I lived b*tch

Me and Aether totally had a battle to the death, and I reigned supreme.

He definitely didn't just re-sheathe his sword after making his threat to show me mercy since I'd probably get folded like a pancake. Nope.

So anyways...

Venti began to explain the whole Dvalin situation for us.

Apparently, my earlier intuition was correct, Dvalin wasn't evil, in reality, he was just hurt. not physically, but emotionally.

I really felt for the dragon, even if it wasn't human. He was lied to. Made to believe that the people he has protected for so long don't care for him.

The abyss order was beginning to be a huge pain, even bigger than before, and I was just about ready to b*tch slap the leader for making life harder than it already is.

"...Before arriving here, I too was like Dvalin, cursed and left to waste."

Perking my head up, I was too busy planning a murder that I completely zoned out of the current conversation.

Standing before me, Venti held a hand over his heart as his eyes closed, reminiscing of his past experience.

"But now, before us stands the Symbol of Mondstadt's Hero, the place from which Mondstadt rose. The wind amongst the branches is good, I love the way it smells."

'Okay, pretty weird, but it's not like I can judge him.'

"Being here with you beneath this great tree feels like when the tear was purified earlier. Like the poison is leaving my body."

Venti was looking directly at me as he said this. But upon noticing me stare back, his eyes quickly moved to Aether.

"ahh- ehe- I feel much better."

'makes sense, maybe Aether's powers n'stuff are helping him out. with his... poison? wait he was poisoned?'

"You were poisoned?"

voicing my thoughts, Venti turned back to me with a cheeky smile.

"That would be because I tried to communicate with Dvalin earlier, but was... interrupted. As a result, not only did I manage to help Dvalin break his curse, but instead, was also infected myself!"

The passive-aggressiveness in his voice was clear, 'whoopsies'

"was that... us?"

Aether's voice came out softly as if scared for the answer.

"Yes, it was you lot!"

As he crossed his arms, the bard looked down at both of us, since he was standing on higher ground. His smile wasn't helping. I turned to Aether-

"PFFT-"

'His face! His face!!'

Aether had a blank expression, but his eyes shot wide open. I guess he wasn't expecting the straight forward answer, and he just stood there shellshocked.

I turned around and held for dear life to my stomach. trying hard not to laugh out loud, I clapped a hand over my mouth to muffle my giggles.

"(y/n)! you shouldn't be laughing right now! Don't make Paimon go over there!!"

"Im sorry mmph-pfft-"

"Don't think innocent either! Now, who was it that mistook me for a maiden?"
