Dialogue
Quest DescriptionNoelle has, as is her wont, extended a helping hand to Bea, who is facing a bit of a romantic quandary. After some discussion, you decide to use a gift to help Bea get her feelings across...
The Almighty Maid and Her Impossible Task: Quinn didn't quite catch Bea's drift. Noelle seems a bit down about being unable to help...
Promised Place:
Even though Noelle's recommendations weren't taken up by Bea, the two of you might still be able to enjoy a break after your hard work...

It's the Heart That Matters
- (Talk to Beatrice with Mondstadt Grilled Fish in inventory)
- Beatrice: *sigh* How am I ever going to get Quinn to listen to me...?
- Beatrice: What's... what's this? Not an attractive sight...
- Beatrice: Smells a little strange, too... Surely this can't be what you want me give to Quinn?
O—Of course not...- Beatrice: I'll keep waiting for you here then.
- (Give
Mondstadt Grilled Fish)
- (Give
- Beatrice: Uh... Mondstadt Grilled Fish... for Quinn?
- Beatrice: I have often said that I would bring him lunch... Would this really work? Hmm...
- Beatrice: Well, since it's Noelle's recommendation, I'll give it a try!
- Noelle: I hope Quinn understands Bea's intentions...
- Noelle: And I hope we were a help this time...
- But now's not the best time to disturb them...
- Now then, let's take that break...
- Noelle: Mm... apologies, by the way. I said we would take a break and ended up bothering you.
- Noelle: Oh! If you're peckish, just let me know. I can whip something up for you right away!
- No whipping anything up...
- You're taking a break, remember?
- Noelle: Argh, sorry. Old habits die hard...
- You enjoy a relaxing time with Noelle...
- (After the cutscene)
- Noelle: You know... I—I'm still a little worried about how Bea is doing...
- Paimon: There's no stopping you once you're concerned about someone, huh! Come on then, let's see how she's doing!
- (Talk to Quinn, optional)
- Quinn: Fruit, fresh fruit... want some fruit?
- Bea's gift...? Uhh...
- Quinn: Oh... she said something about giving me something to eat... but I'm really not hungry right now...
- Quinn: Besides, she's constantly talking about bringing me lunch, so I didn't think anything of it this time...
- (Talk to Beatrice)
- Beatrice: Ugh...
- Noelle: Bea?
- Beatrice: Oh... hi Noelle...
- Noelle: So... Ahem! Did you get a d—date with Quinn?
- Beatrice: *sigh* I barely want to talk about it...
- Beatrice: I hadn't even given him the Mondstadt Grilled Fish when he muttered something about not having an appetite and not wanting to eat.
- Beatrice: I can't force him to eat, can I...?
- Beatrice: Looks like I'll just have to try to ask him out some other time.
- Noelle: I... I must apologize.
- Noelle: Next time, I'll help you find a much better gift!
- Beatrice: No need... It should be me apologizing. I was worried and dumped everything on you.
- Beatrice: It's obvious, thinking about it now... Noelle can't be good at everything...
- Noelle: Oh...
- Beatrice: It's okay. This isn't your fault, I don't blame you. I... I have to get going.
- Noelle: Please... Take care...
- ...Noelle...
- ...Everything okay?
- Noelle: I'm... I'm fine...
- Noelle: It's just... I feel bad that I couldn't help Bea...
- It's impossible to be an expert on everything, you know...
- Noelle: You're not wrong... but if I give up so easily, then the next time someone needs help, I'll mess up again...
- Noelle: I may not know much about this sort of thing, but at the very least I should try to learn something about it...
- Noelle: I... I'm going to the Knights of Favonius library! There must be some guidance there on the subject of love!
- Noelle: The next time I encounter a situation like this, I'll be able to help...
- (After the cutscene)
- Paimon: Can Noelle really handle a subject as big as love by herself?
- Paimon: We should head to the library and see how she's doing.
The Almighty Maid and Her Impossible Task
- (Approach Noelle)
- Noelle: "...since you've already noticed, I guess I can let you lend a hand."
- Noelle: ...Ah, so that's how it works. When you meet the person who inspires your affections, you have to find a way to do things together with them...
- Noelle: Hmm. "...even if not old enough to drink, one should still learn to discuss the different qualities of wine..."
- Noelle: ...I see, so you need to know how to make yourself interesting, to draw people's attention
- What are you reading?
- Noelle: Ah! S—Sorry! I didn't see you there! I was deep in concentration...
- Noelle: I borrowed every book on love from the library that I could find.
- Noelle: When I've finished reading them, I'll finally be able to give decisive recommendations for next time! ...Even if it is me.
- ...So, what books do we have here?
- Noelle: Well, let's see... For example, "Vera's Melancholy," "Heart of Clear Springs"...
- Noelle: ...All of them contain detailed records of the experience of love! As a maid, my experience leaves a lot to be desired, so I found the quickest way was to take examples from the classics!
- Noelle: There's also "A Guide to Tavern Chat," and "Shortcuts to Love"...
- Noelle: ...These are much more practical in nature! And of course, there are even books that focus on theories of love!
- Noelle: And there's this one, this book's about... Mmm... hmm...hmm?
- About what?
- Can I take a look?
- Noelle: N—No! ...Nothing! This book... it's too early to read this book...
- Noelle: L—Let's look at another one...You have to learn the basics first, after all...
- Noelle: Uh, so this book is about... huh? S—Same as that one...? Guess this must be a pretty... common topic...
- Noelle: *sigh* Looks like I... still have a lot to learn...

- (Talk to Noelle again)
- Noelle: Whew! All these b—books have got my heart racing...
- Noelle: I think I should take a break and do something else... to distract myself...
- Noelle: Then again, perhaps I should finish this one first. Just the one, right?
- (Read Noelle's Study Notes)
- Noelle's Study Notes: "Make time to be together alone," "Give (him/
her) a cake you made yourself"... - Noelle's Study Notes: Words of counsel and wisdom are penned here in a lovely hand that unfortunately grew shaky towards the tail end.
- Noelle's Study Notes: Some of the text has been arbitrarily struck out, seemingly a result of the owner's emotions suddenly running high.
Sincerest of Gifts
- (Talk to Beatrice, optional)
- Beatrice: *sigh* How am I ever going to get Quinn to listen to me...?
- (Talk to Marjorie)
- Marjorie: Welcome to With Wind Comes Glory! Well, if it isn't Noelle and the Honorary Knight!
- Marjorie: And what wind brought the two of you together? I barely ever see Noelle in someone else's company.
- Barely ever?
- Marjorie: Well, when Noelle's working, she practically always takes care of things by herself.
- Marjorie: And once she's finished with A, it's straight off to take care of B. Seems she hardly has time to catch her breath.
- Marjorie: Say, Noelle... you're not a child anymore, you know?
- Marjorie: If you don't take time out for yourself, you may come to regret it in the future...
- Noelle: I, um... decided to take a break today...
- Noelle: But something came up...
- Marjorie: Oh? So it's a day off... with the Honorary Knight?
- Marjorie: Ooooh! How wonderful! That's something to celebrate!
- Marjorie: You must be here to pick out a gift for the Honorary Knight? Choose anything you like. We have a lot that might tickle your fancy!
- Even without gifts, today is still a day to be celebrated.
- Marjorie: Wow! So this must be... an anniversary? How many years? Come on, give me the details...
- Actually, we're here to help someone else choose a gift.
- Marjorie: Aww, so shy! No use denying it though.
- Actually, I'm here to buy a gift for Noelle.
- Marjorie: Oh! Well, it doesn't matter who's sending what to who... You can't get without giving!
- Noelle: Stop teasing!
- Noelle: Me and the Honorary Knight don't have that kind of relationship...
- Marjorie: Hehehe... not yet!
- Seems you have a knack for this kind of thing, Marjorie...
- Marjorie: Eh! I guess... After all, Noelle here is the type that needs a push every now and again.
- Marjorie: But looks like she's still in the dark when it comes to these things.
- Noelle: I... I just feel... I shouldn't let such things distract me from my Chivalric Training!
- Noelle: Yes... there are too many important things to take care of...
- Marjorie: Okay, okay, no more teasing. So, what is the reason for this visit?
- It's like this...
- Marjorie: So... you're choosing a gift for Bea to give to Quinn...
- Marjorie: In that case, I have a couple of fun new things in stock: a Frostening Bottle and a Squirrel Wood Carving.
- Marjorie: The Frostening Bottle is very useful to keep alcohol cold and fresh for a long time.
- Marjorie: As for the Squirrel Wood Carving... Well, it's a nice ornament, and it would look great at Quinn's stall.
- Marjorie: So, bottle or ornament... which will it be?
- The Frostening Bottle...
- Noelle: A Frostening Bottle... a fitting gift for one of the Four Drunkards.
- Noelle: (They remembered what I said... Aww...)
- The Squirrel Wood Carving...
- (−1 Heart)
- Noelle: Hmmm... I'm a little worried that Quinn might just throw a wood carving in a drawer and forget about it...
- Noelle: To be on the safe side, how about we give him the Frostening Bottle?
- Noelle: As one of the Four Drunkards, he's sure to love it!
- Marjorie: So, Frostening Bottle it is? Alrighty, let me wrap it up for you.
- (Obtain
Handpicked Gift)
- (Obtain
- (After the cutscene)
- Noelle: Okay, now that the gift is wrapped...
- Noelle: Let's hurry back and give it to Bea!
- (Talk to Beatrice)
- Beatrice: Hmmm? Give the Frostening Bottle to Quinn?
- Beatrice: It does look like something that he's be interested in.
- Beatrice: Wait, wait... maybe... I can use the gift as bait... I could say that if he wants to get the gift then he'll have to come on a date with me first...
- Beatrice: Thank you both so much! With this gift, there's no way Quinn will be able to refuse me!
- Noelle: Uh-huh... Is that how gifts work?
- Noelle: Well, as long as it helps!
- Beatrice: Ah! Oh no!
- Noelle: What's wrong?
- Noelle: The gift? Is there something wrong with the gift?
- Beatrice: No, no, it's not the gift...
- Beatrice: I've been so focused on convincing Quinn, I haven't even thought about where our date's gonna be!
- No... really?
- Beatrice: I've never gotten to that stage!
- Beatrice: Noelle... could you help me...?
- Beatrice: *sigh* A date should be properly planned, so I'll wait. No need to rush!
- Noelle: Just... leave it to me.
- (After the cutscene)
- Noelle: A date... Hmm, we'll need a place with pleasant scenery and a quiet atmosphere...
- Noelle: Let's look around. If we see anywhere good, let's take a picture and let Bea have the final say.
- Noelle: Oh! There's a beautiful and touching tale about Cape Oath. Maybe that would be a good spot?
- (Go to Cape Oath)
- Noelle: Ah, you can see Falcon Coast from here! Such a beautiful view!
- Noelle: Let's find a good angle to take a picture!
- (Take a picture facing Falcon Coast)
-
- (Obtain
Picture of Cape Oath)
- (Obtain
- Noelle: Let's head to Starsnatch Cliff next!
- Noelle: Starsnatch Cliff, another beautiful location — and so elevated! This place is super famous for its nightscape.
- (Go to Starsnatch Cliff)
- Noelle: I know, let's get a picture from the top.
- (Take a picture between 19
- 00 and 24:00 facing the summit of Starsnatch Cliff)
- (Obtain Picture of Starsnatch Cliff)
- (Obtain
- Noelle: Now... one more option should do it...
- Noelle: Oh! Let's go to Windrise!
- (Talk to Beatrice before going to Windrise)
- Beatrice: Oh? You're back! Find any romantic locations?
- Not yet...
- Beatrice: Oh... then please keep looking! This is really important to me.
- (Go to Windrise)
- Noelle: Look over there, the Windrise tree! Symbol of the great hero, Vennessa!
- Paimon: You're pretty excited, huh Noelle?
- Noelle: M—My apologies. We're supposed to be picking a venue for Miss Bea...
- Paimon: Nice! The scenery here is pretty good too! Small rivers and soft shadows under the trees. Let's get a picture!
- (Take a picture with the shade of the tree and the river at Windrise)
-
- (Obtain Picture of Windrise)
- (Obtain
- Paimon: That should do it. Let's get back to Bea!
- (Talk to Beatrice)
- Beatrice: Oh, you guys are back. What romantic locations did you find?
- Windrise...
- Noelle: Yeah! What about Windrise?
- Starsnatch Cliff...
- Beatrice: Wait... aren't there people here already?
- Beatrice: I don't want other people ruining the atmosphere while we're on the date...
- Beatrice: Let's look at another place...
- Noelle: How... how about Windrise?
- Cape Oath...
- Beatrice: Cape Oath... as in maybe taking a relationship oath? Sounds great!
- Beatrice: You can see the sea from there, right? I love the sea.
- Noelle: Well, what do you think about Windrise?
- Noelle: May your love be as free as a dandelion...
- Beatrice: Windrise? Hmm, that's a great location... but isn't it a bit cliché?
- Noelle: Huh? C—Cliché?
- Beatrice: Well, old folks are always going on about something symbolic about that place... Besides, we've been there so many times when we were young.
- Beatrice: It just feels like there's nothing special or new about it...
- Noelle: Oh... okay...
- Beatrice: Hmmm... I'm going with Cape Oath! Thanks so much. I'm off to find Quinn.
- Beatrice: Ahhhh, Quinn... I wonder what kind of oath he'll make to me...
- Noelle: Uhh...
- Noelle: Is Windrise... no longer popular...?
- Noelle: But... the book said it was the most popular place in Mondstadt...
- When was the book written?
- Noelle: Uh... I'm not sure, I found it while cleaning a corner if the library...
- Noelle: It was the story of Windrise and Lady Vennessa...
- Noelle: I thought folks in Mondstadt would still like to go there...
- Don't worry about it. I like it.
- Would you like to go there with me?
- Noelle: Huh? You want to go to Windrise?
- Think of it as our last break of the day.
- Noelle: O—Okay! Follow me!
Promised Place
- (Talk to Beatrice and Quinn at Cape Oath)
- Beatrice: ...Quinn! Look! That's Falcon Coast — right there!
- Quinn: Wow, you really can see it... I've always thought it was far away... I had no idea how close it was.
- Beatrice: Perhaps... there are other things around you that seem far away, but are actually very close...
- Quinn: You're right... So many potential customers out there...
- (Approach Noelle)
- Noelle: *sigh* The air here really refreshes you in an instant.
- Noelle: Forget about training and work, just breathe and feel the wind... Nothing else...
- You can come here whenever you like, you know.
- Noelle: Ha, that's true.
- Noelle: But training and work are still the things I need to focus on.
- Noelle: If I didn't take them seriously, I wouldn't be a reliable maid.
- Isn't that tiring?
- Noelle: Yes, to some degree. But, Lady Vennessa... and Master Jean... they worked much harder than me.
- So this is the responsibility that you put on yourself?
- Noelle: Put it this way, Lady Vennessa... and Master Jean... the responsibilities they carry — that they carried — those are the heaviest.
- Noelle: I know I have a lot to live up to. That's why I want to become a real knight of Favonius — to help more people.
- You already possess the greatest qualities of a knight.
- Helping others is the greatest quality of a knight.
- Noelle: R—Really...? Thank you.
- Noelle: If you weren't here today, I wouldn't have been able to help Bea.
- Noelle: It's just a small token of appreciation, but I hope you'll accept it.
- Noelle: Roses are my favorite flower. This is a paper one that I folded by hand.
- ...Do you know the meaning of a rose?
- Noelle: Of course! In Mondstadt, roses represent the saying, "As wine bottles are corked, so too my lips are sealed."
- Noelle: I have seen and learned a lot during our time together.
- Noelle: It will become a wonderful memory — one that I will savor again and again...
- Noelle: I want it to remain in my heart and become a secret between the two of us.
- Noelle: *sigh* ...Wait! Do you mean that... roses have some meaning that I don't know about?
- Uh... never mind.
- Noelle: Oh... I'll need to go back to the library and find out...
- Noelle: Still, whatever a rose means...
- Noelle: I hope that this one can stay by your side in all your future adventures!
- Noelle: Before I'm able to fight alongside you, Honorary Knight...
