[ The confession brings the first glimpses of true warmth into Venti's expression since the other's arrival. There's sadness too, yes, but seeing Zhongli like this and the topic they're discussing makes it impossible for him not to think back on his own beloved humans and the Nameless Bard he once knew.

That love has never truly petered out. Venti's physical form is testament to that. ]

That sounds like something you'll need to figure out together. They do say that communication is the foundation of any relationship. Even for friends.

[ Venti threads his fingers together over his ankle. ]

Perhaps you should consider speaking to him on the matter.

[brokebitchmountain]

[ Zhongli nods, solemnly, as he takes another look at Venti. ]

I am not sure if we are friends or...something more at this point. [ Zhongli just knows that Childe makes him feel something more than a simple friend would? He's really bad at this kind of stuff though. ]

I definitely will. But I have been giving him his space after Morax attacked him.

[eheh]

Mm, that's a sentiment I can understand well...

[ Venti hasn't exactly gone prancing around like he normally does, choosing to keep to himself and let others approach him. Aether he's been particularly worried about. ]

[brokebitchmountain]

[ Zhongli can't help but let out a small, self-deprecating laugh at that. Just look at the two of them, sitting here and bemoaning their lives, as if they haven't seen and been through it all already. ]

Even for how long we have lived, to have such troubles with humans of all things...I suppose this is what it is like to be mortal and to do as they do.

[ Such problems would never even get a second glance by him when he was the archon, more important matters were always at hand of course, so be left in such a state by something like this? He can only laugh at it, really. ]

[eheh]

[ WOW ZHONGLI are you trying to relate to him about not understanding people like he is as rock-brained as you...

Venti lets out a tiny huff, the sound almost a laugh, as he fixes his fellow Archon with a wry crook of his lips. ]

I don't know how I feel about being put in the same boat as you in that particular category. Compared to you, I'm perfectly adjusted to mortal life.

[ it might be a pit petulant, but some of Venti's impishness is finally starting to peek through his dour mood. ]

[brokebitchmountain]

That is...not what I had meant. [ A huff as he folds his arms over his chest. ]

We are not similar in those regards, you are correct. Out of the original seven, you have always been far more at ease with humanity than myself. This experience has at least helped me gain a better understanding of them. But...I am still at a loss when it comes to Childe.

[ He sighs as he looks down into his wine glass. There's a dour sort of feel to the air about him especially. ]

How is it that you have come to understand them so well?

[eheh]

Well... It's not as hard as you make it out to be. But that might also be a fundamental difference between us, you and I. I've always listened to the lives of humans on the wind... Everything from the moment they're born. It's hard not to understand just a little if you spend all your time with them.

[ Venti hasn't spent his whole life with them, but certainly the most impactful moments of it have been in their presence ]

Most of us don't start out an all-powerful Prime of the Adepti. I was a little wisp of wind before destiny called my name.
