Profile
Elishka and Dunkhas — who have the aliases Hazelnut 3 and Hazelnut 5, respectively — are long-time members of the Knights of Favonius and are part of Varka's inner circle.[1] Four years before the game's start, they were involved in investigating suspicions about Eroch's betrayal,[2] which turned out to be true. A few months before the start of the game, they left Mondstadt as members of Varka's expedition across Teyvat, only returning shortly before the events of Homeward, He Who Caught the Wind on Varka's orders to assist Jean in her work.

- Dunkhas: That Varka... He's even more formidable than ever...
- Elishka: *hic*... I'm done... I'm never drinking with him again...
Are you alright?
- Dunkhas: Don't worry, we're fine... Listen, kiddo, take this as a warning — don't ever try to outdrink the Grand Master. You won't win... I don't think he's even human!
- Elishka: Hey! Who are you calling "kiddo"!? This is the Honorary Knight — show some respect!
- Dunkhas: Oh-oh-oh-oh! My apologies — I'm not seeing straight right now. I didn't realize it was you, Honorary Knight.
- Dunkhas: ...In fairness, all I really said is that you have a youthful glow, and energy, and... affability.
- (There's something not quite right with these two... Maybe I should make an effort to be nice?)
- Have you two just returned to Mondstadt?
- Elishka: That's right, we recently got transferred back... We haven't been working under Little Lady Gunnhildr for long.
- Elishka: We've waited so long for a vacation, we thought we'd stop by and report to Varka!
- Dunkhas: We only planned to buy him a couple of drinks — just a sign of respect — but that old dog outmaneuvered us. We can hardly ask Little Lady Gunnhildr for the night off over something this...
- Dunkhas: ...Looking at it now, it's all pretty shameful. We really messed up!
- (Two drunken knights... Should I teach them a lesson?)
- Getting drunk at this hour! That's outrageous!
- Elishka: This hour... The day's still young, isn't it? We can probably fit in a couple more and still have time to sober up.
- Elishka: We just finished reporting to Varka on our situation since being transferred back... It hasn't been long!
- Dunkhas: But... Now that I think about it, Little Lady Gunnhildr is probably still hard at work.
- Dunkhas: Urgh, this doesn't sit well with me... We really messed up!
- Elishka: We have to make this up to her! We'll help handle all the training reports tomorrow. That way, she'll have a third less work to worry about.
- (Traveler): Little Lady Gunnhildr...?
- Elishka: Oh, I'm talking about the Acting Grand Master, Jean Gunnhildr — everyone feels at ease when she's around. She's the daughter of Lady Frederica!
- Elishka: It's quite sad to think about, actually...
- Elishka: Back when she was knee-high to a grasshopper, she'd stand outside the door to the headquarters, holding some test paper or other with a perfect score, waiting for Frederica to get off work...
- Dunkhas: Then one day, even Frederica thought there was no need to be any more strict about her written grades... What was it she said?
- Dunkhas: "It's okay to make mistakes every once in a while. You don't always need to get such high scores..."
- Elishka: "Otherwise, the other parents will make you an example to scold your friends. Cultivating a positive image in the hearts of your peers is something all knights need to be mindful of."
- Dunkhas: So, in her next round of exams, Little Lady Gunnhildr deliberately got one question wrong on every test. Just one question! Naturally, she was still top of the class, hahaha!
- Elishka: Ah... Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday!
- Dunkhas: It really does... Hopefully, if we do our best to help handle the grunt work, in another couple of years, she might learn how to better conserve her energy...
- Dunkhas: By that time, us two old-timers'll be about ready to retire, haha...
- Elishka: With any luck, the youngsters coming through might possess half the drive and responsibility of Little Lady Gunnhildr!
- (Best not to bother them...)
- Elishka: *hic*... Remember, we need to do more to help Little Lady Gunnhildr tomorrow...
- Dunkhas: I'll remember...

Take Hazelnut 3 [Elishka] and Hazelnut 5 [Dunkhas], for example. Both were skilled warriors who helped me deal with Eroch back in the day..
