[ His shoulders slump and he drops his head down at the bop. It was better than a meteor, at least?!

He'll take the map and scan it over, his eyes bouncing between the markings. Two done, like... two to go, maybe? He isn't sure. There's a scribble of a ruin guard with a big X over it, so they certainly will steer clear of that in the North.

For this? The pillar was pointed at but there were arrows pointing down.

Hm. ]

Hold on.

[ Venti just... leaves Zhongli behind and climbs up. He's fully standing up, nearly offering a dickful of a view for Zhongli but – as he nearly topples, a hand goes to rest to Zhongli's head to catch himself.

Because, y'know, drama. ]

It's moving.

[ Slight, so damn slight. No resonating geo would have told him but... Venti uh, just goes ahead and tries to jump. Up like some damn child, nearly slipping along the way. He's way too tiny.

Soon, he'll hop off, not aware of how close they had been just now. ]

Summon your beautiful pillar, Zhongli. Right on top. If my hunch is on the right path, the weight of a pillar will be the right kind of stone wrath.

[ Do it. Do the stone thing. Venti takes a couple handfuls of steps back – y'know out of PTSD. ]
