Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've written anything on here. So yeah. This isn't meant to be a romantic pairing, but a friendship pairing given how these two are friends in game canon. Part of me wondered how Venti initially reacted to the news that Rex Lapis had "died" before he realized that it was faked. Also timing may be weird, but just roll with it

To Learn of a Friends Passing
(Cross-posted to my Wattpad AgentKenobi, eventually to AO3)
CW: mentions of death, perhaps poor writing, maybe a bit OOC?? Idk. Short, like 700 words.

"Did you hear? Liyue's archon fell from the sky during the Rite of Descension. They say he was murdered."
Venti stopped in his tracks as he overheard the conversation between the two people near Mondstat's fountain.
'Murdered? Morax was murdered???' The thought alarmed Mondstat's archon. How could one of his oldest friends suddenly turn up murdered, and at his own custom too. 'There's no way.'
Venti lingered nearby, pretending to tune his lyre while leaning on a railing, as he hoped to hear more about what happened in Liyue. After all, if what they claim is true, he must know more. Morax was one of his oldest friends, if he lost another friend…..
"Yes, I did! And the Qixing say that the Honorary Knight is responsible for it!"
'The traveller?!!' Venti stiffened slightly, 'but that does not make sense.'
"Ah, the Qixing don't know who actually did it, I don't think the Honorary Knight would actually pull such a feat. They only blamed them because they ran away from the scene. Rumors say they're heading for the Adepti to tell them what happened."
The pair of civillians meandered off, leaving the bard to his own thoughts. Pushing off the railing he was leaning on, the anemo archon made his way towards the city gaits. He would go to Liyue and find out more about what happened to his dearest friend himself.
‘It would have probably been at minimum two days since these events had happened,’ Venti mused as he used the wind currents to travel towards Liyue, ‘word between Liyue and Mondstat takes time still. This would have given the Traveller time to meet with the Adepti.’
If the Adepti were like he remembers them to be, they would first consult with each other before deciding on a course of action. He suspected they’d choose to go to Liyue Harbor and demand answers……or retribution. The wrath of the Adepti would not be good for the people, especially when the matter they are upset about is their beloved god and friend.
The thought made him urge his current to move a little faster.
He landed by one of the Statue of the Seven sharpened after the Lord of Geo. From where Venti had landed, he could see activity on the docks of the Harbor. Mountain Shaper, Moon Carver, Cloud Retainer, and the Conqueror of Demons stood on the dock, discussing something with the Traveller and the Tianshen of the Qixing.
‘What have I missed? What had occurred down there?’ The bard wondered as the Adepti started to leave the docks, headinn towards their mountain and inn homes.
“Hello old friend,” a familiar deep voice spoke out behind him. The bard whipped around, eyes widening for a second in surprise as he registered the man before him.
“Is that you, Rex Lapis?” He asked, staring at the very god who had been said to have died. “The word that came to Mondstat was that you had died!”
“It is me, yes, I go by Zhongli now. I hear you go by Venti, am I correct” the amber eyed man paused to let the bard nod before continuing, “for all intents and purposes, Rex Lapis is dead to Liyue. I have decided to retire as the Geo Archon, to live amongst my people as one of them.”
‘Zhongli now huh?’ Venti noted before he opened his mouth, “Well, I’m glad to see you’re not dead, you old blockhead. You gave me quite the scare for a second.”
Zhongli only chuckled before motioning to walk down the path towards the mountains of the Adepti. “Come, let me tell you what has passed during the last few days.”
This is Myriam Louise. My Genshin OC. Couldn’t decide between blue or yellow for her outfit, so have both. She is the half of the ship this blog is about that I created. The other half is Albedo
Myriam was born in Liyue, however shortly after her birth her family moved to Fontaine. After the prophecy came to completion and Fontaine was saved, Myriam left Fontaine and moved to Mondstat. Here she joined the knights as a biologist, and ended up eventually working with Albedo on a project. (Basic gist of how they met, still developing the rest).

More Info under the cut ( Speedpaint, Other Tumblr Accs)
Hey! So I don’t draw humans often, I am more familiar with drawing equines and animals. So I’m still developing my style for humans. Please bear with me as I try and learn how to beat draw humans for me.
Hello! If you are receiving this notification, it is because you interacted with the Operarion Queerantine post prior to a June 1st, qualifying you to enter the Queerantine spaces.
The post got more popular than I anticipated, and I a singular person suddenly had to add well over a thousand people using a shitty unstable website lol. This is why I had to come up with an alternative! There are two options.
1. If you still want to join the Queerantine chats- what I am going to do is put them in an isolated tag that no one would look for. There you should be able to search the tag, and find the chat room and request to join. If you can’t it’s because tumblr search sucks lmao. The tag is #sfhk2479 and is located at the base of this post.
2. The other alternative is the Amino we created, which has a lovely and relatively active community of 47 people. We just heald our first successful watch party! People post art, rants, memes, all the good stuff. This join link is only active for the next three days and after that it will become inactive.

Thank you for your interest in this queer space , and for your patience with the complications!
