Summary
children have a way about them. they simply know bad, and good, and that funny in between wherein they insist everyone is capable of redemption and forgiveness. all children no matter their origin are his children. that the act of simply being innocent and free of the weight of the world, makes them his domain. as the weakest of the gods, his promises to protect them all are usually met with fond eye rolls and light sighs. nevertheless, it's a promise he makes every morning, with every gentle breeze and newly formed cloud.
barbatos has only broken that promise twice in his entire lifetime. he does not intend to break it again.
instead he finds a young kaeya, in the middle of a storm.

Summary
The life of gods in this world is shorter than in other worlds in other systems. Morax would be foolish to believe he could outlive the very mountains and earth itself. What once was will not cease to exist the moment its time in this realm ends. He will only return to bedrock that lives in his veins.
or:
Zhongli brings his new son to meet his master, apologies are made, and time is kind to nobody, regardless of how long they live.

Summary
kaeya has always loved the star stories. they told time and tale, and you could always rely on them. the clusters tracked the seasons, the harvest, the days. they were a reliable source of information and knowledge that baba taught him in his seven years of life. but kaeya’s favourite star cluster, was the one that showed up every year on the exact same night for the very first time of the season; the peacock. his pavo ocellus.
he would find it, and make his wish, and then he and baba would go to bed without any fears of dreams or important men who steal children.
venti doesn’t know about kaeya’s star night yet, but that’s okay.
OR
kaeya doesn’t know what a birthday is. venti panics.
