[Maybe it would if he was actually looking... instead, he is still trying to navigate the other side of the bar, which he also can't see. It's a miracle he hasn't broken anything yet. He will find that glass...!!]
Anything, everything—whatever you want! Do you have any requests? A ballad of old, or something more fresh? I've been working a new one recently—have you heard the tale of the Outlander and the Dragon?
Or maybe... ah, yes! I know! [FINALLY retrieving glass #2 and triumphantly placing it on the counter between them] You are a man of Liyue, aren't you? So of course it's only fitting that I share with you a tale of the Geo Archon himself! It's a little known fact that Rex Lapis and Barbatos were actually quite familiar with one another. In the peaceful age that followed the Archon War, the Seven would often gather to drink in merriment, and on one such occasion did the Geo Archon overindulge and find himself the victim of a mischievous plot...
[At some point Venti retrieved his lyre, and so he begins to strum a simple melody as the backing of his tale... which is basically a shitpost that 100% never happened. But wouldn't it be funny if Barbatos really did get Morax drunk and crashed the economy for a day by swapping all of the Mora in the Golden House with Mora Meat??
At least he's still trying to paint Morax in a positive light—his audience is from Liyue, so no calling anyone a brute or a blockhead! But anyway, it's not like Morax is here to tell him how totally fake and dumb this story is.]
