Who: Venti & Friends Which: Closed log with starters inside. Where: Reverein. What: A catch all log for things with Venti for the month of September. Warnings: Tba. Most likely alcohol use.
[ Itās the question that pulls Oriās lips into a frown, and that has her shrinking a little bit into herself like a flower wilting. ]
I donāt know. I did what I could. But when I look back on it now, I canāt help but feel like I failed. Like if I was stronger, or faster, or betterā¦ Things might have gone differently.
[ She sighs. ]
I know that itās not good to think that way. But itās hard not to, after everything.
[ Sheās surprised when Venti reaches up to adorn her hair with a flower, a gesture so kind and soft that sheās a bit blindsided by itā¦ Especially given that heād been teasing her just moments ago, too. ]
I knowā¦
[ She knows heās right. And surely, Diluc has reassured her of the same things, that her contributions were enough and that she did everything she could. But that she gets the same message from Venti now has her looking at him with an expression thatās both curious and surprised. Venti surprises her at times, and like when he visited after Thomaās departure, he offers her something wise and profound right when she needs it. ]
You always seem to know just what to say, Venti. Even though you like to say things to fluster me on purpose sometimes, youā¦ Youāre a kind, caring person. Thank you.

Even though our efforts might seem small it only takes a single butterfly's wing to create a whirlwind.

Well, I wouldn't be much of a bard if I couldn't find the right words to say. As the best bard in Teyvat I think it's only fair I do my best always.
[For all of the people of Mondstadt and for those that Mondstadters love as well.]
