Pick a character, hit me up, toss out a scenario, or use one of the threads below. Master muse list can be seen here but the characters below are the ones I'm feeling the most right now.
[The middle of winter is a quieter time for Mondstadt. It is too cold to be a criminal. Caravans and shipments of supplies are less hassled, leading to a lull in work for the knights who focus on civic duties instead. The heavy snow drifts, some that ice over as the night wears on, make it difficult to want to be outdoors at all.
For cryo magic users, they are brimming with magic. It is the season they are the strongest, and the overabundance of energy is hard to burn off when there's no work to be had that keeps them busy. For the past few years, Kaeya has found a way. Since Venti started showing up, Kaeya has noticed little things that don't make sense.
Over time, suspicion began to brew, gaining more and more traction that only added to a hidden report in his flat. It came to a head at the recent Diluc, and Jean both gave way to Venti without question. He'd caught a look with the traveler, who looked bashfully away for reasons he couldn't figure out at the time. Annoying Diluc about it got him nothing. Subtly asking Jean got him to put on road clearing duty with the excuse that he had too much energy and the city could use his hands full time for a few days.
It didn't help the restlessness that wasn't letting him sleep at night. And so he is, wandering the night with a lantern on his belt out on unofficial patrol. He pauses as he catches music on the breeze and makes his way over to the snowdrifts in front of Angel's share. He can picture where the tables would be.] Between you and me, I don't think Angel's Share is going to open tomorrow until late evening.
(Winter is cold and winter is quiet. The wind bites a little more and the snow dampens all sound and there are certainly plenty who dislike the season but Venti doesn't mind.
It's winter when people gather close together for warmth, their cheeks rosy and bright from the wind. A long time ago, people would huddle around the same fire and share hearty stews with one another. They would pass around cups of warm mulled wine and with their stomachs warm and their hearts full, they would sing to pass the nights.
Those nights are now more reserved for adventurers and travelers out in the wild. These days, the people of Mondstadt are warm in their homes and he can't complain. The taverns and bars are slower these days. They are always more active at night and these nights, it's harder and harder to get out. All the more reason to show his support and pay a visit, right?
Ah, but it's then that he catches a familiar face. He isn't surprised to see the Favonius knight. Those who have been blessed with Cryo are always more active in this season. With a cold wind and some snowflakes in the air, he arranges it just so he can be caught outside the Angel's Share.)
Oho? (He lets out a small laugh,) Then we should make the most of tonight!
(He raises his hands to his mouth, blowing warm air into them,)
Well, we can’t have you freezing to death out here. Who would sing wondrous tales? [He slaps a hand to the front of Angel’s share and threads of pale blue light weave over the wood and down into the snow.
The snow parts and moves as he takes a moment to control it. It ripples like sand dunes in the wind until the tables are exposed and the covered up brazier waits. Kaeya sags against the wall.] A shame Master Diluc isn’t on shift.
[He runs his hands over the underside and finds a very obvious compartment. He pulls it open and takes out a flint and tinder.] Can you get the cover off the top? I have to say, most people wouldn’t be out in this weather.
Even our busy Acting Grand Master is insisting guard duty shifts are shorter. [They are the same amount of shifts but people rotate a hell of a lot sooner and more often.]

My fingers could use some warming up, too.
