Chapter Text

 

| Venti, Kaeya, and 3 others

 

Venti changed the group name to “Venti’s loyal followers”

 

Venti: 

Well then, hello everybody! As some of the few people chosen to test out these prototype messenger devices, I decided to test it out with you guys with this group chat!

 

Diluc:

And why have you decided to include me in a mix of… Favonious scum.

 

Kaeya:

Well fuck you too Master Diluc

 

Aether:

Please don’t fight, I don’t want more damage control

 

Jean: 

And… What’s with the name of this chat

 

Venti:

Seeing as though you all know about my archon-not archon anymore status, I figured we should keep in touch!

 

Diluc:

Since when did Sir Kaeya know about your predicament

 

Venti: 

Since we became great drinking buddies! Isn’t that right, Captain Kaeya?

 

Kaeya:

You do tend to blab about certain things when drunk- you’re quite lucky you mentioned it when I was so courteously taking you home

 

Jean: 

Oh dear archons…

 

Venti:

You asked?

 

Jean: 

Oh dear archons besides the one I serve

 

Venti:

Hey!

 

Diluc:

Well then.

Congratulations bard, that’s another one to your total

 

Kaeya:

Always knew something was up with you

Best bard in town and best love advisor- of course something would be off

 

Venti:

Anyway! We’re straying from the point here. You see, I need you guys to do me a tiny favor

 

Diluc:

If it’s regarding the growing sum of money on your tab, I require payment as soon as possible

 

Venti:

As I was saying

 

Kaeya:

Hah, ignored

 

Aether:

Captain Pyro is gonna get pissed off~~

 

Jean:

Are... you alright?

 

Aether:

Of course I am! I’msdh820b5%$gY

 

Jean:

Not another one, please

 

Kaeya:

Has the honorary knight gotten drunk? Can’t blame him, wine is a delicacy even the lowest of the low can appreciate.

 

Diluc:

Sir Kaeya I will not hesitate to throw you straight at a Pyro Regisvine

 

Jean:

Isn’t Aether underaged though?

 

Aether:

Sorry guys, Paimon took the phone

 

Venti: 

ANYWAYS , let me continue after I was so rudely interrupted

If ever you guys come across a guy dressed in fancy clothing, has his hair tied in a loose ponytail, has no mora, and looks like he’s about to murder someone around Mondstadt- please immediately inform me

 

Aether:

Are you talking about Mr. Zhongli..?

 

Venti:

Zhongli?

Oh- Yep! That’s the one

 

Diluc:

How is it do you manage to be such a carefree archon, and in the process cause annoyance to the people around you

 

Venti: 

Hehe, it’s what I do best, thank you very much!

 

Diluc:

You know what I meant

 

Venti:

Tut tut no need to worry about the details, oh great Master Diluc

 

Kaeya:

And to think our great Lord Barbatos was but a drunkard in debt

 

Aether:

Makes me wonder what the other archons are like…

 

Jean:

Whether or not Venti chooses to act as the anemo archon, it doesn’t devoid the fact that during times of crisis, he was nothing but a big help for us.

 

Venti:

Jean, you’re my favorite citizen now ( ´ ∀ `)ノ~ ♡

 

Aether:

Paimon’s throwing a fit, please revoke your message or she, and I quote, “Will float all the way to Liyue just to tell Mr. Zhongli how much of a prick the tone-deaf bard is”

 

Venti:

WAIT PAIMON I JEST

I am a fair archon, I have no favorites

 

Kaeya:

Unless…

Drinks are on me tonight

 

Venti:

Oh, Kaeya, have I ever told you how much I appreciate your hard work for Mondstadt :) 

 

Aether:

And here we see a leech, doing leech things

 

Venti:

As the anemo archon, I hereby ban you from entering the city of Mondstadt

 

Jean:

I don’t think banning our honorary knight from entering a city he protected would be a good idea. It would also ruin face- a person banned from entering the city of freedom is a contradiction in itself… 

 

Kaeya:

Acting grandmaster scolding our archon- sounds legit

 

Diluc:

“Legit”

 

Kaeya:

Don’t even.

 

Venti:

GASP

GUYS LOOK WE CAN SEND EACH OTHER THESE TOO

🌈❄️💧

 

Jean:

Oh, one of them looks like a Cryo vision

Isn’t that right, Kaeya?

 

Kaeya:

I suppose it does

 

Aether:

🍷

 

Venti:

THEY HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS

🥂🍷🍺🍸🍾

 

Diluc:

What the hell is the point of this conversation
