The only protest Alice is receiving is a huff and an immediate, petulant, poke right back at her. But he's smiling- eyes narrowed in mirth, pleasantly surprused to see her.
"Wouldn't you like to know! Are you trying to steal a sip from me? Is that why you're here?"

"Personal stash, huh? You suuuure he won't kill us later for this? I think I'm still a little too young to die, Kaeya...."
He's being a littke dramatic. Also, don't call him out for his age— Let him be funny.

" No occasion. I just figured you'd appreciate a sip from Master Diluc's personal stash, heh. "
Yes, Diluc would hunt him down for this. There was no doubt.

At first, he didn't catch who was talking to him. Glancing around in before turning completely, brightening up at seeing Kaeya then even more at the wine bottle he was holdinh- the smile he had growing mischievous.
"Ooooh ho~ What's the occasion, huh? Or just wanting to treat your favorite bard?"

He's not planning anything! He's not— Venti's just amused about that little tangent to the 'God of Freedom' and all that. Not every day that happens.
"Nah, just that whole thing about freedom~ Buuuut, I'm still curious on who this mystery person is of yours...."

about 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 ? falling with an 𝘶𝘯𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 ?

He's holding up a bottle of Dandelion wine. Clearly taken from Diluc's stash. Archons save them, if Diluc finds out.

While the bard may or may not have a drink or two (or several) in him already, he was clear headed enough to know what he'd done. It only made the affection he was willing to show to close friends and loved ones much easier to divulge in, grinning as he had made his way swiftly from the church's +

𝑯𝑨𝑯𝑨 ! yeah , thanks to all that helped the knights findin' 'em , the expedition wouldn't be a success !

What a morbid thing to say. But then again, time isn't something that Varka has in abundance, not in the way that Venti does. Though he knows what's to come, it was a selfish- yet still somehow a selfless- desire of his.

There's power in stories, though. That's all history is: the best tales. The ones that last. Might as well be mine.

[ this conversation went from 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 to 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 real quick——however , it's varka's insistence of knowing after all ... because , there's not a single 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 of this grandmaster forgetting about venti and mondstadt after all these years of expedition .
For as much of a chatterbox that Venti knew that he was, he was surprisingly quiet after Varka had explained his worries. The 'why's to it, how he worried not just for Mondstadt and its people, but truly about him as well. It was a concern he hasn't been familiar with for centuries.

It was a song about love and all the ways to say it: sacrifice and a cup of hot tea waiting at his desk, chess during the lazy days and music during the hard ones, leaving and staying, remembering and forgetting. It was a song about family, born or made or found or rediscovered.

“… 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪.” The name becomes a plea upon his lips, rather than the appropriately disgruntled dissent he intended it to be.

He's just lying on the ground near the church- legs propped up on the wall leading to the stairs, lyre resting against his chest and lazily plucking its chords with a hum.
Comfy. Maybe a little tired. Just listening to whatever the wind brings to him at this late hour.

Huh. So something 𝘸𝘢𝘴 on the man's mind. He wabted company, a distraction from what was ailing him, even if that meant finding an excuse to come find the badd way up here. Not that he minded, but it did make him worry all the same. It's not often that a confident man such as the Grandmaster to be +
