He proudly presented his lyre. It was made of wood and adorned with beautiful, fragrant Cecilia flowers.

— This is my little child; she accompanies me wherever I go, telling stories with her notes and carrying them around the world with the song of the wind.

The bard laughed, pirouetting to show off his entire outfit, holding his beret so it wouldn't fall off.

— Do I look good? This isn't cosplay, it's who I am! Venti, the bard! It's a great pleasure to meet you!

The bard's eyes gleamed with that childlike, playful sparkle.

— I can call him for you, but I think it would be more fun if you came with me to Mondstadt. I could show you the city and the people who live there... Oh! I can take you to the best tavern there!

That bard looked like a child; he walked constantly sniffling, his nose swollen and red from so many sneezes he'd given in a short period of time. Damn cats.

— Greetings, dear friend, forgive me for bothering you, I just... I-

Unable to speak, he sneezed again.

— I need something for allergies.

— I'm alright thanks to you; you have my sincere gratitude. But what about you? Allow me to help you too...!

Venti was on the ground, having fallen on his bottom; his beret lay beside him, and the wind carried away what remained of the enemy. The Bard sniffled as he looked at his savior, noticing the golden fluid oozing from his wound. (+)

He shouldn't have stayed near that cat for so long; his allergy had left him lethargic and impaired his perception. If it weren't for the gentleman's sudden and sacrificial movement, Venti might have had trouble dealing with the enemy. (+)

— Yes, dragons have been with us since ancient times! In Mondstadt we have the dragon of the east of the four winds! My dear friend named Dvalin!!

A proud smile was visible when he spoke about the Anemo dragon. Almost as if he were a proud father of his son.

— Xianzo- Xia-... I know an old friend who would know how to pronounce those names perfectly! He lives in a place called Liyue! Have you ever visited? You'd love it, I'm sure! There's lots of tea and stories about dragons and contracts!
