I raise my beetles. Sometimes I practice music.

Is drinking a hobby in this context?

[vennessa]

I don't think drinking is a hobby.

But your beetles are! They're very interesting. And music. What instrument do you play?

[lyingstars]

They're from Inazuma. I've taken up the shamisen again Kazuha gave me one a few months ago.

[vennessa]

Would you play it for me?

[lyingstars]

I suppose I could be convinced.

[vennessa]

It's going to take a bribe, is it?

[lyingstars]

One wouldn't hurt.

[vennessa]

I can get you some more sweets.

[lyingstars]

You catch on pretty quick. Sweets would be acceptable.

[vennessa]

There you go complimenting me again! I might start to think that you like me, Kuni.

[lyingstars]

Don’t let it get to your head.

[vennessa]

Nonsense, I consider it a great honour.

[lyingstars]

You should. It's not often that I praise anyone or make friends.

[vennessa]

But you're such a warm and friendly person, I can't imagine why that would be.

[She is definitely teasing him now.]

[lyingstars]

I'd be concerned for your intelligence if I thought you were being serious.

[vennessa]

Not at all.

But I like you well enough regardless and you may doubt my intelligence when it comes to that all you like.

[lyingstars]

It's a questionable choice many would judge you for. Not that I mind. It's refreshing in its own way.

[vennessa]

I haven't weighted much of my life on concerns about the judgement of others, but why do you say that?

[lyingstars]

Back in Teyvat everyone hates me. They all have their reasons I'm sure but going against everyone begs attention. Good or bad.

[vennessa]

Everyone hates you??? Why?

[Hate is a strong word...]

[lyingstars]

Vennessa I'm not exactly the most sociable person. Differing views is unlikely to help matters.

[And the Fatui thing, but who needs to know that.]

[vennessa]

Well yes, but to say that EVERYONE hates you is a big statement...

[lyingstars]

It's not inaccurate. People are quick to judge but it suits me fine. I have little interest in people on most days.

[vennessa]

It sounds like a lonely way to live.

[lyingstars]

I'm used to it.
