[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.]

Yeah yeah, sucks about your phone, but what's this about crepes?!

[ He had her with that. ]

What are crepes?

[More important to him than this part:] Is only your phone broken or is the rest of you? I can see why you'd be visiting healers a lot. [He was a dumb reckless child, but not that bad!]

You trying to do that with elemental or kinetic magic? [Yeah, not saying anything about the phone and he already knows Bennett has healing magic so he's not too concerned there. He's just trying to figure out if he'll be able to teach the kid the spell he used last time they met.]

Did you hurt anything else?

[It was such a neat video up until that point, geez.]

Well, um...there should be places where you can either see if they can repair your phone, or give you a replacement. But are you okay? That looked like a pretty big fall.

[ He also wants to ask about crepes..... but Zhongli's pretty sure something is wrong here. ]

I had thought perhaps these devices would prove to be much sturdier. Would it be possible to have it repaired in some manner?

There should be a few places that will help you get it repaired - are you all right? Was that a hang-glider you were using?

[He has a Concern, okay? You can get in a lot of danger and pain if you can't control a glider properly. Ask him how he-- no don't.]

[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.]

First thing, are you alright?

[It was his phone that took that dropped and not him, but still.]

Second, what are crepes?

Bennett?!

[ Yona hadn't encountered this familiar face since those strange dreams she'd wandered through, but she certainly recognizes him now. And the mishap that follows after is...

Well. He hadn't been kidding about his bad luck, had he? ]

Are you alright?!

I would assume the phone is the only thing that is broken? That seemed like a rather rough landing there.
