[Aether pulls out his magi-comm, preparing to send a message, but--]

Wait, what was Venti's number again? Did I ever ask for it...?

[Hear his plea, o anemo archon, as he sits in a park somewhere in Little Edo.]

[notgrande]

[ Aether's going to feel the smallest breeze for a brief moment before Venti appears at the bench next to him. He smiles brightly at the young man. ]

Aether, you called?

[brilliantdiamond]

[JUMPS]

[brilliantdiamond]

[Just. Looks from his magi-comm to Venti, before tucking it into his pocket.]

Well, I guess that saves me having to ask for your number... are you always listening for your name, or were you just in the area?

[notgrande]

My name simply reaches me in the wind.

[ He's being a poetic little jerk about it. ]

And since you were trying to find me, I'm here. I'll give you my number, so no more surprises.

What do you need? Or did you just miss my face?

[ A giggle. ]

Sometime towards the end of October

[icepatch]

[Pretend it’s a series of texts.]

I met Xiao.

He’s adorable.

I can see why you love him. Although you really shouldn’t badger him to get you umeshu. Just text myself or Diluc since we’re already at the bar.

Speaking of Diluc…

And boyfriends.

Venti.

I think I like my brother?

Help.

[notgrande]

I didn't badger exactly. Just asked. Using the power of my adorable face. He's really the best, though. I love him.

Kaeya, you're supposed to like your brother. What's the problem here?

[ is he being intentionally thick? yes. ]

[icepatch]

You know exactly what I mean, Venti!

[notgrande]

Please elaborate, Kaeya. I fail to see a problem here.

audio; late October

[vennessa]

[The message is slightly abrupt, late at night while Vennessa is unable to sleep. Though she had eventually moved herself out of the marshland and into a far more hospitable hotel room she finds the beds to be too soft.

So she thinks instead and lands on something that has been... vexing her.]

Venti, why do you keep checking up on me?

[She sounds a little tired, but mostly curious about this sudden revelation. Venti has been checking in with her a lot and she has the feeling that most of the time it's... just to make sure she's still there.]

I'm not going anywhere.

[notgrande]

Well --

[ For a moment he thinks it might be hard to explain, but the reality is that it's very simple. ]

I've lost you once before, Vennessa. And I know...this place can take as quickly as it gives. And sometimes I just don't believe that you're really here to stay.

[vennessa]

You lost me?

[Well, she supposes that she died... but surely Venti knows that mortals die. It's just a sad truth of their existence.]

... Are you busy?

[phoenixblessed]

It's Kaeya's birthday next week.

Would you and Xiao like to come to our house for the evening? I think he'd enjoy it.

[notgrande]

Oh! Yes, we'd love to go. Do you want us to bring anything?

[phoenixblessed]

You don't have to, but I won't object if you want to bring something.

Sometime January idk

[icepatch]

I might be a little drunk right now but please note, I love you. And I appreciate you. And still a bit surprised that we didn't loop.

[He doesn't always have much fait in humanity for Reasons.]

1/2

[notgrande]

I love you, too.

[notgrande]

You're adorable, by the way. I'm glad it didn't reset. I like the way things are now with you. With everyone.

Is there a reason for this, or am I just special today?

[icepatch]

You're special. I don't exactly have many who I'm close enough to to warrant this, after all. But there's also liquid courage involved.

text; un: ragnvindr | mid-may

[phoenixblessed]

Are you busy tonight?

[notgrande]

I'm honored you're asking. I'm not busy at all.

I assume that means you have an evening off?

[phoenixblessed]

I do, and I'd like to take you out.

u no wen

[icepatch]

[It hadn't been very long when Kaeya had seen Chuuya off, but he hadn't headed home right away. He needed a little time before doing so because he likely would need to have a conversation with Diluc and he wasn't exactly mentally prepared for it right now.

And it wasn't because he was scared of Diluc getting angry or anything of the sort, not anymore. It was just a tough subject and things felt a little too raw right now. But he also didn't want to be alone right now.]

I have some apple cider and a very close recreation of mint jelly with your name on it. Meet me at the park?

[notgrande]

I can be there in five minutes, Kaeya.

[ He doesn't know what's up, nor does he ask if there's a reason. He's just happy to see Kaeya and he's also delighted for the treats. So when he says five minutes - it's really more like 2 or 3, since he can teleport. ]

[icepatch]

[Venti would find Kaeya fairly deep into the park, laying down with his arm pillow his head as he watched the sky slowly heading toward sunset. There were two portable cups of apple cider (the boozy kind, of course) along with the box of treats. There was actually a bit more than what he had said but he hadn't wanted to spend time writing it all out.

He turned his head when he heard Venti teleport in and he smiled softly.]

Hey.
