Dialogue
- Anselm: *sigh* If only Cardinal Seamus were still here...
Who are you?
- Anselm: Good day to you, Honorary Knight. I am Anselm, a member of the Knights of Favonius's expeditionary force. I am also the supervisor on duty at this stronghold.
- Anselm: I was the captain of the 6th Company before I was sent out on expedition. Now, I assist the Grand Master with the expeditionary force's administrative affairs.
- Anselm: ...I am also in charge of looking for the Grand Master when he goes missing.
- Cardinal Seamus?
- (Condition missing)
-
- Anselm: Cardinal Seamus is currently dealing with other matters, and we have taken over some administrative duties in the meantime... He was basically the only person taking care of everything before we stepped in.
- Anselm: Nannina, Laurent, and I have been taking turns to cover for him. But, try as we might, it is often difficult to keep up.
- Anselm: They say that Master Jean, who stayed behind in Mondstadt, handles virtually all of the Knights' affairs, big and small... It really is a case of like father, like daughter.

- Anselm: Cardinal Seamus has returned to Mondstadt. Previously, he was virtually the only person handling all of the expeditionary force's administrative work.
- Anselm: After he left, Nannina, Laurent, and I have been taking turns to cover for him. But, try as we might, it is often difficult to keep up.

What has the expeditionary force been up to recently?- (Condition missing)
-
- Anselm: The expeditionary force is currently dispersed throughout Nod-Krai, conducting operations against various threats: the Wild Hunt, the Fatui...
- Anselm: While we've dealt with quite a few troublesome enemies on this long expedition... this is the first time we've encountered a place this chaotic.
- Anselm: But, as the Grand Master once said, the Knights' responsibilities are the same no matter where we are: aid the distressed and help the poor, punish the wicked and champion the good.
- (Condition missing)
-
- Anselm: This expedition is finally coming to an end, and many of our Knights can't wait to go home.
- Anselm: However, per the Grand Master's orders, this camp is to remain operational as an outpost for gathering Abyss-related intel.
- Anselm: Several of our Knights have already volunteered to stay behind... To be honest, I am somewhat surprised by the number. We even had to draw lots to determine who would take the first round of duty.
- Anselm: I will also stay behind with them to finish the work of setting up this stronghold.
- Don't you miss home?
- Anselm: Ha! A Knight feels at home whenever the wind blows.
- Anselm: And it's not like we'll never get to go home. There will be other Knights coming from Mondstadt to relieve us.
- Anselm: What's one more round of duty after the long expedition we've already been through?
Goodbye.
- Anselm: Goodbye, Honorary Knight, and may the Anemo Archon protect you.
