Fine. Where?

[He will trust you for now.]

[concierto]

[SUCCESS.]

For this little rendevous I happen to be in a nice tall tree all alone under the stars! And a chilled bottle of red wine I procured. All you have to do is follow the anemo crystalflies.

[threebetrayals]

Why can't you people just speak plainly?

[But he'll go! Please mean this is the last time he'll have to deal with Venti...]

[concierto]

[Yeah, sure. It's totally going to be the last time he'll have to deal with Venti... Not.

Venti will be waiting up in that tree! Patiently waiting and humming a tune with several little anemo crystalflies floating about nearby.]

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer tracks him down easily enough and just takes to the skies, hovering in front of Venti.]

Well?

[concierto]

[How cute. He hovers!!

Venti pats the spot next to him on the branch.]

Won't you sit?

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer rolls his eyes and sits.

On a different branch.]

Why up here?

[concierto]

[Oh a different branch...??]

Is there something wrong with up here? And here I thought we were birds of a feather.

[Anemo!]

[threebetrayals]

Just because I have an anemo vision doesn't mean we have anything in common, you know. It just means we have an anemo vision.

[concierto]

[Venti tilts his head.]

Tell me something, Wanderer? What's so terrible about spending a moment or two with me? You did, in fact, come out all this way so there must be something you like.

[threebetrayals]

I like being left alone, unless I seek someone out. However, I got the feeling you wouldn't have left me alone unless I humored you for a moment.

[Arashi, the kitten who has taken to sleeping on his hat, wakes up just long enough to mew in protest before dozing back off.]

[concierto]

[He giggles...]

More or less! Now isn't this a good opportunity? Oh, is that your new friend?

[He remembers the post about the kitten??]

[threebetrayals]

Yes, Arashi. She likes it up there.

[Don't ask.]

She's friendly enough, if you want to pet her. Most people do.

[concierto]

[...]

No, thanks. I'm quite alright here then.

[threebetrayals]

What, you don't like cats?

[concierto]

Something like that.

[threebetrayals]

[Maybe he should get more then--]

A shame. They're good animals. Less needy, compared to dogs, and quiet.

[concierto]

[No???]

Less personable with others too, I might add.

[Hm, a bit like the Wanderer!]

[threebetrayals]

Perhaps usually. Arashi loves people for some reason, however. She just loves sitting on my hat more.

[concierto]

Oh? I see! Cats are ... a tad too fluffy for me.

[Fluffy- an understatement.]

What a pleasant surprise to see you've found companionship in one, though.

[threebetrayals]

She didn't give me much of a choice, like another girl I know.

[Nahida.]

[concierto]

Is that so?

[Venti winks knowingly. He hasn't learned the truth about Lesser Lord Kusanali yet. But he has his suspicions now.]

But it seems you're happy to have her.

[threebetrayals]

[He scoffs.]

I wouldn't go that far. I'm just used to her.

[concierto]

[Presses x to doubt.]

Ehe, I might wonder if you're not the type to abandon others who might need you?

[threebetrayals]

She's a cat. Cats don't need people.

[Arashi wakes up enough to give Wanderer the most affronted kitty glare she can.]
