[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 knows what he is getting at, but that doesn't make it any easier to answer him. Perhaps answering his question with another question is telling enough; either way, it takes her another moment.

Why is she burdening him with this? Maybe he will have some answers that her close friends do not. ]


What if you are not certain which way your feelings fall?

[ Not excellent??? On second thought, really, why is she doing this? Some thirst for knowledge, understanding?

Bah. ]

[ She'll consider the question, anyway, though. What else is she going to do? He is forever in her thoughts anyway, especially now that they get to work together. ]

Safe

Warm, like someone's wrapped me in a fuzzy blanket. But sometimes it's too warm and I want to kick it off.
judicialassistant: (eyes closed 2)

I always find it again, though. In the end.

[ There is very little, at this point, that she wouldn't do for him. She clearly loves him very much.

She just hadn't considered that this love night be... more than she originally anticipated, until sort-of recently. ]
judicialassistant: (me?)

[ ......There's...really no way for Susato prepare for the words that come. He delivers on his promise; he certainly does build on what she says, but it also feels like so much more.

Her mouth is hung open behind the journal, and she can only stare with each line that comes. She can't bring herself to interrupt, so she'll wait until she thinks he's finished. ]


I...

You just
judicialassistant: (sad 2)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-07 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ She crosses out the words, quill hovering in thought. These journal messages are not like letters. They are more immediate, meaning she feels the pressure to respond. ]

That was far from simple. That was beautiful.
judicialassistant: (think)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-08 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... I hope so too.

[ For now, she'll probably just transcribe it into one of her personal notebooks and read it when she struggles to sleep at night. Venti did use her own words as a base, but Susato can't help but feel like she's cheating anyway.

Hmmm. ]


As a bard, do you typically take payment for your services?
judicialassistant: ([fa] blush-shhh)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-11 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Well... I do not have any wine [ And Lord van Zieks, who she'd probably go to for something like that, hates her or something it's fine ] but we have plenty of apples that I keep at the Wild Harvest. I use them to make my spiced apple tea on occasion.

I would be happy to bring you some to show my appreciation! Venti, is it?
judicialassistant: (point)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-17 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She meant the apples themselves, but since Venti seems interested, she could always bring both! ]

Wonderful! I am Susato Mikotoba. Student and judicial assistant from the world of, [ A pause, as she taps her quill to her chin. ] um, Earth?

[ Anyway-- ]

Would you mind if I asked you where you live, Venti?
judicialassistant: (gasp)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-19 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ WHY IS HE HOMELESS... Not that Susato can tell just based on that, but she will definitely ask. ]

Of course you can! I can even prepare a basket for you. But... what does "here or there" mean?
judicialassistant: (think)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-23 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ ......That's fair actually. She wouldn't even argue. ]

Well, the nights are still chilly, but I suppose they won't stay that way for long. It sounds rather romantic when you put it that way, but are you sure that's safe?

[ She has several concerns!!! ]
judicialassistant: (me?)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-28 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ That really sounds like a rude awakening waiting to happen, though. Also the bark can't be comfortable? Venti please, where else can you obtain a house for free.

Ultimately, however, Susato tries to convince herself it is not her business, even though his claim does make her curious. ]


What way do you mean? You will have to show me when we meet. I have made some protection charms for my family and some close friends, but I am always looking for inspiration to make them better.
judicialassistant: ([fa] tea)

[personal profile] judicialassistant 2022-04-30 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ She can't help but feel a little disappointed, but it would figure that he would make her wait! She'll accept his answer, though. Perhaps these "tricks" are better shown than explained. ]

Alright. I will look forward to it!
