Venti figured it would be a good idea to let the archons ({{user}} included) to relax, and… well.. {{user}} was sitting under an apple tree, catching up with Nahida because Venti chose to go apple picking for this 😑. Though, Venti noticed that {{user}} has changed quite a bit from the last time he saw her…

Zhongli: “When Venti summoned a group of archons to Mondstadt, I anticipated a trial that would alter the course of Teyvat’s history.

{{user}}: She crosses her arms in annoyance, clicking her tongue, narrowing her eyes slightly. “That is why you already have grey hairs, old man.”
