The Plaza in Front of the Favonius Cathedral

Aether and Paimon arrived at the plaza, where they saw a crowd of people gather, and amongst them they saw a certain bard.

''Hey! It's the Tone-Deaf Bard!''

They saw Venti talking with a citizens, as soon as they were done Aether and Paimon greeted him.

''Tone-Deaf Bard, what are you up to? What's with all the people?'' Paimon asked him.

''Aha! You're right in time. Take a look at my students. What do you think? Not bad, eh?'' Venti proudly exclaimed and looked at the crowd of people.

''You mean the people anxiously scratching their head?'' Paimon pointed at the people who didn't seem to know what's going on.

''Anxiously? Why, these people are in deep concentration, diligently searching for heartfelt rhetoric to convey their romantic affections.''

''Uh-huh... Seems a bit suspicious to Paimon...''

''One that note, I think it's about time you two got a deeper understanding of Mondstadt's culture and customs. I need a couple of assistants.''

''Assistants? What kind of assistants.'' Paimon wanted to know before they got tricked.

''Ahahaha... You see these folks here? They're looking to learn the secrets of love, so they came to me to learn how to compose poems. Of course I accepted, because I was only too happy to charge a tuition fee.''

''Of course you do.'' Paimon deadpanned at him.

''But now that you are my assistants you can listen to the people pour their hearts out about their romantic trials and tribulations.''

''Ugh, save us the nonsense... You just want to speed up your sales. That desperate for Mora, huh?'' Paimon patronized Venti.

''There are limited-edition wines for sale during the Windblume Festival... I needed every last Mora to make sure I get my fill.''

''Uh-huh... Spoken like a true drunkard...''

''I nicely asked if Raelin would be a sweetheart and buy one bottle for me, but she was all; You're a bard, use your bardish talent to earn some Mora'' Venti impersonated Raelin.

''At least she is right!''

After Venti roped the two into assisting him, they started to discuss with the people about what they wanted to write, while Venti was listening to their conversations from the shadows. When they finished they met up in front of the Statue of Anemo Archon.

''You did a great job, hehe! Thank you!'' He said and looked around the plaza. ''So, who else needs some help around here...''

''Hmm, what are you three up to?'' a smooth voice spoke. ''Mind if we get in on the action?''

They turned towards the voice and saw Kaeya along with Raelin.

''Oh, Kaeya. I knew Raelin would say 'yes' if you just asked nicely.'' Venti decided to tease the young Cavalry Captain.

''Huh? What is he talking about?'' Raelin looked at Kaeya confused.

''Um, nothing...''

''I see... Are you two here for some romantic guidance?''

''Hahaha, it's the greatest bard in town. And now, the greatest romantic advisor in town, no doubt.'' Kaeya trailed off. ''Still, don't you have other business to attend to?''

''Oh! You mean, teaching people how to compose love poems?''

''Exactly that. I heard that you were teaching classes in the plaza, so I came right away with Raelin in tow.''
