlesthewind]

Fair enough! Drinks on you, stranger!

[leaveofabsence]

Stranger?

Why Master Venti -- did we not meet the other day during the Lantern Rite of Liyue? Surely, you remember.

[whistlesthewind]

[OH RIGHT OH RIGHT

anime head bonk tee hee]

Oh, right! We did have such a lovely meeting then! Have you become so fond that you came to find me again? I'm flattered!

[leaveofabsence]

I did, in fact. The presence of such a renowned bard in Mondstadt reminded me of a tale that I'd almost forgotten. One that still needs an ending penned.

[whistlesthewind]

Go on?

[leaveofabsence]

I mustn't be a rude guest.

[ Said after he had already grabbed Venti ]

Please.

[ He gestures to the chair ]

Have a seat first.

[whistlesthewind]

[plops down]

Make it worth my while, good sir. I'm working.
