    Summary

    How Dahlia became The Herald of Barbatos.
    ____________________________________
    "You look like a man who needs one of two things to cheer up:" Venti lifted one finger up, "a miracle from Barbatos himself…” He lifted another finger, "…or someone to drag him out of his misery with questionable decisions. Lucky for you, I specialize in both." He winked, then leaned forward. “Now, my deacon—”

    “I’m not a deacon yet.” Dahlia corrected automatically.

    “—my future deacon,” Venti amended without shame, “which would you prefer?”

     
    OR
     
    Shortly after the Traveler left Mondstadt and the city regained its peace, Dahlia was announced as a candidate, a soon-to-be-ordained Deacon of the Church of Favonius. Which was great, awesome, perfect, had it not been for a teeny, tiny detail: his faith, or rather the lack of it.

    And then the wind gets a whiff of his secret.

    Summary

    When the deacon withdrew, nothing remained but a lingering ghost of a touch. Venti smiled, cupping Dahlia’s chin with his index finger and thumb. He lifted the deacon’s head gently, holding their gaze locked together.

    Under his radiant eyes, Dahlia felt sanctified.

    ___

    Dahlia helps Venti prepare for the ceremony. Some blasphemous thoughts occur.
