Bough Keeper: Dainsleif
(Talk to Katheryne)
Katheryne: Traveler, please, over here.
Katheryne: It has been a while since you joined the Adventurers' Guild. Are your adventures going smoothly?
(Traveler): I'm recruiting new allies...
(Traveler): More companions would be nice...
Katheryne: Hmm... is that so? Apart from your own skills, reliable teammates are also indispensable when adventuring.
Katheryne: 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...
Katheryne: 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...
Paimon: W—wait— do you mean...
(Traveler): Could it be...?
Paimon: Does that stranger's face look... anything like (his/hers)!?
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...
(Traveler): 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!
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.
Katheryne: Nonetheless, you can look for him if you're interested. Perhaps he might accept your commission instead.
Katheryne: 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.
Katheryne: And should this stranger be a strong adventurer indeed, he would certainly be a big help on your journey.
(Traveler): But if he's already rejected the Guild...
(Traveler): Sounds like a tough customer...
Katheryne: Please don't talk down on yourself like that. You are the Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, after all.
Katheryne: Your deeds are the stuff of song for all the bards in the city even now.
(Traveler): Well, alright then. About that stranger...
Katheryne: Well, as to further news about him... You may want to ask Mr. Lawrence.
Katheryne: He stands guard at the city gate, so he may know something about that stranger.
Katheryne: I wish you every success, adventurer.
(Ask Lawrence about the stranger)
Lawrence: Ah, Honorary Knight. Is something the matter?
(Traveler): So, I'm looking for a stranger with an eyepatch...
Lawrence: A stranger with an eyepatch? Hmm... let me think. Oh yeah. I remember seeing someone like that. A blond stranger dressed in unusual garb.
