can you tell i wanted to skip this chapter?

but i needed xiao's pov after 24 so that's fun.

is venti's dialogue a headcanon dump-? yes. yes it is.

------------------------------

"want me to tell you about my friend group?"

"sure...?"

"well, jean's overworking, kaeya's probably the gayest one in the chat, besides me! and lisa's aro/ace and flirts platonically with everyone, albedo's really nice to kids, and diluc's an ass."

"i thought you meant everyone that isn't in that chat."

"oh!"

"okay, so kazuha is one of my oldest friends, he's beidou and ... n's adopted so-"

"just say her name... i don't hold as much as a grudge against her as i did before. she addressed a letter to dad, and got it to him somehow, and she's changed, clearly... she's even offered to actually do her sentence."

"alright, well! beelzebub, or ei as she prefers now, is kind of a bitch, but i stole her boob sword so that's even. yae miko's nice, but she's written fanfiction of me so i don't like her too mu-"

"wait, boob swo-"

"don't question it."

"fine."

"anyway!"

"just stop, you attract the weirdest people." 

"how dare you."

"... i'm calling myself weird..."

"and i find that rude!"

xiao shook his head.

"what else do you want to talk about?"

"can we just not talk?"

"then what should we do- ooo! we should watch a movie."

"then we're watching coraline."

"alright!"

"we'll need to watch it on one of our phones, though."

"that's fine!"
