Pairing: Noelle & Zhongli, Barbara/Noelle (implied), Zhongli & Venti
Summary: Zhongli visits Mondstadt, making a new friend in the process.
“Well if it isn’t my friend from the land of Liyue,” Venti strummed his lyre with a cheeky grin, “what brings you to Mondstadt from so far away?”
Zhongli let out a dry chuckle, “it is good to see you my friend. I believe you are going by the name Venti these days?”
His lyre disappeared with a wave of his hand. “I am, and for you?”
“Just Zhongli if you please. I believe you are acquainted with Lumine?” At Venti’s nod he continued. “She had asked me to accompany her on some of her travels. And since I find myself with a rather large surplus of spare time I decided to join her.”
“And so you’ve come to Mondstadt.”
“Indeed. Is it so strange?”
“I suppose not. Would you like a tour? Perhaps some lunch or maybe you’d like to try some of Mondstadt’s famous wines?”
“I have seen how much you drink, I am not sure wine is such a good idea this early in the day.”
“You’re no fun-oh!” The bard nearly took a tumble as he walked into someone.
“I’ve got you!” Noelle reached out for Barbara and Venti without a second thought, keeping both on their feet with ease. Venti seemed particularly delighted by the circumstances for some reason, while Zhongli was embarrassed over his friend’s lack of attention.
“Careless.” He grumbled at Venti before turning to the two young women. “I must apologize for the bard, are either of you hurt?”
“We’re quite alright, thank you.” Noelle gave a brief curtsy before turning to her friend.
“I’m okay thanks! Hello Venti, it’s been a while!” Barbara was a bit wary of the bard, but had a certain amount of professional respect for him from one musician to another.
Venti bowed and gave them his most charming smile. “My apologies to both you maidens fair, what brings you out into the sun and fresh air?”
“We were planning to get lunch at Good Hunter, but Noelle had to run some errands first.”
“Of course, ever the dutiful maid. But where are my manners?” He ignored Zhongli’s rather pointed cough. “Ladies, this is Zhongli, an old friend of mine from Liyue.” He laughed quickly at his own joke. “Zhongli, this is Barbara, the Deaconess of the Church of Favonius and the Idol of Mondstadt.”
“Idol?”
“She is perhaps the only Idol in all of Teyvat, which is to say she puts on performances where she sings and dances, and it’s wonderful! And here we have the hardest working woman in Mondstadt, Noelle! Currently an irreplaceable, well, maid hardly seems fair, but she is without a doubt, a future Knight of Favonius.”
Noelle blushed. “Thank you for saying so, Venti, but I’m simply doing my duty.”
Barbara stood with her hands on her hips. “No-ELLE we talked about this! You work hard and you deserve recognition for it!”
Noelle jumped at the sudden admonishment, while Venti laughed and the women continued talking. Zhongli waited on the side and took in the scene. His Gnosis had been gone for only a short time, but he still couldn’t resist the urge to stand back and observe people. Then Noelle turned her back to him, he caught a flash of rich gold.
She carried a Geo vision, in Monstadt of all places. Now he was intrigued.
Venti flitted around the women, light on his feet, stepping from one to the other as their spirited discussion continued. Just as the winds come from more than one direction, his attention can be in many places at once.
“Noelle my dear, your hard work is underappreciated, and a knighthood for you is overdue to be created.” Venti bowed to them both. “Now I do have a favor to ask of our darling Deaconess but only if it won’t cause you any stress. Could I trouble you for a bit? I won’t be long. I would love your feedback on an unfinished song.”
Barbara’s hand pressed against her chest, the surprise clear on her face. “M-me? You’d like help from me? But I’m no one-”
“Uh uh uh, none of that my dear, as I believe it was you who made it clear. Just as Noelle must accept the praise of an errant bard and friend, then so too should you. Your lyrics are divine, if I may say, and as of late my own haven’t held the same sway.” He winked at her.
“Noelle, would it be okay if I went with Venti for a bit?”
“Of course! I can get my errands done in no time and then perhaps we can get lunch?”
“It’s a deal!”
“If you would like, I would be glad to accompany you. It has been some time since I have been to the City of Freedom and I could do with a bit of a walk.”
“That would be lovely, thank you. Any friend of Venti’s is a friend of mine.” Noelle curtsied more formally this time.
Zhongli offered her his arm, “shall we begin?”
“As you wish!”
- - -
Their conversation started with the usual small talk, but after a short lull, Zhongli spoke up. “I’ve noticed you have a Geo Vision.”
“Yes. It was rather unexpected.”
“Oh?”
She knew it would hardly be appropriate or kind to disparage Geo Visions in the presence of someone from Liyue who also wielded a Geo Vision. And yet, while there was something about her companion that she couldn’t quite put her finger on, Noelle still felt like she could speak her heart, and trust him to listen without judgement.
“It’s just…Geo is the opposite of Anemo. And for a Knight of Favonius, it seems so out of place. I’ve been, well, I’m still not a Knight, however much I try. Perhaps it’s not meant to be.”
He could hear the disappointment in her voice, but he knew it was with herself, and not her Vision. “Monstadt is the City of Freedom, and more welcoming to outlanders than any of the other nations. Anemo is also the element of freedom, but the very nature of it is to bring change.”
“Change? I’m not sure I understand.” Noelle’s brow furrowed in concentration.
“Change is of course a mutable state just like the wind. And it could be said that the mere presence of steadyfast Geo energy is nothing if not a change in the face of constantly shifting and moving Anemo. The wind may continue to blow, but at some point, one must put their feet on the ground.”
Their discussion paused while they stopped at Mondstadt General Goods and a pattern soon presented itself. Blanche, Marjorie, Wagner and even Sara sought Noelle’s advice or guidance in some way, even though that wasn’t the nature of her visit, if she was visiting at all. As soon as Blanche had packaged her groceries, Sara waved Noelle over to try a recipe she was developing, Blanche and Marjorie needed product recommendations, and Wagner wanted Noelle to test the balance of a new claymore design.
The cool morning light had shifted into the brilliant sunshine of midday as the pair slowly made their way back to Good Hunter.
“Mr. Zhongli?”
“Just Zhongli is fine.”
“Zhongli, you mentioned earlier that the presence of Geo is a change, but what if it’s not a good change?” Her face clouded over with worry.
He let out a soft but not unkind laugh. “Over the course of this morning, I’ve seen how people value your input and contributions. You are a steady presence, and to have someone so reliable and true in your life is a gift.”
She blushed and looked down. “I hadn’t thought about it that way.”
“Perhaps it is because Liyue is the land of contracts, but I’ve always thought of a Vision as a kind of contract.” His voice had dropped slightly, and the kindly timbre had taken on a more serious edge. “Give and take is required, and for all the power a Vision provides, so too must you accept the responsibility it has given you.”
He gave what he hoped was a reassuring smile. “All of that is to say, the fact that you have a Vision, and a Geo Vision no less, only further demonstrates your commitment to your goals and ideals. I have no doubt that you will make an excellent knight, or perhaps even a Grandmaster someday?”
Noelle giggled. “Now you’re just making fun.” But the gratitude was clear on her face.
Zhongli gave her an expression of utmost sincerity but Venti cut him off before he could reply.
“Nonsense, Zhongli is the least fun person I’ve ever met, at a party he’s like a blanket that’s gotten all wet.”
“I’m sure that’s not true!” Barbara chimed in from behind him. “Hello Zhongli and Noelle! Were you able to get your errands done?”
“Oh yes! Zhongli was quite helpful.” She gave him a genuine smile. “Thank you for the company and the conversation, would you both like to join us for lunch?”
“It was my pleasure, but I think we shall have to pass. Venti and I have a previous engagement.”
“Well, if you change your mind, you can find me at the Knights of Favonius headquarters, although I may be quite busy with my training and work.” She gave him a determined smile.
“I will miss your company, but I am sure we will cross paths again. Good day ladies.”
Venti watched them leave before turning to his companion. Before he could say anything Zhongli held up his hand. “Are you satisfied?”
“Whatever do you mean?”
“You are perhaps the least subtle being I have ever encountered.”
Venti chuckled, his expression shifting from an energetic bard to something older, more sly. “Fair enough. Gnosis or not, Barbara is so earnest in her prayers, the wind still carries them my way.”
“Interesting. I do still hear rumblings in the earth as well.”
“I’m surprised she has a Hydro Vision as the darling little Deaconess has a heart of pure gold, and prays for so many. It’s touching, if frustrating given how little I can do. But she’s prayed for Noelle more times than I can count.”
“I am not sure how much I can help with her becoming a knight.”
“She does pray for that, although to be fair, she would have much more luck if she simply talked to her sister, the Acting Grand Master.” Zhongli raised an eyebrow but nodded at him to continue. “But more often than not she prays for her friend to see her own worth.”
“She does not know who I really am.”
“I don’t think she needs to, whatever you said was enough, surely you could see that?”
“I believe so, but it does seem rather meddlesome for you.”
“Hardly. The wind may fill a ship’s sails, but it’s up to the captain to steer the ship to its destination, now about this previous engagement you mentioned?”
“I expected you would have too much to drink at lunch, setting a disgraceful example for those lovely women.” He continued walking. “If you must drink, I shall accompany you.”
“Ya-hoo! That means you’re paying right?”
“Ah, I seem to have misplaced my wallet.”
