[The camera clicks on, initially capturing a view of a partly cloudy sky. The camera moves downward, bringing its owner into view: Bennett. He's got what appears to be a pair of wings on his back.]

Hey there! Bennett here, coming to you live from the rooftops of Camelot, haha!

[He switches over from the front camera to the rear, presenting a gorgeous view of the city below, as seen from the rooftop of a building, and a particularly tall one at that, judging by how far down some of those buildings seem. How did he get up there? Don't worry about it.]

I recently got my Wind Glider back, so I thought it'd be pretty cool to get an aerial view of the city. You know, gliding high above the city, talking about some of my favorite spots here... All that fun stuff! Anyway, here I go!

[He runs, and leaps into the air off of the rooftop he's on. But rather than dropping, he seems to float in the air, suspended above the ground below while he points his phone at the sights of the city.]

So, starting off, in my opinion, the best crepes in town can be found at that place over there! [A gloved hand comes into the shot, pointing at a cafe down below.] And over there [pointing at a very wide building now] is the hospital with the friendliest staff! They don't give me grief even when I end up there for the fourth time in two weeks. Aaaand... Ah! Down there is--Whoa!?

[Suddenly, without warning, a powerful wind picks up, blowing Bennett and his glider lopsided. Knocked around, it causes him to let go of his phone, allowing it to plummet sstraight to the ground. The last thing seen before it hits the ground is Bennett's horrified expression moving farther and farther away until it hits the ground, terminating the video.

---

A minute later, it comes back on, back in Bennett's hand and broadcasting his face again. There's a clear crack running down the middle of the lens, causing him to look like he's been split in two, and both the video and the audio is crackly and distorted.]

[At first Venti thinks this could be some sort of really entertaining idea- a sort of network show (or app) where Bennett tours the city telling his audience all about this and that... How good, how entertaining, how---

.... Unlucky. Venti winces when he watches the end and then realizes... well- that could be entertaining too. If it wasn't so much at Bennett's expense all the time.]

Bennett... Firstly, are you alright? You don't feel a bone or two out of place, do you? Something tells me that winds in this city aren't as forgiving on gliders as the ones at home...

[Or Bennett really is just that unlucky.]

[My GOODNESS. His head hurts just trying to understand all of that in the static.....]

Secondly, Bennett... You'll need a new device. That much is sure or you'll give the entire city a headache...

I'm not so sure, either... Perhaps one of the shops in the market. Or you could ask Master Diluc to help you. He has a way with scouting out information.

[He doesn't hecking know, make Diluc look for you. He hums.]

Did you just recently get this glider? I thought I would have seen you use one before now.

[Can a god have a headache? Because goodness gracious...]

If that's the case I might wander over and see if I could get myself one. Even if the winds aren't as kind here as they are back in Mondstadt.

[...]

Bennett, are you going to continue with your little broadcasts about this city?

Hmm! I have one somewhere, yes.

[It's probably just a piece of paper with the words "I do what I want." written on it. That's his gliding license.]

But that would be a good idea. You might even be able to showcase gliding races if you did want to continue with your broadcasting.
