[open] invitation of windblume!

[concierto]

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!]

There's Bennett-san. He's got really bad luck but he's very nice... and Phantom-sensei. He's teaching me piano and he has a cat he talks to. Thoma-san said he wanted to be my friend too and he's just... very, very nice. Ori-san said they were dating and that makes sense because they're both very nice people.

[concierto]

[Venti is very happy to see a few familiar names! But what is this? Oriphi- dating Thoma?

... Ehe.]

I think you've picked all very nice people, dear Sana. When you think of each person you should think of what flower might fit them well. Take Bennett for example. When you say he has bad luck what sort of flower would you give him to counter that bad luck?

Or when you say nice, what sorts of blooms would you think of for Ori and Thoma together? Red roses are often meant for love. Or would it be yellow roses for friendship?

[inveilsible]

Peony... maybe? Where I'm from, it means brightness, kindness and good luck.

But Ori-san said Thoma-san was specifically her boyfriend, so for them, I think it would have to be red roses.

[concierto]

Peonies! A delightful choice! A batch of those are sure to bring a bright smile and a bushel of luck to Bennett's life!

Red roses for the lovely couple. I see! But for their individual gifts of flowers from you to them I would think something sweet like yellow sunflowers or a bright bouquet of gerbera daisies might just do!

[So they ARE dating. Ehe. Ehe, indeed.]

[inveilsible]

I think sunflowers might be a little too bright, coming from me... but maybe the daisies?

[concierto]

Daisies would be lovely. White, yellow or pink ones often mean friendship. What do you think?

[inveilsible]

Yellow, I think! It would match Thoma-san's hair and Ori-san's personality.

[ Well. She seems a lot less shy over the journal. ]

[concierto]

A grand bouquet of yellow daisies for them! A wonderful choice, dear Sana!

And lastly, do you have any thoughts for Phantom?

[inveilsible]

I thought... bluebells or something that might mean gratitude? Both for him and Miss Christine. He asked if... he could be my friend and he's teaching me piano, so I feel as though I already owe him a lot.

[concierto]

I have met him once when I stumbled upon his cozy little music studio in the corner. He seems like quite the enigma. But kind, as you said! I think bluebells would do well.

I'm also happy to hear you're picking up the piano! That would be such a powerful tool under your fingertips.

[inveilsible]

I've never tried to learn music before... an instrument, anyway. But I always thought it was pretty.

Are you a musician, Venti-san?

[concierto]

There's always time to learn.

And that's right! As a bard I have to be proficient at several instruments, actually! There isn't a wind or string instrument I can't pick up.

[And that includes piano!]

[inveilsible]

Wow... I think it wouldn't be easy just to learn one, let alone several. You're amazing, Venti-san.

[concierto]

[When you're as old as him there's all the time in the world!]

Thank you! It's my passion, what can I say!

[inveilsible]

Music is? I feel like you're passionate about a lot of things.

[concierto]

Hmm. Yes, music, love, the wind, a nicely chilled glass of cider or wine... I have many passions!

[inveilsible]

[ Wine?

Wine??????? ]

Venti-san, aren't you... a teenager?

[concierto]

[PFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT]

Ehe, I might be a little older than I appear! Just a little bit.

[inveilsible]

... How much of a little bit?

[concierto]

Now now, Sana my dear. It's not very nice to ask someone that.

[Don't worry about it!!]

[inveilsible]

Venti-san are you a ghost????

[concierto]

[... You know what??? He's going to set this message to private-]

Yes, but... Will you keep that a secret? I don't want to alarm anyone!

[-Just for the authenticity of this lie.]

private;

[inveilsible]

[ Well.

SOMEONE SURE IS ALARMED. ]

I'm so sorry! I didn't think that was right! I'm sorry, I hope it wasn't painful when you died... and that you died at all, I'm also very sorry...

private;

[concierto]

Oh, it's quite alright. It was only a shower of arrows or some such.

[Venti... Please.]

private;

[inveilsible]

I don't think that's "alright" at all!
