"Don't worry, I get it." It was meant to be a tease more than anything. If Morax knew he actually spoke of him like this, he'd never hear the end of it. Not that he wanted to hear from him at all, if it could be helped-

They butt heads too often.

"He's a lot more like a old man, trying to be wise and not really put much emotion into how he reacts to stuff. It makes what he has to say feel stiff most of the time, even if he tends to be right." In other words, he makes it hard to connect with other people, probably on purpose.

Questa apparecchiatura dispone di quattro programmi (che si differenziano per la sequenza con cui avviene il gonfiaggio dei cuscini) e di tre modalità di pressione (bassa, media, alta). Ogni settore dei venti che compongono la tuta è indipendente e può essere regolato in maniera autonoma per quanto riguarda la pressione e i tempi di gonfiaggio.Caratteristiche Tecniche principali

Programmi : 4 Programmi

Modo A, questo programma gonfia dalla zona 0 alla 9. Sgonfia la zona 0 quando la zona 1 è gonfiata e sgonfia la zona 1 quando la zona 2 è gonfiata, quindi va da un’estremità all’altra, salendo progressivamente dai piedi alle braccia, con un tempo di riempimento per zona di 11sec. e un tempo di riposo di 11 sec., fornendo una piacevole sensazione di morbido drenaggio. Infine gonfia da 0 a 9 contemporaneamente, dopodiche? ripete il programma.

Modo B, questo programma gonfia dalla zona 0 alla 9. Si sgonfia la zona 0 quando la zona 2 e? gonfiata e si sgonfia la zona 1 quando la zona 3 e? gonfiata, e quindi sale progressivamente da un lato all’altro, con un tempo di riempimento di 11sec, dopodichè la pressione aumenta per tutto il corpo. Infine gonfia da 0 a 9 contemporaneamente, dopodichè si ripete il programma. La sensazione di pressione è un po ‘più intensa e profonda, generalmente utilizzata per trattamenti di cellulite edematosa, ritenzione di grasso o liquidi, edema.

Modo C, questo tipo di programma gonfia dalla zona 0 alla 9. Inizia a gonfiare dalla zona 0 e aggiunge la zona 1, seguita dalla 2 e cosi’ via, aggiungendo via via zone al processo di gonfiaggio; la pressione dell’aria non si va perdendo contemporaneamente come nellemodalità precedenti, inoltre c’e un tempo di riposo di 11 sec. e infine si ripeterà il programma. Esercita una pressione molto piu? intensa, concentrata sull’addome e sulle cosce. E’ consigliato per clienti con cellulite o adiposità localizzata più spessa su cosce e addome.

Modo D, Il programma D gonfia tutte e tre le zone contemporaneamente: gambe, addome e braccia dall’estremità verso l’alto. E’ una modalità molto più intensa, focalizzata sull’addome e sulle braccia. Consigliata per pesantezza addominale e ritenzione di liquidi a livello delle braccia.

Si possono lavorare zone indipendenti senza utilizzare alcun programma, l’apparecchiatura permette di scegliere ogni parte della tuta e di regolare autonomamente il tempo di riempimento d’aria dell’area da trattare. Tutto ciò che c’è da fare è premere il pulsante della zona desiderata e regolarne l’intensità tramite i tasti “+” e “-” di 0 15.

Coffee Shop Soundtrack (Loki x Reader)

Here’s a fluffy coffee shop AU that absolutely no one asked for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dedicated to @devilstrip pls enjoy this steaming-pile-of-shit-fic

**THIS CONTAINS NO INFINITY WAR SPOILERS**

His hand enveloped yours, and you froze.

It was a light feeling. A delicate touch that left your stomach tied in knots and your body tingling from adrenaline. The tips of his fingers rested over your knuckles, and stayed still, even as you twitched. It was an oddly intimate feeling, something extraordinarily gentle and human, which was the last thing you expected from someone like him. But it was nice. And you were losing yourself in your own fantasies. Your entire life had apparently been leading up to this moment, and you—

“May I have my coffee, please?”

You blinked as your brain caught up to speed on the current situation. Somehow the star-struck mix of shock and fear masqueraded as something romantic. This wasn’t love. It was just the feeling of being in the presence of a god.

“Sorry, yeah,” you released the cup and carefully snaked your hand back.

The look of calm remained on his face as he sighed heavily and muttered a brisk thank you, then walked away before you had the chance to return the pleasantry. You almost laughed at how ridiculous it was to think that you’d be able to say anything, anyways. You’d become something of a fish out of water; mouth awkwardly gaping as you gasped for air. Or words. Both were lost to you, regardless.

To your surprise, he took a seat in the back corner, rather than leaving. A bold move, seeing as he was hated by most of the general public for the stunts he pulled in New York a few years back. What was he doing back on Earth, anyways?

You got your answer as he pulled out a book.

Reading. Loki, god of mischief, brother of Thor, was sitting in a Starbucks, reading. And not one person seemed to care…not that there was even anyone around to notice.

Running your hand down your face, you checked your watch. It was almost 1am, and the skies were cloudy. The weather channel had been warning your area of a massive storm for nearly a week, and it was bound to start soon. High winds. Flash floods. The whole kit and caboodle. But your rent was due in a few weeks, and you were going to pay it, even if it meant drowning in sewer water and coffee.  

There was something surreal about being in a Starbucks during ridiculous hours of the night. Time seemed to slow, and despite the soft music in the background, there was a sort of silence that made you feel like you were teetering on the border of your dimension and a hazy dream. You could see the city lights outside your window, and if you squinted enough, Lake Michigan would appear on the horizon. There were always cars, even if they were few and far in between. There were always customers, too, who wandered in with the same frequency as the cars. Maybe fewer. And they all wanted the same thing: a large black coffee. These were not the type of people to use fancy words like venti, or ask for frilly drinks. They kept to themselves. They just wanted to get their caffeine fix and move on.

“Won’t one of your contraptions boil over and explode if you don’t pay closer attention?” He asked suddenly.    

“Uh, no,” you mumbled, feeling embarrassed that he caught you staring. You took a quick glance around your station, anyways, just to be safe.

He made a small, disinterested noise in response, as he licked his thumb and turned the page. The silence between you was now very awkward. At least on your end.

Looking for a way to busy yourself, you went to fumble with the music. It was one of the perks of working late hours: you were freed from the usual playlist of the same dozen songs. As long as you kept the volume soft and switched things back by the time your shift ended, you could listen to anything. Tonight, you opted for something relaxing, but with a steady tempo—the sort of thing that was good to clean to—and grabbed a mop.

Outside, you could hear rain begin hitting the pavement. Thunder rumbled in the distance and you cringed. You hated storms—or at least the noisy ones.

“I don’t care much for them, either.”

You clutched the handle of the mop and forced a smile. “I didn’t know you could read minds, too.”

“I can read frightened humans clutching brooms.”

“It’s…a mop…” A weak counter, but you were trying to process the fact that he’d so casually called you a human. The word rolled off his tongue as if he was speaking to a pet.

“I’m sorry. A mop,” he quipped and closed his book.

You ran your thumb over the grain of the handle. “So can you call your brother and ask him to lay off the thunder?”

“This is nature, not my brother,” he looked out the window and something bittersweet crossed his features. “He likes to put on a much bigger spectacle—“

“Are you actually him?” You blurted. “Are you actually Loki? Or are you just one of those assholes that resembles a celebrity and just rolls with it when people mistake you for the real deal so you can laugh about it later?”

“I’m a celebrity?”

“I can’t think of a better word. Villain sounds too comic book-y.”

“And would you be afraid if I was him?”

“No.” You straightened yourself out, and latched onto the thread of hope that maybe he wasn’t the ethereal being you’d mistaken him for. Maybe he was just some weirdo. In which case, you had pepper spray in your back pocket if things got out of hand. “Loki wouldn’t be stupid enough to come back here. And even if he was, he wouldn’t pick Chicago to hide out in. Not when it’s so close to his last fuckup.”

“You make some excellent points,” he chuckled. “But you’re a bit off the mark.”

In a swift motion he held his hand up, and a thin piece of metal materialized in a flash of green light. Without a second thought, he tucked it between the pages of his book, and shut it.

“That was…so…extra.”

For a moment he seemed taken aback; disappointed that this human wasn’t falling down, shocked and impressed and maybe a bit fearful of his power. But he had to remind himself that this wasn’t why he was here. This wasn’t why he was in this form. This wasn’t why the storm raged so violently outside.

“I’ve been called many things, but extra is not one of them.”

***

Four cups of coffee later, and you were seated across from him, laughing as if you’d known each other for years. He told you about his brother. His sister. His father. His mother. His home. He asked you about the music you played, and why someone like you was in a place like this, and what your aspirations were; a reminder that questions like those used to be genuine before the douche bags of the world got hold of them.  

He made little trinkets disappear and reappear, at your wide-eyed requests. In turn, you showed him how to draw hearts and swirls in latte foam. It wasn’t nearly as impressive as what he could do, but from the way he seemed so enamored by your words, one wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

You were hunched over, forming the outline of a cat when a particularly loud crack of lighting rattled the windows. Startled, you dropped your utensil into the mug, and cursed.

“Dammit. That was the best one I’d ever done.”

‘You could always try again,” he replied, waving his hand fluidly over the mug to make the foam flat and white once more.

Pursing your lips together, you stared at the coffee, and then looked up to meet his eyes.

“Why are you here? Why sit in a shitty coffee shop in Chicago when you could be literally anywhere else in the world?”

“Because,” he laced his fingers together and rested his elbows on the table, “I made a promise to my brother and his wizard friend that I’d remain within a certain radius of them. This city is as far away as I could get without breaking that promise.”  

“And this specific place?”

“I came in here by chance, saw something I liked, and decided to stay,” there was a sort of sheepish tone to his voice.

“Well…I’m glad you did. And if you’d like, maybe I could show you around a little. It’s a great city.”

“I’d very much like that.”

His lips were soft against yours as he leaned in to kiss you, and his skin was cool to the touch. It had a magnetic quality to it that drew you in deeper and deeper, until you kissed him with such fervor that you thought you might drown in him. Outside, the storm started to subside; a coincidence that made the moment all the more poetic. Lord help you if this didn’t work out in the end, because you knew that nobody on this Earth could ever kiss you like that.

***

For the first time in a long time, Loki was feeling good. Truly, honestly, purely, good. The sun was just coming up, and already the streets were filled with sleepy drivers yawning the whole way to work. Perhaps if he was alone any longer, then an actual bounce would’ve worked its way into his step, but his moment was rudely interrupted.

“So how did it go, brother?”

He choked on his coffee and looked to the side. There was Thor, chipper as ever, with a mischievous smile on his face. This was one in only a handful of times that he’d ever managed to sneak up on Loki, and he was sure he wouldn’t hear the end of it.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I think you do.”

“I don’t.”

“Come now, brother,” Thor scoffed, matching his pace. “We could do this all day. You being coy and stupid; me, feigning naivety. Back and forth, back and forth, stupid and naïve, stupid and naïve,” Thor slung his arm over Loki as he spoke, “But in the end, I think we’re just postponing the inevitable.”

“And what might that be?”

“That in 1500 years, you still can’t get a date. Not even with my help—”

“Oh, were those sparkles outside yours?” Loki halted and shook his brother’s arm off his shoulders.

Thor narrowed his eyes. Months later and the Grandmaster’s pet name was still a sore spot. Loki could only hope it’d stay that way for at least another thousand years or so. There was just so much fun to be had with it.

“I try to help you, and this is the thanks I get.”

“Terrifying the poor thing with a storm is not help.”

Thor huffed and crossed his arms, clearly offended.

“I only meant to encourage closeness—“

“Loki!”

Both men turned at the sound of your voice as you jogged towards them. There was a brief falter in your steps as you realized Thor was there. He was nearly unrecognizable from behind after his apparent haircut. You cleared your throat, awkwardly.

“Hey, you forgot your book…”

“Did I? Ah, well thank you,” he replied lightly and took it from your outstretched hand.

“No problem. I’ll see you next week, then?”

“Yes. And I suspect the weather will be much nicer,” Loki shot a sideways glance at his companion.

“Sounds good, I’ll see you then,” you smiled and gave a small wave as you walked away, feeling very proud of yourself for keeping your composure.

As you turned the corner and disappeared from sight, Loki drummed his fingers against the cover of the book. A content grin crossed his features.

“See, brother? I didn’t need your sparkles, after all.”

“Sing?” Reki gave him a look, “you want us to… sing.”

If your wish is pure of heart, they will grant it, together.

But who knows if such a tale is true, right?

He had exams to study for, sleep he had to get so he wouldn’t be dead in the morning. This was a mistake, a worthless, worthless mist-

“Good evening, everyone!!” A cheerful voice rang out and Xiao looked up at the stage to see a boy with black braided hair, green emerald eyes, dressed up in a cute outfit with an adorable smile as he beamed at the crowd as if everyone was his personal friend and he was happy to see them.

Xiao’s jaw fell open from the sight of him, his eyes going wide.

As he started singing and dancing as if he was happy to be alive, Xiao could feel his heart beating faster and faster, his cheeks getting redder and redder.

Is this really what angels look like?

He was about to get his heart calm when…

Venti's eyes met with his for a second and he beamed at him, waving at him as if he was overjoyed to see him.

Oh, that did it. He was doomed now.

He has now fallen into an impossible love with an idol who doesn't even know him.

       And he only smiled adoringly at him as if he was the most beautiful person he had ever seen. And Dazai was the most beautiful person he had ever seen and would ever want to see. Chuuya said nothing, only putting a gentle hand, caressing Dazai’s cheek as he pulled his hand away from his mouth so the same treatment he gave his left arm can be given to his right.

       No words were spoken. They didn’t need to be. Dazai understood the message Chuuya was giving him and it was breaking him but he didn’t mind it. It just felt so overwhelming to know that he was loved.

     “Sanji!” Luffy glared at him, propping himself up on his elbows as he slapped Sanji’s chest. “You know full well that tomorrow isn’t my birthday!”

     Sanji only laughed and brought his angry love back into his hold, “I know, I know, I’m sorry,” he chuckled and this time kissed him for real, making Luffy melt against him instantly. He pulled back to stare into those chocolate brown eyes he’s come to adore and decided to quit teasing the poor man.

      “It’s our wedding day,” he said softly, watching as those darling eyes widened and a blush dusted his husband-to-be’s cheeks.

“A little bit, sir,” Dazai stammered, sliding into his role quickly. “But only to make sure it was at a shock level comfortable for me.”

         “Ohhh, just for that, hmm?” Chuuya hummed, a dark smirk playing on his lips, “you didn’t touch yourself either? I should hope you didn’t because that’s a very important rule that I had hoped a good little boy like you would follow.”

         “N-No,” Dazai stammered, “I promise, I didn’t touch myself at all.”

         “I-I’m not supposed to prepare toys that can cause pain and adjust them for myself by myself,” Dazai said, whimpering as Chuuya covered his jaw in kisses. He grinned, a rush of mischief overwhelming his senses, “I’m supposed to let Daddy help me.”

           Platforms: Ao3 (Link in Title)

“Please!” He choked out, “Please, don’t go! They’ll kill you - you know they’re going to kill you - you know it!”Chuuya sobbed, raking his hands down his back. He wasn’t angry, not really, he just felt so hopeless. He had to touch him, everywhere and really touch him. This was going to be the last time he touched him and he wanted to make sure he remembered it.

Dazai tightened his arms around him. He, too, wasn’t angry. His heart was shattering like a piece of sugar glass. Falling apart like 100 year old paper. Why did things have to come to this? Maybe if this was happening long before he fell so deeply in love with this man, he'd be happy about this situation. It once was his dream after all.

      Platforms: Ao3 (Link in Title)

      Summary: Before there was time, there were two Gods, the God of the Sun and God of the Moon.

One such demigod was the demigod of mischief and death, Dazai.

People would come to him to pray for loved ones or for themselves not to reach untimely deaths or to pray for mischievous things (which was always Dazai’s favorite matter to take care of.)

And while Dazai did revel in the power that he had, he also hated it. Dealing with the matters of death was depressing to him, but what he hated most was how the relationship between mortal and god worked.

Dazai had been warned several times that the relationship between mortal and god had to be distanced. But he never listened to such advice.

But there then came a day where his whole life changed. He met a man with fiery red hair and beautiful blue eyes, a man so gorgeous, so lovely, that he had to have him as his own.

Before Ethan could even finish his words, Chris wrapped a hand around the back of his head, his gloved fingers lacing with his hair while the other hand pushed the baby further into his grasp. Ethan didn’t have time to question the movement because the next thing he knew, Chris’s lips were on his own. His eyes widened as Chris pushed him further into the kiss, deepening it as his eyes slowly fluttered closed.

The kiss was warm and sweet, gentle and loving, it was everything he could ever want. It was short, too. Chris pulled away before he had a chance to kiss back.“

I’m not going to lose you." Chris said, "Not again.”

“Nope,” Chuuya shook his head, “not dada.”

“But Chuuya~!” Dazai whined.

“Dazai, are you serious right now? It’s a kid and not even our kid!” Chuuya said, always being the voice of reason.“

But Chuuya, look at him!” Dazai smiled, lifting the boy onto his lap, “he looks just like us and plus we’d make such good parents! You’d make such a good dad, I just know it.”

Chuuya sighed angrily, reaching for a napkin and wiped at the little boy’s face. “Fine! We can at least have fun with him until we can find his parents, okay?!”

        Platforms: Ao3 (Link in Title)

        Summary: Dazai couldn’t quite place it even if he wanted to.

He knew there was something he was forgetting but he couldn’t quite place it. And to be quite honest, a part of him knew he didn’t really want to.

“What are you doing here, sitting so silently?” Said the adorable redhead leaning over him, blocking the sun from his eyes. So much for peace and quiet, Dazai thought, playfully. His peace could be ruined by Chuuya any second of the day if he so wished to.

“Enjoying the weather,” Dazai answered, watching as the sun made Chuuya’s eyes appear as if they were literal sapphires, all sparkly and beautiful.

“Really? You?” Chuuya grinned, “you usually never enjoy the weather.”

Dazai chuckled. He sometimes took pleasure in the small things… Even though it was rare.

He knew whatever he was forgetting, it had to do with Chuuya. But he wasn’t going to focus on it. He’d rather focus on how gorgeous he looked today; his red hair glowing like flames and his denim jacket somehow looking even sexier on him than it did the day before.

Dazai could melt from the sight of Chuuya in that jacket but... he knew something was wrong. And it's been that way ever since that day in July.

Ever since he married his beautiful wife and began to sleep in the same bed with her, he couldn’t sleep nor stay asleep unless he felt her warmth beside him. He just couldn’t do it as much as it frustrated him. He had very, very, very few weaknesses and one of them just had to be something so petty like Grelle’s presence beside him whenever he did… well… anything.

So where could she have gone?

On any other day, he would be smiling, thinking of flowery words that could match the way this scene appeared to him. But right now, he couldn’t do such a thing.

Because he was too busy thinking about the dream he had last night. A dream about a world called Teyvat, in a beautiful city called Inazuma.

Normally, anyone would shrug off these dreams. However, Kazuha has these dreams every single night as the season of fall dwells closer.

And in every dream, there's always a man, a man whom he doesn't know nor has he ever met... yet somehow he knows that this man is important to him.

As if he is someone he lost long ago and has been missing ever since.

Chic & Gold: Guerlain Christmas 2017 Makeup Collection

Inspired by Hemingway's "Paris Est une Fête" book, Guerlain Noel 2017 makeup collection is a celebration of all that preciousness the Ville Lumière of the Roaring Twenties had to offer.

Guerlain Christmas 2017 makeup collection: the Great Gatsby mood

The references are all there, from the Art Deco design of the packaging, to the golden reflections that recall the grandeur of the time up to the Great Gatsby style that plays as the fil rouge of the whole collection. Think about paillettes and champagne bubbles, think about gold and metallics and you will have an idea of the mood of Guerlain Noel 2017 makeup collection. 

The Must have produced of the Guerlain Christmas 2017 makeup collection

What are in my opinion the must-have products? The Gold Guerlain Palette, the Météorite Gold Pearl, the Terracotta in Gold Light and the Gold Light Top Coat.

The Guerlain Gold Palette

The Guerlain Gold Palette is a makeup set for face, lips and eyebrows whose textures are easy to apply, have a great color pay off, can be used wet & dry and builded on as desired. Perfect for traveling and for always have the Guerlain “Gold & Chic” style at handy. 

The Météorite Gold Pearl

The second one is THE legend. Enclosed in a golden packaging that is all to be showed off, the Météorite pearls in the Gold Pearl shade (white, yellow, gold and champagne) and are a real luxury that gives a touch of extra brightness with an exquisite gesture d’antan.

The Terracotta Gold Light

Same concept but different payoff is that of Terracotta Gold Light, a golden highlighter that can be builded up to get a daily glowy finish or something more dazzling in the evening.

The Gold Light Top Coat

The Gold Light Top Coat, finally, adds the ultimate touch to the eyes by embellishing lashes with gold shimmers. Apply it on the tip of the eyelashes and in the inner corner of the eye to intensely enhance your gaze.

The Rouge G for blondes and brunettes

And what about the lips? Red is in the spotlight thanks to two Rouge G, one for the brunettes, the 822 Glamourous Cherry Red and one for the blondes, the 823 Flaming Red.

Let's face it, Guerlain this year has everything covered!

 La collezione di Natale di Guerlain è Chic & Gold e si ispira agli Anni Venti de Il Grande Gatsby

Si ispira agli anni Venti e al libro “Paris Est une Fête” di Hemingway la collezione Noel 2017 di Guerlain, una vera e propria esaltazione di tutto ciò che di prezioso la Ville Lumière dei Roaring Twenties aveva da offrire.

I riferimenti ci sono tutti, l’Art Deco rivive sui packaging, il grandeur del tempo nei riflessi dorati che fanno da fil rouge a tutta la collezione e lo stile alla Grande Gatsby non manca di certo.

I prodotti must have della collezione Noel 2017 di Guerlain

I prodotti must-have? La Palette Gold Guerlain, le Météorite Gold Pearl, la Terracotta Gold Light e il Gold Light Top Coat. 

La Guerlain Gold Palette

La Palette Gold Guerlain è un set makeup per viso, labbra e sopracciglia le cui texture sono facili da applicare, possono essere usate wet & dry, possono essere sovrapposte e hanno una favolosa resa di colore. Perfetta per viaggiare e avere sempre tutto lo stile Gold&Chic di Guerlain a portata di mano.

Le Météorite Gold Pearl

La seconda, invece, è leggenda. Racchiuse in un packaging dorato tutto da esibire, le Météorite si declinano nelle tonalità Gold Pearl (bianco, giallo, orsa e champagne) e sono un vero e proprio lusso che donano un tocco di luminosità in più con un gesto squisitamente d’antan.

Il Gold Light Top Coat

Il Gold Light Top Coat, infine aggiunge il tocco finale allo sguardo impreziosendolo con pagliuzze dorate. Applicatelo sia sulla punta delle ciglia sia nell’angolo interno dell’occhio per illuminare intensamente lo sguardo.

La Terracotta Gold Light e i rossetti Rouge G

A scaldare l’incarnato ci pensa poi Terracotta Gold Light, un highlighter dorato che si può modulare per ottenere un finish illuminante di giorno e abbagliante la sera; mentre le labbra vengono messe in risalto da due Rouge G, uno per le brune, l’822 Glamourous Cherry Red e uno per le bionde, ‘823 Flaming Red.

Ammettiamolo, Guerlain quest’anno ha pensato proprio a tutto!

@eternalstarlights requested a starter

Venti is being, well, Venti. The everyday bard that went around from place to place during the happy hours of the taverns, playing songs for the sake of a tip-- And hopefully a drink as well. What better way for him to spend his days? It was perfect, getting him what he wanted and needed all at once.

The alcohol and desire of it was only part of it, after all. He could keep an eye on his people much more easily this way, little did people realize. It was a great way to see that they were content and happy, as humans tended to be truthful when drunk. If they were joyus and happy, it tended to spell good tidings that everything was well. If depressed and upset, that meant there was a potential issue that could be kept an eye on for the time being. He'd only actively help when the situation truly called it, after all.

That was the freedom he offered his people, and he refused to take it away.

"Thank you, thank you!~" He chimed, having finished yet another of his songs. He seemed to be gaining in popularity as of late, especially since he tended to use the Traveler's adventures for his songs. They definitely make for a good story for drunkards to hear, apparently. "I'll be here at the same time tomorrow, so look forward to my latest ballad I'll have in store for you."

He was at his last location for the night, anyway, so it was the prefect time to relax for a bit.

[galaxy-0f-muses]

"Nothing wrong with sharing a bottle, right?" He asked, making sure that it was alright with her. If not, he did have a glass on hand to give her, but he figured that it would be easier to just share, instead.

Not like it bothered him, it'd be far from the first time he's done it.

Hearing the pop of the bottle opening, it was akin to the sound of victory for him. After all, it has been a bit hard getting ahold of such fine quality bottles, specially because of Diluc. Not that he'd say such things out loud, of course. "I agree, dare I say he has some of the finest stuff Mondstadt has to offer, even!" Some of the older drinks were definitely something to behold in the day, though-

"Would I? Absolutely. Do you have a glass? Or are we sharing the bottle?" She didn't even seem remotely deterred by this--she often used to share bottles like that with her Brother. She considered it normal.

She took the bottle in hand and carefully opened it up, conscious of how high they were right now and how dropping it would be the worst thing imaginable.

"It smells divine. Master Diluc definitely ensures the quality of his wine."

[galaxy-0f-muses]

He was glad that seemed to be content at the moment, at the very least. It was the intention of him dragging her off from everyone else, even her flying companion, just so that she could feel a momentary sense of freedom that she may not be able to have with most others. He hoped that she was comfortable enough around him, and it seemed to be just the case.

As if by magic, he pulled out that bottle of wine that she seemed too excited about, a grin forming on his face. "Do you wanna do the honors of opening this brand new bottle, my dear?~"

Right. People often treated Venti as a younger person because of his appearance, but at the same time she couldn't exactly blame him when he was hiding his identity. it wasn't like he had some sort of Identification Card that proved he was several thousand years old.

"I think you did your best too." Maybe her opinion didn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but she had seen how he cared for his people.

He simply wanted them to not be bound by the constraints of living constantly under the watchful eyes of an archon. That sort of thing could change how an entire country operated. He would know that very well. Whatever his relationship with celestia, she knew that he would make the right decision.

Her eyes sparkled deviously as he said he would pull out some wine and she turned to him with determination in her gaze. "Finally, I can enjoy alcohol again!" She huffed, anywhere else it hadn't been a problem. But here?

Who were they to tell her she was underage? She was older than all of them!

He always did tend to pay attention to the crowd. Noticing the natives, travelers, and everyone in between. Making sure they have fun and enjoy themselves. And, of course, see if they leave any form of tip for the entertainment. How else was he supposed to make it seem as if he was able to make a decent living if people didn't leave enough tips to survive? Venti was always one to pay attention to such things, especially if it meant that he could buy a bottle of his usual from somewhere and spend some time away somewhere enjoying himself.

The Archon, however, did take notice of someone that he had never seen before. He figured it was a traveler, exploring the city and having simply caught interest in what seemed to be an event to most with the crowd that formed. There is not much to think about, truthfully. Even if they seemed. . . Different.

As long as no trouble was caused, there was no need to worry. And besides, he felt no malice from her, so he wasn't going to ponder too much on it.

That was until the other approached him as he was getting ready to head to the next destination to perform. Nothing too odd, considering most people did come and ask questions when they didn't know much about Bards and what it was, exactly, that they did. "Why, thank you!" He formed a gleeful smile, doing a slight bow of thanks toward the other. A big part of why he enjoyed it was because it offered people the reassurance that Mondstadt, both as a city and nation, was a welcoming place to be.

"I come by here every few days to play a couple songs from my repertoire when I'm in the city. But I perform just about anything that catches my interest. There's always new music coming in and out of Mondstadt, so you could say that I have quite a wide range of things I could pull out and sing. Or, if I felt like it, I could come up with something entirely new on the fly if I really wanted to." He enjoyed doing that, at times. It was a good way to exercise the mind and lyrical strings.

She shouldn’t be doing this. She knew that but she couldn’t help it. As Athena, it was very important that the saints watch over her, making sure no danger will happen to her but she wanted freedom. She was tired of constantly being watch over them. She had always craved freedom from all of this when younger and while she had accepted her duty as Athena, that didn’t mean she didn’t sometimes craved the freedom to go wherever she wanted and do whatever she want. She missed the days when she was able to go and do whatever she wanted with her brother and friend because she was an orphan that nobody cared about.

Feeling a little rebellious, she decided to sneak out, hoping that none of her guards found out. She was in Mondstadt, the region of Freedom and the acting grandmaster had told her about how safe Mondstadt was so she was not worried.

While exploring the city, she heard some music and she couldn’t help but move towards it. It reminded her of Calvera’s tavern. Music, alcohol, laughter, it made her miss Calvera. When she went in, she could see a bard singing about a grand adventure along with many other drunk men singing along. She almost couldn’t help herself but sing along as well. When the bard finished, he said his goodbye and looked like he was about to leave. As she approached closer to the bard, she had a feeling that this was no normal bard. There was something about him that told her there was more that meet the eye. Perhaps it was her intuition?

“Hello, that was a wonderful song you sang back there. What kind of songs do you sing? Do you sing here often?”

"Yeahh, it's why I don't exactly. . . 'Get along' with him'." He admitted, rubbing the back of his head with a forced chuckle. "I don't like being treated like that. I'm not young either, and I'd like to think that I did what was best for the people." He knew most of the other Archons didn't believe that, but he was there when they needed him, and he thought that was the important thing. They're able to handle themselves, why did they need some god babying them?

He perked up at the mention of dandelion wine, before feeling a grin form on his face. "Of course! I'm always willing to share some with you, Lumine. I've always got a few on hand at any time, I can pull them all out so you can take your pick."

Damn it, Venti!

She papped her own cheeks and then shook her head a bit in an effort to dispel the blush. "That's true. I...might not be exactly young myself, but sometimes I feel like a child when I talk to him. I don't like it." She admitted, shuffling a bit.

Still, she couldn't exactly fault people for treating her like a child with her appearance, but she was more than old enough to drink!

Venti would understand those problems, at least.

"....Have you gotten your hands on any dandelion wine?" She asked after a moment, "...that you might be inclined to share with me?"
