[A lot of the incoming messages are various pictures. Zhongli being covered in the bird-like wind elementals known as wind raisers, both as an enormous dragon and in his human shape. One of them is rather comical as Zhongli nearly trips over the little birds and has to grab onto the railing to avoid pitching overboard. There are a few selfies of Venti as well, such as with the mana rays at night for an ethereal vibe. One of the wind raisers is being a bit standoffish, but remaining relatively close to Venti and Zhongli. There's a caption with that one that says:]
This little guy reminds me of you!
[However, there's one that stands out. By around the time they've made landfall in Copenhagen, there's a proper text message from Venti.]
Wanted to let you know that we're okay! Your dad probably never wants to set foot on a ship again, poor guy. He got bullied by a kraken, but he sort of got his revenge on a sea serpent. I just wish he didn't launch himself off the SHIP to do it, but you know your dad!
I know I don't have to be worried about you because you're strong and capable, but still. The heart worries for those it has grown close to, no matter how strong or capable or independent. I hope you've been holding up well, and that your spirits are high in spite of the danger Kaisou is no doubt in. I hope you know that the wind will always be at your side.
I know Zhong doesn't say it often, but we're both really proud of you, Xiao. And I have no doubt Azhdaha would be, too. Maybe when it's not quite as raw of a wound, the three of us can spend some time together to share stories about him and reminisce.
Until then, stay safe! We love you so much, Xiao!
[And then there are more pictures that follow. However, these feature Venti not as his human form, but as a little wind spirit in Copenhagen. Xiao can probably guess that Zhongli is the photographer for these pictures.]
