[Venti's very grateful to be caught in Zhongli's protective arms, and he's happy to remain being held by him. His blood seeps from the claw wounds, and his left hand looks and feels worse than it is, but they don't know that right now. The Archon's once pristine, white wings are stained crimson from his own blood, both from wounds and from proximity to his other injuries.
His eyes fall to the shikigami rising and reforming into Dou-chan, but he focuses on the one shaped like a deer.]
Morax, how long has it been since we've hunted deer together?
[Despite his pain, he sounds cheerful and casual as he gently lets himself down from Zhongli's grip. Venti assumes a stance that is familiar. If he can't use his bow, then it's time to put his earthbending to the test.
The bard brings his foot down in a stomping motion, which immediately causes a boulder to shoot up from the ground. He then kicks it to send it flying at the deer (12+2), and then conjures a tailwind for Zhongli to help him move faster.]

I can do maybe one shot from my bow, Morax!
