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!]

You're a very strong person to think of it that way. I don't know if I would ever be the same if someone I loved passed away or even left. [ Mostly because in his world the way people pass isn't the nicest or even the ultimate way to die. Dying isn't guaranteed in his world and you'd be more likely to turn into a monster than die outright. ]

Me?! Oh! Uh, well. I...IlikemybestfriendAlex!!! [ He didn't mean to type it out like that!! Huihguws! ]

But I never told him and he doesn't know because it would make things weird. We've been friends since we were little and he's just...always been there for me. [ You know as you do. ]

It's not that important though!! I want to know more about the gods in your world. What are their names? Do any of them ever interact with people?

Hmmm. As they say better to have loved than to never have loved at all.

[Although that seems to be a bittersweet line for the both of them now doesn't it...?]

While there are several roaming gods in my world there are seven that are the most worshipped across our lands. One god, or archon, to govern over each region. While some of them do interact with their nations there are ones that do like to stay out of the people's eye. Would you like to heard about some of them?

[And don't think he is going to let this person get away without talking more about his love for his best friend, yet.]

I guess that's true. Loving someone who doesn't even know or reciprocate those feelings is really hard though.

[ There's a sigh from him but at least this exchange isn't over voice so Venti can't hear it. ]

That sounds really amazing! I would love to hear more about them! I wonder why they keep out of the public eye? The god of light comes around every once in a while to check on things in my own world. But I guess gods are different in how they do things. Have you ever meant someone who you suspected to be a god?!

Even though you say that I do hope you have a chance someday to make your feelings known. You might be pleasantly surprised or at least it will help you feel like you can move forward.

[He would like to talk about this man's love life more but... He'll indulge a bit and shit-talk his fellow coworkers.]

Ehe! I have suspected a few! While some are more hands on than others! They all have their quirks! Take Morax, the god of geo and contracts for example! While he likes to mingle with his people he hasn't a clue how to blend in with them! I hear he is rather dull headed but he means well. And his protection over his people knows no bounds.

[He loves you Zhongli, really.]

I hope so too, for you as well. You had someone you liked too, right? Hopefully, you can one day make it known how much! [ For both of them it would be a good thing. ]

Oh I see. So he's one of those super-smart people that have no common sense, that kind of thing?

But the god of contracts...he must be really serious then if that's what he's the god of. I can't imagine him allowing many threats to come to his people. He sounds like a really hardworking god.

[Venti will giggle at the first comment but he won't comment on it again. Venti's love is in a far away place and he won't be able to touch it. He'll instead move on from that.]

Precisely! As rock-headed as they come! But as serious and unmovable as a mountain. At least that's what the songs say.

One of the more famous stories he has is one where he thwarted an entire army of demons in one fell swoop with a shower of stone spears. How marvellous, don't you think?
