[ when they had first met, Morax didn't know what to think of him. it was as if Barbatos had no sense of duty, wandering from from Mondstadt to give him, of all things, wine. a creature like that didn't know how to keep a contract, and certainly not put brush and ink to one. it took a long time for him to finally understand the perspective of someone untethered by responsibility, and then even longer to reconcile what that meant. even when he grappled with the meaning, he respected Barbatos' autonomy.
there were no signed contracts between them – at least, nothing serious. Morax never brought it up, even when their borders were linked together. there were contracts between their people, commerce and trade, between the Knights of Favonius and the Qixing, but not them. he couldn't ask Venti to do anything against his nature, but there could be concessions here and there: he would have fun and Venti would keep that vow. ]
And I assure you that I'm fully capable of it. I'll be sure to keep business to a minimum.
[ but there will be business. ]
I'll meet you at sunrise at the front gate. You should be there early, if you're the first person that I'm to see upon my arrival. [ as in, don't get too drunk tonight, Venti. ] Otherwise, there are preparations that need to be made before I depart from Wangshu.
