(Adventurer's Guild)

Katheryne requested that everyone from our party come on over to the Adventurer's Guild to see her.

Katheryne: Travelers, please, over here.

Patrick: Is there something you need us for?

Katheryne: It has been a while since you joined the Adventurers' Guild. Are your adventures going smoothly?

Kiana: Yes they have been. We took down boss level monsters, helped a lot of people, solve problems, and beat up a lot of bad guys.

Patrick: And after coming to Liyue, our party is a lot bigger now. However, most of the guild members are jealous that 3 boys are in a party full of cute girls.

Aether: More companions would be nice...

Katheryne: Hmm... is that so? Apart from your own skills, reliable teammates are also indispensable when adventuring. Another person to count on is always good, after all. But recruiting such dependable companions is no easy matter, is it?

Paimon: Yup, and it's even harder to get a guide as good as Paimon.

Katheryne: Ah, yes, I do have some information that may be of help to you... Let me consult our records... Ah, there it is. There's been a certain blond stranger who arrived in Mondstadt lately, dressed in the most unusual clothes.

Paimon: Blond... dresses all funny... It feels like Paimon's heard this one before...

Then we were all shocked with realization.

Paimon: W—wait— do you mean...

Aether: Could it be...?

Paimon: Does that stranger's face look... anything like his!?

Katheryne: Hmm? Like the Honorary Knight's? No, they couldn't look more different. This stranger is a very tall man, and even has an eyepatch...

Aether: So, just some distant relative of Kaeya's, then...

Paimon: Seriously? How does this have anything to do with Kaeya? Eyepatches can't prove that you're related, anyway!

Theresa: Thought it was Durandal for a second there. Not Lumine.

Katheryne: That stranger declined the Guild's invitation, so I can't say that I know anything about the relationship between him and Mr. Kaeya. Nonetheless, you can look for him if you're interested. Perhaps he might accept your commission instead. After all, it is not uncommon for some adventurers to not want to be limited by the Guild, but be happy to accept a fellow adventurer's requests. And should this stranger be a strong adventurer indeed, he would certainly be a big help on your journey.

Aether: But if he's already rejected the Guild...

Katheryne: Please don't talk down on yourself like that. You are the Honorary Knights of the Knights of Favonius, after all.

Patrick: That is true.

Katheryne: Your deeds are the stuff of song for all the bards in the city even now.

Aether: Well, alright then. About that stranger...

Katheryne: Well, as to further news about him... You may want to ask Mr. Lawrence. He stands guard at the city gate, so he may know something about that stranger. I wish you every success, adventurers.

First we asked Lawrence and he gave us some information, then he said to ask Wagner. We asked Wagner and we got some information from him then he said to go to Angel's Share then we went on over to Angel's Share.
