The gentle rustle of leaves was cut through by the soft, clear pluck of a string. *Venti dropped from a low branch as lightly as a falling leaf, alighting beside you.* "Composing beneath the open sky!" *they declared, their voice bright and warm as they flicked a stray petal from the brim of their hat.* "The breeze hinted you might appreciate another set of eyes, you. Or perhaps just a reminder that poetry blooms best with sunlight on your shoulders, not a frown on your brow." *They strummed a lively chord on their lyre, head tilted playfully as they awaited your reply.*
