"Hm...mm"
Venti turns to c/n "sniff* sniff*" who sobbing by himself.
"..." Lumine and Paimon look at each other, their feeling is hurt seeing how much the two have gone through making them cry along c/n.
Venti just smiles and pads c/n back to comfort him. c/n leap in to hug Venti and continue crying "I'm sorry dad," said c/n "I sorry I said Sob* I hate you...it was a lie...sniff* I'm just sad...with mom last present WAHH*" he cries and he hugs venti.
"Oh, my dear little bird..." A small drop of tear fell on his face "even if it is your last, I will buy presents for you on her behalf...like your mom did for me"
"Dad...sniff*" c/n cried even more
"You're a crybaby like your mom is...hehe" he laughs as he cries with c/n
Lumine and Paimon also cry about their interactions, just listening make them feel close to y/n...feel like she has been with them all the time.
-----
Back at the tavern
-----
The door opens, revealing Lumine and Paimon and behind them is Venti carrying c/n their eyes look swallowed and red.
Everyone looks relieved though they want to know what happens...maybe next time.
"C/n!" a small red girl run up to him "where were you! Klee, been looking for you all over!" she huff.
"Oh Klee...sniff*" Venti let c/n down, "I was with my dad and the traveler and Paimon..."
"Are you crying?" she tilled her head
"A-a little..." he rubs his eyes "but I'm alright now"
"Oh..." Klee feels bad seeing him like this "u-um...oh! Klee got you present!" she run-up up to the counter and back with a small present in her hand "open it! Open it!"
"Thank you Klee..." c/n slowly open the present and in it reveal a turquoise bracelet with Dodoco hanging out of it "this is?..."
"A Friendships Bracelet! C/n look! kIee go one too!" Klee let c/n see a red bracelet on her wrist with Dodoco hanging out of it.
"Wow! We're matching!" c/n beam "Thank you, Klee! Your awesome!"
"Hehe! It's nothing" Klee playfully scratch her head.
Seeing them like this, make the atmosphere brighter than before, at the same time Venti also feels relief seeing his son get his spirit back a bit.
"Dad!" c/n run up to him "look! Isn't this cool!"
"Yes," Venti knell down to the same height as c/n "they fit you!"
"Mhm!" he beams and back to hesitate
"What wrong?" venti ask
"Um...dad...I want to open mom present..." he fidgets with his finger
"..." Venti is a little stunned, "are you sure?"
"Mhm," he nods his head "I'm ready!"
Venti smile and hold his hand, walking up to the counter where all the rest of the present is but the present he wants is not too hard to spot since they have the oldest design.
"Here you go..." venti gives it to c/n
"..." c/n stare at the present for quite some time, making everyone nervous along with him. "Ok!..." he slowly open the present, making sure he didn't tear them too hard.
As he open it a gust of wind blew into the tavern, with Dandelion flying all over. Everyone is surprised since the Window didn't even open...they come from the box.
Something floating out of this box...a letter? It opens itself
Hello? Is it working? Is this how you record it? Miss Ventura said they work like this...oh! Oh! It works!
Hello c/n! How have you been! You may not know me in your time but I am y/n...your mom. Maybe that might be hard to believe, but it is the truth, hehe
How are you, sweetheart? Did you eat a lot? Have you made any friends? Oh and don't stay up too late, I heard the wind can make you catch a cold, geez, why don't Barbatos do something about this sigh*
Anyway, I recorded this because the situation has gone worse during this period, I'm not sure if I will be there with you...but! But! I'm sure your dad will figure things thing out somehow...if he manages to find this present, but if you listen to this right now! Woohoo! Good Job!
This may be the last present but...it will not mean I won't be with you...I will be watching you from where I am...sob* oh dear...I'm such a crybaby arent I? Haha...
Mommy loves you c/n...and dear, look after our child for me...happy Birthday c/n.
The letter closed by itself, and a necklace fly out of the box and landed on him, an old necklace with a bird on it.
Venti walks toward c/n who holds the necklace tight in his hand, "sob* mom..." said c/n "I love you too sniff*"
Venti hugs him and comforts him with all he can while he also sobbing by himself.
Everyone there who has witnessed, some join in with crying and some smiled, feeling happy c/n who just heard his mom's voice again...
------
The light of the Tavern close
Everyone leave and went back to their home, Venti and C/n also went back to their home. Except for c/n, he falls asleep after they cut the cake.
Venti carries him back home and put him on his bed to let him sleep comfortably.
After he finishes, he quietly leaves the house, walking along the road outside of Monstad city.
When he arrives, he finds himself at the big tree of Monstad...he sits down next to the tree, and closes his eyes...he takes out a letter in his hat, it looks similar to what c/n got but...
He slowly opens it...
Barbatos!
A voice he hasn't heard for so long...he already starts tearing up.
How are you dear? I haven't heard from you for so long...I hope you return soon... I and c/n...oh yes! Our child's name is c/n...I decide on this, you have no right to butt in since you were not here when I go into labor, hehe!
this boy...he almost looks like me but he got your eyes, he has been asking for you a lot...hmm, I just told him that you were working...I buy you some time! So you have to hurry up!
I also have a gift for you~, Did you still doing your song! I would love to hear them again...the one that you always sing when we go to our Dandelion field! How did it go again?
Dandelion into the Wind you go... won't you let my darling know
Dandelion into the wind you go, won't you let my darling know...
Venti sings along song that y/n sang in the letter, while he can't see because of tear in his eyes, he can hear clearly what she always sound like...he closes his eyes and when he opens again he sees many particles that look like a person...he smiles and later the particle slowly partway into smaller particle.
His heart feel so hurt, he keeps singing the song until it was no more, he wipe away his tear and smiled "Dandelion into the Wind...you go, won't you let my darling know...y/n I love you..."
A gust of wind flies past along with the dandelion with them...onto the sky...delivering a message from his heart.
The end.
