It was announced to him on a Wednesday.

The announcement that was given to him by his father alone about the necessary trust of the Ragnvindr's and the little information of Mondstadt that he was practically being forced to infiltrate.

At the time, he sat at a table that was filled with food as he loosely gripped onto his fork that he used to twirl the noodles around in the bowl. He was not hungry, everything looked unappetizing to him throughout that day.

However, when his father said that he was their last hope, and that he had a job that needed to be done, he didn't think that he would strand him in the dead of night during a thunderstorm. Granted, he was dropped off near where he needed to be regardless, the family of the Ragnvindr's, but thinking back to the place that's supposed to feel like home, the place that he felt lonely in due to the lack of bonds he created, this is his first time that he was truly alone.

The thunder caused Kaeya to flinch slightly within every boom and his uncovered eye was hazy with the rain that slips through his lashes. The clothes he wears was a bit worn down and drenched, and his stained thin overcoat did little to nothing, even with the hood on over his head.

He listens to each splat when he steps in puddles, trying to maneuver his way around the best he can, passing by tree after tree and seeing no building, only green.

The longer he stayed outside, the more his body began to get used to the cold. That couldn't be healthy for him at all, but what else could he do?

Kaeya didn't know what he should be feeling in a time like this. There were so many emotions piling on top of him at once, he didn't know which one he should let front. He was scared, as any child would be, because he was alone in the middle of a heavy storm when the moon was out. He was angry that even though his own father would throw him away to do his bidding, he feels as though he has no choice but to obey his orders. He feels pity for himself because he grew up in such an unhealthy household and all he could do was stand by and watch as everything around him unfold.

But yet, a part of him also felt kind of relieved. Relieved that he was finally given the chance to taste freedom dance around him and close enough to be within his grasp.

Still though, once this entire mission was over, however long that may take, he'll be back in the house that he was imprisoned in for so long.

And that hurts.

The weight being piled upon him weighs him down, and he can only plop down under a tree as he hugs tightly onto his knees. His growing tears mix with the rain as they both slide down on his skin. He didn't want this; he wanted to walk out of the wide open door of his cell, but can't because he's being held by the chains of his father's wishes. All the boy wanted was the freedom to make his own mistakes, because then maybe he'll actually learn the meaning behind them.

And it was almost like he was heard. Eyes were on him from a distance by a young male who watches as the child buried his face in his dirty clothing.

'What an unfortunate place to be in..'

The Anemo God begins to slowly make his way towards him, but the cracking of the branches making the boy flinch made his chest hurt. And as the boy snaps his head up to look around him for the source of the noise, he found nothing.

Venti stands straight behind a rather thick tree, staring down at the grass as he thinks to himself. He's skittish, so revealing himself would only frighten the poor boy, and that was not something that he wanted. A smile cracks on his face as an idea pops in his head.

Staying in one place did not seem like the best idea to Kaeya, and he was starting to feel hesitant, but before he could move from the tree, the dim glow from the distance only caused his body to freeze. The next thing he knew, a small figure about the size of his hand hovers in front of the boys face. It basically just looked like a small person but with a cloak covering it, and inside of the hood could not be seen other then two glowing eyes that stared at the boy.

It actually looked cute. It floats down until Kaeya opens his palms flat, causing the wind spirit to plop on his hand and close his eyes as though he was smiling at the child.

Something about their interaction made Kaeya's heart burn, but made his body feel warm. That smile was very inviting and gentle, and it only caused more of his salty tears to leak out.

"Please," he heard the sound of a males voice, almost as though it was mumbling to him through the wind as it blew in his direction. "Don't cry, my child."

'My child.'

Those two words repeat in his head. He's heard his father say those words to him all the time, but when Venti said it..

'My child.'

A major sensation of relief washed over him as he leans his back against the tree. The wind spirit rises from the child's hands and swirls around, somehow making cheerful noises and putting a smile on the boys face. His smile was truly contagious, it almost made the little guy want to turn back into his other form, but he knew that wasn't the best of ideas.

He wanted to help the boy, but it looks like he didn't have to, because the rather loud footsteps coming from the direction of a building that was all too familiar to Venti was enough for him to know that this boy would be in safe hands.

He gives him one final smile like gesture with his eyes before flying off. This would obviously worry and maybe even scare him a bit, but Venti knew that everything would be okay now.

He saw the man walking with steady steps, holding onto a covered lantern to not burn out into the rain. His soaking red hair that was tied into a messy like ponytail was clinging against his skin as his gaze rests upon the child, who looked at the man with clear anxiousness on his face. But when he crouches and smiles at the boy, he was almost quick to calm down.

Kaeya recognized this man from his father. Crepus Ragnvindr, the owner of Dawn Winery, the man he was supposed to be with. And suddenly, everything that his father told him came crawling back, and the whole point of him being here dawned on him once again.

He looked at the larger hand of the man for a few quiet moments until he loosely grabs it, standing up and follow the man back into the winery not too far.

Although, Kaeya couldn't help but glance back behind him wondering where that little thing flew off too. Instead of seeing the wind spirit, he sees a man sitting on a high branch in the distance, watching as his legs slowly dangle back and forth.

"Do not cry, my child, for you are now a child of Mondstadt."

Kaeya's eyes widen ever so slightly as the wind brush against his face. He gazes at the man, and while he couldn't see his eyes, he could clearly see his caring smile.
