[video un: dandelionwine] at our next merry meeting away in the sky.

[concierto]

[The video starts with a tall tree and collection of bright stars above as Venti is pointing the device upwards. The night sky is sparkling with bright nightly colours. The video pans down wildly to show feet dangling from one branch. One brown loafer shoe just barely hanging on by a toe. Then a weepy voice sings along with a soft sad melody...]

An arbor of flowers and a kettle of wine... Alas in the bowers no companion is mine.

[The shoe falls from his foot and hits the ground below. Only to be met with a huff and whine as the one in the tree starts to sip from a large wine bottle. The camera pans up again with the view of the whole bottle before there is a glimpse of Venti's face as he sips it.]

Then the moon sheds her rays on my goblet and me... And my shadow betrays we’re a party of three.

Party of three...! Your poem is the worst! Just terrible...!!

[Venti sighs...]

See the moon–how she dances in response to my song. See my shadow–it dances so lightly along... While sober I feel, you are both my good friends. ...While drunken I reel, our companionship ends...

[A soft sob as Venti takes another big sip of wine and lets the lonely ache overtake his singing. The camera pans down again as he's unable to finish the last few lines of a poem that Zhongli wrote him. Now that his old friend is gone.]

You and the curious starshine too... how boring...

[Oh dear god, this was not what Ochako planned at all!! He is way too drunk to actually climb down this tree and, honestly...wouldn't gliding be faster? that's sort of what their magic is for. Squeaking, Ochako jerks up and makes a grabs for Venti's wrist with a bit of a fluster. Oh no you don't, mister, you're not going anywhere without a fucking chaperone now.]

Hieee--ah...haha...maybe leave getting down to me this time, alright? Sorry about this, but it's easier this way.

[And without batting a lash, Ochako lowers the pinky finger she was extending when gripping Venti's wrist and he's suddenly as light as a feather! There's a slight glow to her fingertips as Ochako picks his ass up wholesale, like the princess Venti is, and floats them both down with her kinetic magic. It's rather graceful, like she were just walking on air itself with a slight bounce in her step.]

Ehehe, I don't know any songs about songs, Venti-san...why don't you start and I'll follow along, ne? [Just go wild, my drunken, friend. |Db]
