Main article: Wayfarer's Whispers

Quest Description

You are about to travel to the nation of snow, and Paimon seems to be sorting through all the photos you have taken along the way...

(Approach the marked location)

Paimon: (‍‍), over here! Paimon's got something nice to show you!

Paimon: Lookie look! Paimon took these pictures on our travels.

Paimon: We've been to all sorts of places, and while you were busy exploring, Paimon was busy with her Kamera!

Paimon: Here, take a look at these photos Paimon masterfully took.

Paimon: By the way, do you remember the two photo albums we bought at Damoville Purveyor?

I do.

Paimon: Of course you do! Paimon spent all her savings to reserve those albums, even though it was way in advance.

I don't.

Paimon: Eh, you don't? Paimon spent all her savings to reserve those albums, even though it was way in advance.

Paimon: But it's fine! You're super busy all the time, so Paimon doesn't mind being a super tolerant travel companion!

Paimon: Anywho, you took one of the albums, and Paimon took the other. That way, we'd match!

Paimon: Paimon's already stuffed her album full of photos, but she's not sure if you've done the same yet.

Paimon: But just in case, Paimon bought a new photo album, and although she was planning on keeping it as a backup, she'll give it to you if yours is full!

Do you like taking pictures, Paimon?

Paimon: Yeah! We've been to lots of places together, and seen so many pretty sights that ordinary folks might never even dream of!

Paimon: It'd be a shame if Paimon didn't keep some mementos!

Classic Paimon. Always thinking about others.

Paimon: Hehe, well, Paimon is Teyvat's best tour guide, she can't just think of herself!

Paimon: Paimon bought an extra photo album because she really loves taking pictures!

Paimon: We've seen so many awesome sights during our travels, it'd be a shame if Paimon didn't keep some mementos!

Paimon: More importantly! These are important memories for both of us!

Paimon: We've gotta cherish our past memories and our future experiences. That's what Pacal told Paimon. Wise words, dontcha think?

Paimon: Paimon's gonna lend you her Kamera this time so you can take more pictures yourself.

Paimon: We're about to journey to Snezhnaya, and Paimon has a feeling that things aren't going to be easy from here on out.

Paimon: So let's sort out all the experiences from our journey while we still can!

Paimon: That way, no matter what troubles we run into in Snezhnaya, so long as we think of the moments we shared together, we're sure to be brave and keep moving forward!

My dullard servant has spent the last few hours staring at colorful paper scraps... The boredom is killing me!; Kinich: These "paper scraps" are decorations, and they look like they're made out of cardboard. They're quite interesting.; You like the decor around here, Kinich?; Do you like paper theater, Kinich?; Kinich: I'd say I do. I think this cardboard would make a fitting home for Ajaw.; Ajaw: You mean to imply I'm some sort of paper dragon?; You spend so much time being banished, the inside of a cardboard box should feel like home to you by now.; Ajaw: K—Kiniiiiiich! Just you wait, you'll be on your knees, begging for forgiveness, when you behold the true majesty of the Dragonlord K'uhul Ajaw!; Kinich: Until then, I'll be sure to take in the majesty of the little paper dragonlord K'uhul Ajaw.; Kinich: (‍Traveler‍), I see you've brought a Kamera with you. Would you mind taking a photo of this paper theater for me?; Of course not, and I can take a picture of you while I'm at it.; Kinich: Alright, this'll make a good souvenir for our vacation.; Kinich: Oh, right. How should we pose for the photo?
(Continue to photo-taking section below)

(Talk to Kinich again while Paimon's Kamera is not the active gadget)

Kinich: If you want to keep taking photos, how about I lend you a hand?

Can you help me get in the picture?

Let me think...

(Dialogue ends)
(The message "Equip Paimon's Kamera first" appears)

(Talk to Kinich again while Paimon's Kamera is the active gadget)

(Dialogue ends)
(The message "Equip Paimon's Kamera first" appears)

(If Paimon's Kamera is the active gadget)

Freminet: This resort is huge, and there's barely anyone I recognize. Luckily, I've run into you.

What are you up to, Freminet?

Freminet: I'm observing the sea around Natlan. There are aquatic creatures here I've never seen before, like those two over there.

Those are Koholasaurs.

Those are Neuvillette's relatives.

Freminet: The Iudex...? They look so different. I can't believe they're related.

Freminet: Could it be that the same organisms grow differently depending on whether they live in Fontaine or Natlan?

Freminet: Natlan's ecology is so different from Fontaine's, it's truly something special. If only everyone from the "House" could come here to see it...

You could always show them pictures of the resort. I'll help.

Freminet: Pictures? That's a wonderful idea! That way, I can record the scenery so I never forget.

And we'll get a picture of you while we're at it.

Freminet: A picture of... me? Really?

Freminet: I, umm, I'm not turning you down... I'm just not used to standing in front of a Kamera.

Freminet: "Father" once told me that if I kept hiding myself away, I'd end up worrying those who care about me.

Freminet: So... I've been wanting to kick this bad habit. Alright, since you offered, I guess it's time to get my picture taken!

Freminet: Ah... Do you have any ideas for how I should pose?

I'm here to take pictures of the flowers.; I'm here to take pictures of you.; Tighnari: That's a great idea, but I don't think you can take pictures without a Kamera. Are you sure you brought yours?
(Dialogue ends)
(The message "Equip Paimon's Kamera first" appears)

(If Paimon's Kamera is the active gadget)

I'm here to take pictures of the flowers.

Tighnari: Great idea. These flowers are all species I've never seen before... There's a real need to document them.

I'm here to take pictures of you.

Tighnari: You are? Haha, I guess it has been a long time since we last saw each other.

Tighnari: Hear me out... These flowers have developed some pretty miraculous traits — you'll see what I mean when you touch them...

Tighnari: And I think we should try to include these traits in our photos.

Tighnari: These flowers sure are gorgeous... It's almost like they've been enchanted.

Tighnari: It might seem a little weird for me to say that, but trust me, the natural world can produce marvels that are just as wondrous as magic.

Tighnari: Whenever I encounter such wonders, I just want to snap a picture right away.

Tighnari: In a sense, I suppose that lines up with your way of thinking as well.

It's time for your picture, Tighnari!

Tighnari: Fantastic. This is the perfect spot to take one.

Tighnari: Hmm, how should I pose for this picture... Do you have any suggestions?

It's been a while, Yoimiya.

I'm on a quest to take pictures of lovely scenery, and I bumped into you on the way.

I'm on a quest to find the lovely Yoimiya, and I'm taking some pictures along the way.

(If Paimon's Kamera is the active gadget)

Yoimiya: My father made a batch of new fireworks yesterday, and I helped him out! The clients were a couple of newlyweds.

Yoimiya: And wouldn't you know it, Sayu dropped by yesterday! We even ended up chatting about you.

Yoimiya: *sigh* So much has happened while you've been away. There's so much you need to catch up on!

Yoimiya: But that's more than enough about me! I didn't even say a proper hello... or ask what you're doing out here.

It's been a while, Yoimiya.

Yoimiya: Once you've got the Kamera ready, we can set these off. That way, it'll make for an even more momentous memento!

And I can take a picture of you while we're here.

Xiao: You walk with a carefree stride, and you're holding a Kamera. It's obvious that you came here to take pictures.

Xiao: This temple sits between mountains and rivers. It's a tranquil place.

Xiao: Sometimes, visitors come here to paint, and sometimes I see the younger ones bring their Kameras with them.

Xiao: It just so happens that nobody else is here today, so don't worry about others disturbing your photography session.

I'd like to take a picture of you, Xiao.

Xiao: ...Of me?

We can keep it as a memento of you releasing your Xiao Lanterns.

Xiao: I just came to release them. I never considered keeping mementos.

We might as well take a picture while we're here.; Kaeya: It's spacious and comfortable, perfect for enjoying the scenery while sipping on a glass of wine...; Kaeya: Come to think of it, the open-air furnishings at the Angel's Share are rather simple. Maybe we should have a word with the winery boss.; A picture's worth a thousand words...; Kaeya: Very true. Let's pick a good angle.; Don't worry, I'm a professional.; Kaeya: Haha, I trust your judgment. Let's do it.; Kaeya: Oh, and since I'm going to be your model, you can pick my pose.
