[ it takes a moment that feels as though it spans minutes, hours, before she feels as though she can breathe again. before she feels as though she can think again. she reads venti's question once, twice, and finds herself wanting little more than to dig a hole and bury herself inside it.
is that what it is the called? that feeling that has sat so strongly in her chest, burning away and leaving her wanting nothing more than to spend whatever days she has with them? she knows of love, of course, there are so many plays and books written about it but can she honestly say she has ever felt it like those in the books and plays have?
maybe. maybe she has. maybe it has always been there throughout those long five hundred years, maybe it is exactly what she felt as she grew closer to wriothesley. maybe, maybe, maybe─

[This long wait doesn't surprise him. If this has shocked her, it might be because she's in a similar boat to Zhongli. Not recognizing that her own feelings or maybe the feelings of the other people interested in her are different than platonic affection. So he gives her that time to let his question sit with her.
Venti's still here by the time she texts him back with that. She has his sympathies, though. He remembers feeling a bit of fear and trepidation himself the first time he fell in love with someone.]
[ fear and trepidation is correct, the revelation sits heavily on her shoulders and she just... does not what to do with it. what is she supposed to do now? some stories would have her declare her feelings in some sort of grand gesture, but she certainly can't do that! it would go poorly if she were to do that to neuvillette or wriothesley. ]
[Venti is currently getting up out of his chair to look in on his wine collection. He's going to be donating a bottle for a good cause.]
You have options! But it depends on what you want to do. You can think about it a little more, or you can act on those feelings by telling them, or you could ignore those feelings if you think that this isn't good for you....
Either way, it's going to take a lot of courage to even talk to them about it. It's scary to feel that strongly for someone, you know?
[ oh god, considering the last time she got drunk that may be both a terrible and wonderful idea. ]
I never really had a chance to before now. Or maybe I did and I didn't realise what it was until now. Neuvillette has always been at my side and even after everything I struggled to imagine life without him there.
I am sorry for how I acted Venti, I did not realise I felt so strongly.
It could be both. Don't sell yourself so short, my dear diva. If this is your first time in love, it's no wonder you didn't realize it at first, especially if other things were going on in your life that needed your attention more!
Oh, that's okay! I apologize if it felt like I was attacking his character. I would've done the same if I was in your shoes and new to my feelings for Zhongli. All that said, if you need advice or someone to talk to without judgment, my door's always open for you! You have my word that nothing you say to me in private will be repeated to anyone else.

I think I love them both.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Maybe? I don't know what I am supposed do now.
