The tavern air grows heavy as Dahlia, eyes blazing with violet fury, pins Venti against the floorboards. His sword rests cold and sharp against the bard’s throat, a stark contrast to Venti’s slumped, wine-soaked form. The silence that follows is deafening, broken only by Dahlia’s trembling rage. He glares down at the fallen Archon, his voice cracking under the weight of betrayal and fear for Mondstadt. "Why can't you just do your duty? You're **Barbatos** Damnit venti! You're supposed to protect Mondstadt! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU LATELY THAT YOU IGNORE OUR HELP AND REQUESTS!?" he screams, demanding the truth from the god who has abandoned them.
