Right, I put much thought into that answer… I smile at Diluc before laying back and closing my eyes lightly. I hope I can take liquor as good as my character, or I'm screwed.
I could feel Venti moving about aimlessly, I quietly sigh under my breathe, unsure on what to do.
After what seemed like forever, the bell on the door rings once again. My body involuntarily stiffens as I peak my eyes open, the wooden floor creaks as the weight of about two people moves on it. I could already sense how annoyed Diluc was.
"KaEyAaaa, sis Rosariaaaaa!??" As Venti slurs on his words, he walks over to the door in glee, bouncing up and down.
Hearing who he called out, I almost choke on the last of my wine, embarrassed, I cough under my breath lightly.
"OH, OHHHHH," Ventis bouncing gets heavier and he walks over to my side, "look, look. This is an angel! She's uh.." Venti stops to think for a moment, he looks at me then back to the direction of Kaeya and Rosaria and shakes his head as he looks back to my direction.
"Y/n…" I mutter under my breath. He nods his head and repeats my name proudly.
"Yes, we seem to have met before." Kaeya grins at me before sitting down on the stool to my left. "I didn't get a chance to introduce myself either" he holds out his hand, "Kaeya, Knight of Favonious. Cavalry Captain, though the Grand Master has taken all the cavalry from Mondstadt, meaning there's no Calvary for me to captain heh…" he shakes my hand briefly.
"Y/n came here from somewhere farrrr!" Venti exclaims. He looks around suspiciously before leaning in towards Kaeya to whisper in his ear, "But between you and me…I believe they're secretly an angel from Celestia. Maybe sent by the anemo archon himself…"
"Barbatios?" Rosaria questions in Ventis ear, which made him jump back.
Kaeya chuckled, "Now now little bard, I'm sure y/n can introduce themself."
"Oh..alright.." Venti pouts, but obediently walks to a corner after grabbing a bottle. He turns to Rosaria, "And it's Barbatos!" He then begins to down the bottle.
Rosaria takes a seat next to Kaeya and raises her hand to order. "Y/n, right? Welcome to Mondstadt."
"Yes…thank you guys. Venti is correct, I'm traveling from somewhere else for a bit."
"Much like the new traveler then?" Kaeya's smile never leaves his face, but he looks at me suspiciously.
Venti comes out of his corner with a wide smile "Hmm? Y/n! Do you know the traveler?!?!"
"We met outside of Mondstadt today…don't really know them and their little mascot." I then direct the question back to him, "Why, do you know the traveler so soon?"
"Ah..not really." Venti sighs before taking the last stool and continuing, "But we all saw how amazing they were against the storm. Wind-born travelers for afar…" he says with a dreamy smile.
Hmm, so I've gone to a reality where Venti is a bit of a creep…good to know.
"Oi, why the strange looks! I've done nothing…aiya aiya" he looks around and with a 'hmph' he turns away.
"Well, y/n. The gates of Mondstadt are always open to new comers. Now is just an unfortunate time to visit here, our beloved Mondstadt isn't in its best state." Kaeya let's put a deep sigh and gulps down his drink.
Rosaria continues Kaeyas train of thought, "Even with the help of that new traveler, Stromterror won't be gone for long. Maybe all of Mondstadt is doomed."
Diluc scoffs, "It doesn't seem like something a passing traveler should concern themself with, maybe if that archon of ours would appear."
"For once I somewhat agree with reddie here. Though Barbatos hasn't been seen around here in a long while, what are the chances he shows for one of the winds?" Kaeya then turns to me with a smile, "Well, snowflake, I do hope you enjoy your time here and find the time to visit again when this "storm" passes over. Unless you plan to stay here for some time anyway?"
"Yes, I do plan to stay for a while. But, is there anyway for me to rent a house?" I had already came up with the conclusion to stay in Mondstadt for as long as I needed to, I have no memory of why I'm here and I barely remember who I am. Best to stick to "my" story.
"OOOO OOO, Y/N Y/N! You can stay with meeee!" Venti jumps up and down with delight
Diluc let's out a soft chuckle as if he's heard something amusing.
"Hey, I may not have much…but there's enough hay for two!" Venti grunts in frustration before stomping back off into that lone corner.
All of this would have undoubtedly made me laugh out loud if I still weren't so freaked out. The initial shock of being here has worn off, but the after shock is big. And I truly am worried about how Ill get by with no money nor home. Despite this, I force a smile onto my face.
Rosaria turns to me, "If you need a place to crash, Kathrine from the adventures guild should have some available."
I nod in acknowledgment.
Maybe it was the wine and the result of me thinking too much, but a sudden drowsiness came over me. "I'll go check that out now, it's getting late." Hopefully when I wake up again, I'll be home, wherever that is. I get up from the stool as I give a polite smile to everyone. Well, if I do end up back to my real home it would be a shame to just leave them behind, after all it's my dream come true to be here in Teyvat and meet everyone. As I was lost in thought I hadn't noticed that my eyes stopped on Kaeya while I was scanning over everything.
"Hm? Well, if there aren't any rooms available with the adventures guild, I can always make room for you, darling" Kaeya teases, which catches me completely off guard.
"N-no need!" I did not want to take the chance of me saying anything more and it coming out completely incomprehensible, so with a cough I said my goodbyes and quickly left the tavern without looking back.

A/N
Much shorter than the last one, but I just had to get it out. I am also slightly aware that Diluc may or may not have been somewhat ooc? Also Rosaria, idk much on how she acts so she had little lines.
Silly y/n, forgetting to pay for her and Venti's drinks
