dreamcrystals | [open] invitation of windblume!

Sender: Venti
To: Everyone!
Subject: A rose by any other name is still a rose!

Hello there! It appears that this world is entering its Spring Solstice and with such a season brings new life and new flowers to everything the sun touches! I'd like to share with you a tradition during this time of year from my homeland, the beautiful and free city of Mondstadt. And that is the Windblume festival.

During this time of year, many will offer flowers in tribute to the god of freedom! Yet, what is more important is the tradition of gifting flowers to those you love and hold dear. The choice of flowers can say a lot about a person's feelings! When gifting precious flowers to those you love and adore the carefully picked flower should be one that means something to you and that precious relationship.

While this time of year doesn't necessarily have to mean these gestures are romantic there is another tradition of sending your most adored one a love poem. A perfect time to be confessing your heart's song to the one who holds your heart! Ehe, isn't that lovely?

I, as a travelling bard, have spent many years seeing the Windblume season! And with it, I have written hundreds of poems and know exactly how to weave love's verse. I would like to offer my assistance in helping you find the words to write your own love letter or poem to the one you hold dear or wish to confess to! Do tell me all about the one you hold in your heart and allow me to help you craft the words to express your heart's feelings.

Please, it would be my pleasure!

[Spill the tea on your love lives and in return Venti will help you confess in a love letter! Come on, get spilling! He loves the gossip!]

[ Susato is learning more and more about flowers all the time, but she's never heard of the Windblume festival. Either way, the energy of the message makes her smile, even if she may or may not have already confessed.

Sorry, Venti! ]

Flowers have a language of their own, do they not? It depends on the color too, I have heard. Is your Windblume festival tradition accompanied by a guide of sorts?

I didn't realize you were here.

[That's it. That's the whole message.]

[Aw, he wanted to hear all about the young love stories!]

Why yes! It's quite similar to the language of flowers! While there is no official guide on what each flower means it can be quite meaningful if you give a flower that speaks to your heart!

[Isn't that romantic? It's a bit about your own interpretation of flowers too!]

[Ah. He was expecting this at some point. So, he's only smirking.]

Hello there, Master Diluc! What a pleasant surprise to see your name!

[ LOVE'S TOO COMPLICATED, VENTI. Flowers are much better, she likes flowers. ]

I am still learning, so I am not sure they will have much to say to me, just yet... What kind of flowers do you have on Mondstadt?

The Windblume Festival?
I have heard of this festival, though I have never experienced it for myself. From my understanding of it, the Windblume Festival is as important to Mondstadt as Lantern Rite is to Liyue, correct?
Are offering flowers and writing poetry the only tradition that occurs during this time?

The surprise goes both ways.

[And that bothers him. How long has Venti been here unnoticed? Diluc must be losing his touch on things.]

Did you come here with the other recent arrivals from Teyvat?

There's someone I love deeply. A life without them would be a life that's incomplete.

When I'm with the one I love I feel like my existence has more meaning. I feel like it has purpose.

It's really hard to put this into words. Wouldn't you know how to write it down better?

If the person we...like isn't here and doesn't feel the same way that you do about them, is it really worth it?

Even if those feelings are complicated?

How much do you make per poem?

Is this all not a bit superfluous?

Words and flowers. Such things are fleeting.

Oh, wow. It's been a long time since I've gotten to participate in Windblume!

"Many years?" Aren't you not all that much older than me, Venti?

[Venti looks so young, after all.... ]

[If this were a phone, Tifa would have hit backspace so many times before finally hitting send, changing her question each time.]

Do people really like getting love poems from the ones they love? It's something I've only ever read about in books.

I don't have anyone like that, Venti-san. But it sounds like a nice tradition.

[Oh, sweet grandchild.]

That's alright, my dear Sana! Giving flowers to your friends is just as lovely. I'm sure you have friends and acquaintances that you could give flowers too, isn't that right?

Of course! What's better than putting some thoughtful effort onto a page and giving it to someone special? It's a unique way of showing how much you care about someone. And seeing them react to such a thing is one of the best parts!

[BENNETT NO]

I might be a tad older than you, Bennett. Ehe, but that only means I've seen my fair share of the festival. That's all!

It must be! Now, tell me! Do you have anyone special you would write a poem for?

What's so superfluous about gifting something as thoughtful as someone's thoughts? The flowers are always a meaningful gesture as well, Xiao.

Oh, I don't charge a fee whatsoever!

Well, I wouldn't mind a few tips here and there. Perhaps a bottle of fine wine or two?

Of course! Sometimes the complicated ones are the ones that come out the most beautiful.

[ Friends? Friends. Friends?????

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ]

Well, if it's acquaintances...

[This answer is bittersweet and it touches Venti.]

Perhaps it might not lead to the outcome you wish but writing down your thoughts can be just as therapeutic in your healing, my friend.
