Quest DescriptionAngel's Share seems to have started hosting some special event recently...
- (Talk to Luka)
- Luka: Hello there! So, you must be the renowned Traveler.
That's me.- Uh, can I help you?
- Paimon: Hey, don't forget about the equally renowned Paimon!
- Luka: Hehe, of course. Well, it just so happens that our tavern, Angel's Share, is hosting a Bartender's Academy Week. I'm hoping the event might interest you.
- Luka: Basically, you'll have full access to all of our ingredients to mix cocktails or any other drink you please.
- Luka: As long as you refrain from being wasteful, you can enjoy unlimited refills for the drinks you create.
- Paimon: Unlimited refills!
- Luka: Also, you'll be rewarded handsomely if the guests are happy with your drinks.
- Paimon: What? There's even rewards!?
- Well, Paimon is sold...
- Paimon: Where do we sign up!?
- Luka: It's called an "academy" but attendance is certainly not mandatory...
- Luka: And you don't have to make your decision right away. You're more than welcome to give it a try first.
- Luka: So, what do you think? Will you give the academy a try?
- Okay, we'll give it a shot.
- Luka: Great, then please come on in. First, Charles will walk you through some basic techniques.
- We need some time to consider.
- Luka: Sure, no problem. Please come back whenever you're ready.
- (Talk to Luka again)
- Luka: So, what do you think? Will you give the academy a try?
- Okay, we'll give it a shot.
- Luka: Great, then please come on in. First, Charles will walk you through some basic techniques.
- We need some time to consider.
- Luka: Sure, no problem. Please come back whenever you're ready.
- (On entering the tavern)
- Charles: Hey, I know you two. So, what can I get for you today?
- Hi, Charles.
- Paimon: Hey, Charles! Actually, we came to be bartenders today!
- Charles: Bartenders? Oh, so Luka roped you two in, did he? He's got quite a knack for that.
- Charles: (Traveler), you're certainly talented at handling difficult tasks, there's no doubt about that. But mixing cocktails is a whole different game, it's delicate work and requires a certain amount of finesse.
- Charles: Everything from the ratios of your ingredients to your mixing techniques could affect the final product.
- Paimon: Don't worry. (He/
She)'s a fantastic cook. Cooking and cocktail-making have a lot in common, you know! - Charles: Alright, I'll take your word for it. Oh, and one more thing...
- Charles: In a previous event, we had a student who arbitrarily mixed three kinds of hard liquor. Just one glass was enough to leave a customer passed out on the floor.
- Charles: So in light of that incident, we decided to no longer provide alcoholic ingredients to beginners. I hope you'll understand.
- No problem at all.
- Charles: Great, that just about covers all I have to say. You'll learn all the skills and techniques you need on the fly.
- (If the drink was not made properly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After successfully making the drink)
- (Traveler): (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- Charles: Mmm, you're a quick learner, this tastes pretty good.
- Paimon: Paimon agrees! This is amazing!
- Charles: That was just practice, though. On the job, customers often will have special requests for their drinks.
- Charles: Some may enjoy a stiffer drink, while others might prefer something more sour, everyone has their own preferences. Adjusting the amounts of the ingredients is always the key.
- Paimon: Paimon would like a Caramel Pinecone, extra sweet, in the biggest glass you have. Please and thank you!
- Charles: Well, that's about all there is to it. But, to become a truly exceptional bartender, in addition to mixing skills, you'll also need to master conversing with your customers...
- I'm up to the challenge!
- I love chatting with people.
- Charles: Alright, in that case, you two can take this counter. If you have questions or need any help, just give me a holler.
- Paimon: Whew... Class dismissed! Wait, where's Paimon's Caramel Pinecone?
- So you really did want a Caramel Pinecone...

Quest Description"Has anyone seen Captain Kaeya?" "Kaeya? you'll find him in the tavern. Hehe... You must be new here, no? Well, good luck!"
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Kaeya or Rosaria)
- Kaeya: Well, well. This is a surprise. I didn't expect to see you two behind the counter today.
- Kaeya: In that case, I'd like a Death After Noon...
- Rosaria: Leave it to Kaeya to make things difficult right from the start...
- Kaeya: Come now, I just wanted to see how (he/
she)'d react. I admit I didn't expect to see you here today, Sister Rosaria. - Kaeya: With so many demanding customers that frequent the tavern, I only thought I'd help the Traveler gain some experience.
- Paimon: There he goes with that smooth talk again!
- Kaeya: Don't get me wrong, I was only trying to be helpful! If anything, you should be thanking me. Now, how about we start with something simple like a Moonlit Alley, for instance.
- Kaeya: Oh, and make it a large, please.
- Rosaria: I'll leave my drink up to you. Just make it a tea of some kind, and not too big.
- Got it. Coming right up.
- Kaeya: Please, take your time. Waiting in anticipation is half the fun.
- (If the first drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the first drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Done. Let's get started on the next drink.)
- (If the second drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the second drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- (After making the drinks)
- Rosaria: Hmm...
- Paimon: What is it, Rosaria? You don't like the drink?
- I can make you another one...
- Rosaria: No, the drink you made me is fine. It's just that I rarely ever drink tea. The taste always reminds me of certain... things.
- Kaeya: Ah, I presume you're referring to the church?
- Rosaria: Yes. The church once held an event that I couldn't attend, but Sister Barbara still saved some tea and dessert for me...
- Rosaria: The dessert had already gone stale, so she whisked it away when I wasn't looking, but the tea tasted just like this drink you made me.
- Paimon: Boy, you're in rare form today, Rosaria.
- Kaeya: Sounds to me like Mondstadt's just gained another black tea lover.
- Rosaria: Heh, I'd prefer something a little stiffer.
- What about you, Kaeya? How's your drink?
- Kaeya: That depends. If I point out a few flaws, will you make me another one?
- Kaeya: Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I'd never subject you to such treatment.
- Paimon: Gosh, Kaeya sure is a tough nut to crack, you never know what he'll say next. How can you stand to drink with this guy, Rosaria?
- Rosaria: Hmm? I don't really care what's going through his mind, as long as we only talk about drinks.
- Rosaria: Besides, Kaeya's only interested in people or things that intrigue him, whether that's you, the innkeeper here, or anybody else...
- Kaeya: Hey! How could you divulge so much about your dear old drinking buddy, hmm?
- Rosaria: You think I'm saying too much? Heh, get over yourself, it's no big deal.
- Rosaria: Ugh, I'm constantly surrounded by uptight folks day-to-day. I prefer the easygoing atmosphere in the tavern.
- Kaeya: Ooh, are we gossiping about people who take themselves too seriously, now?
- Kaeya: Speaking of which, I know someone who could easily place in the "Top Three Most Serious People in Mondstadt."
- Kaeya: As to their level of seriousness... Well, let me put it this way, they probably wouldn't even flinch if I said that to their face.
- Paimon: Are there really rankings for people like that?
- Kaeya: Of course. Just off the top of my head, there's a running list for the most consistent drinkers, hardest workers, worst cooks, or even... biggest hoarders of dark secrets.
- Paimon: Sounds to Paimon like Mondstadters have way too much time on their hands!
- Rosaria: Are there really that many people who don't need to work?
- No.
- I think I know who he's talking about...
- Paimon: Aww, but what about Paimon? Is there a category that Paimon can be ranked as high as (him/
her)? - Kaeya: Why, of course. How about, "Best Bartenders"?
- Paimon: R—Really!?
- Paimon: That's great, (Traveler)! Our names will be remembered together forever!
- Rosaria: Heh...
- Rosaria: Well, I must admit, the atmosphere you bring isn't half bad.
- Kaeya: You can say that again. Just looking at these two brings a smile to my face.
- Kaeya: Good bartenders create a nice atmosphere and get people in a good mood. You know, like a mascot... so I guess there's really no contest for the title of "Best Bartenders."
- Paimon: Huh?
- Kaeya: Heh, nothing. Thanks for your hospitality.
- Rosaria: Yeah, I should be going, too.
- Rosaria: By the way, that black tea tasted great. I'll try to make some for myself in the future... if I can manage to get up early enough in the morning, that is.
- Kaeya: Until next time.
- Please come again.

Quest Description"Just now, I saw Master Diluc enter the tavern in a rush."
"Oh? Is Master Diluc going to mix drinks personally today? Can't miss out on this one... Come on, help me up."
"Oh? Is Master Diluc going to mix drinks personally today? Can't miss out on this one... Come on, help me up."
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Diluc)
- Paimon: Oh, it's Master Diluc! What brings you here? Do you have nothing to do today?
- Diluc: Heh, me? "Nothing to do"? Don't count on it. I heard you two were working as bartenders, so I thought I'd drop by to see how you're coming along.
- Paimon: Wow, you really do catch wind of things quickly!
- Diluc: So, tell me, (Traveler). How do you like being a bartender?
- Actually, we just started...
- Paimon: Yeah, it's still a little too early to tell. We haven't been at it for very long.
- Diluc: Just tell me your initial feelings.
- Diluc: Excited? Confused? Anything. How does it feel to be a bartender?
- It's a new experience.
- It's been a little hectic.
- Diluc: I see.
- Paimon: Hey, didn't you want to ask Paimon, too?
- Paimon: Paimon's initial feeling is... drinks taste good!
- Diluc: ...
- Diluc: Good. I'm happy for you.
- Diluc: Now, could you make me a Gray Valley Sunset, then? I'll leave the size up to you.
- Sure, I'll get that started for you.
- Diluc: Great, take your time.
- (If the drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- (After making the drink)
- Diluc: Mmm. Not bad, not bad at all.
- Paimon: It's all about the ingredients! If the fruit are fresh and juicy, then the drink will naturally be sweet and tasty without adding anything extra.
- Diluc: Sounds like I should thank the soil of Mondstadt.
- Diluc: It just so happens that Gray Valley Sunset is the first drink I ever mixed.
- Diluc: I was still quite young. My father laid out several ingredients and told me to experiment with them.
- Diluc: No requirements and no instruction. In hindsight, he probably just wanted to test my creativity.
- Diluc: In the end, I just made a glass of fruit punch, much like this one.
- Paimon: Oh? But why fruit punch?
- Diluc: My father was equally surprised. I didn't really put much thought into it, I just figured that it would taste sweet.
- Diluc: Looking back on it, I was so young and naive.
- I wouldn't be so sure.
- Diluc: Oh?
- I'm sure your father thought it was a good drink.
- He must have enjoyed it.
- Diluc: I've never thought about it, I suppose... My father didn't say a word at the time.
- Diluc: But, thank you.
- Diluc: By the way, there's something I'd like to give you.
- Diluc: But, I suppose it's better to wait until you have more experience with your bartender job. I have no doubt that you'll do very well.
- Paimon: And Paimon will... uh, be rooting for you! Hehe.
- Diluc: Very well. Then, I look forward to seeing your good work. See you around.
- Paimon: Come back soon when you have a minute!

Quest Description"What on earth happened that Acting Grand Master Jean is going to the tavern?"
"Calm down, it's the Acting Grand Master we're talking about. Besides, she wouldn't be there if something bad were really going on."
"Calm down, it's the Acting Grand Master we're talking about. Besides, she wouldn't be there if something bad were really going on."
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Jean or Lisa)
- Lisa: Hi there, cutie. It's good to see you.
- Jean: It is certainly unusual for us to meet in a place like this, but as Lisa said, I'm glad to see you.
- Lisa: Hey, what do you mean by "a place like this"? The tavern is a wonderful place to relax and unwind a little.
- Lisa: *sigh* Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to drag the Acting Grand Master away from her desk?
- Lisa: We've only been here for a few minutes and worry is already written all over her face.
- Jean: *sigh* Lisa...
- Well, the Knights of Favonius do have a lot to handle...
- Paimon: Yeah, this is the Acting Grand Master we're talking about. It's only natural that she has a lot on her plate!
- Paimon: But you know what they say... "Now that we're already here..."
- Paimon: Why don't you let (him/
her) mix a couple of drinks for you two. It'll make you feel a lot better! - Think of it as a way to unwind.
- Lisa: Honestly, Jean is the only person I know who needs to be taught how to relax.
- Lisa: Hey cutie, whip me up a Love Poem. Medium, extra sweet.
- Lisa: And how about you, Jean? What are you in the mood for?
- Jean: I'll just have... coffee. Medium, please.
- Paimon: Master Jean, you drink coffee all the time. Wouldn't you like to try something else?
- Jean: Thanks, but no. I want something to help keep me awake.
- Got it. Coming right up!
- Jean: Thanks.
- (If the first drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the first drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Done. Let's get started on the next drink.)
- (If the second drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the second drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- (After making the drinks)
- Lisa: Mmm... The sweetness is just right. Very good.
- Jean: The coffee is strong and rich with just a nice hint of bitterness to it.
- I'm glad you both like the drinks.
- Jean: Actually, I do understand what you meant, Lisa.
- Lisa: Hmm?
- Jean: I've been reflecting on my weaknesses lately. There's still room for me to improve in many areas, such as my productivity and management...
- Jean: I'm concerned my stress may even be starting to somehow affect you as well...
- I think you still don't quite understand.
- Jean: What?
- Lisa: Hehe. See? Cutie knows.
- Lisa: You were working yourself way too hard, so I thought I'd take you out for some drinks. All I wanted was for you to have some fun.
- Lisa: But even in the tavern, you're still thinking about work. That's what's most concerning.
- Lisa: If you're constantly under stress like this, it's only a matter of time before you burn out.
- Exactly.
- Jean: Oh... You also agree with Lisa, (Traveler)?
- Jean: Hmm, so... is learning to relax actually my biggest challenge?
- To quote a saying from Liyue: "Everything has a balance."
- Paimon: Yep! Work hard, play hard, and rest even harder. The two of you may need even more rest than you'd expect!
- That's an... interesting way to put it.
- Lisa: Hehe.
- Jean: Alright, I... I understand.
- Jean: Thank you, all of you. Now I know that this place serves refreshments for both the body and the mind. Is that why you and Kaeya like the tavern so much?
- Lisa: Yes, and no. It really depends on who's making the drinks.
- Lisa: Speaking of which, we couldn't have changed Jean's mind without you today. You sure have a way with words, Cutie.
- Don't mention it.
- I'm glad I could help.
- Lisa: Hehe, then we'll see you later.
- Jean: I'll consider coming here to relax if I have another opportunity.
- Paimon: Sounds great. Take care, you two!

Quest Description"There seems to be a very unusual customer in the tavern..."
"Well, it isn't everyday that someone piques your interest. How about we go check this person out together?"
"Forget it... I wouldn't dare to utter a word in front of him even if I went."
"Well, it isn't everyday that someone piques your interest. How about we go check this person out together?"
"Forget it... I wouldn't dare to utter a word in front of him even if I went."
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Zhongli)
- Paimon: Zh—Zhongli!
- Zhongli: Ah, Traveler. Good to see you, I trust you are well?
- Paimon: W—Wait... Uh, Zhongli, what are you doing here?
- Zhongli: If I am to roam about the world, then I certainly mustn't limit my destinations. The free and prosperous Land of Wind is as splendid a place to visit as any.
- Zhongli: And it's quite a pleasant surprise to run into you here.
- Can I get you a drink?
- We can chat over a cup of tea.
- Zhongli: One Misty Garden please. I take my tea strong, thank you.
- (If the drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- Paimon: Sorry to keep you waiting!
- Enjoy.
- Zhongli: Mmm, the tea is clear and glows with a pleasing hue. Its richness is complemented by a floral and fruity fragrance. Exquisite.
- Paimon: Wow, so Zhongli is even super knowledgeable about tea.
- Paimon: Paimon usually just gulps down the tea and says something simple like, "Yummy yummy in Paimon's tummy."
- Zhongli: Mindfully savoring the tea shows due respect to the person that brewed it for you.
- Zhongli: Tea of good quality is hard to come by, and those capable of brewing tea according to the occasion and emotions even more so.
- You're too kind.
- I'm flattered.
- Paimon: Oh, Paimon gets it now.
- Paimon: So could you teach Paimon how to savor tea like you do? It seems you smell it first, then drink it, right?
- Zhongli: That's correct.
- Zhongli: Every type of tea is unique. The more you drink, the more you will understand the subtle differences. Smelling the aroma will reveal the quality of the tea.
- Zhongli: Lower-grade teas emit a musty and seemingly scorched scent, whereas ones with a delicate yet soothing aroma are usually of a higher quality.
- Zhongli: If you want to be more particular, according to Liyue ancient tradition, you could acquire a "Vintage Goblet," which is used specifically for examining the aroma.
- Paimon: Oh no, all this time, Paimon's been missing out on her tea...
- Zhongli: Not to worry. Knowledge is vast, it's never too late to learn.
- Zhongli: As a beginner, you can try this method: first observe the color. Then, smell the fragrance... And finally, take a sip.
- Zhongli: Remember, you can understand anything as long as you approach it in the proper order.
- I learned a lot today.
- I'd like to know more.
- Zhongli: Qiaoying Village in northwest Liyue is famous for their tea industry. It would be well worthwhile the visit when you get the chance.
- Zhongli: What I shared with you today are mostly my own habits as an old-fashioned Liyue local.
- Zhongli: Each region has its own tea traditions and culture. One should always respect the conventions of the local region.
- Paimon: Paimon gets it! But whether Paimon can remember it all is another story, hehe...
- Classic Paimon.
- Zhongli: Thank you for such excellent tea, (Traveler). It made my trip out here all the more worthwhile.
- Zhongli: If you ever come to manage a tea house, I will certainly be a regular.
- Paimon: Well, we're already pretty busy. I don't think we'll have time to manage a side hustle at a tea house.
- Well, who knows...
- Zhongli: Regardless, you have my complete support.
- Zhongli: Let's call it a day. I won't take more of your time. All the best with your new pursuit.
- Bye.
- Wait, about the bill...
- Zhongli: Ah yes, the bill... Just put it on Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's tab, as usual.
- Paimon: Of course... Take care! Give our regards to the director!

Quest Description"Tsk, why is a Lawrence drinking here too... What bad luck..."
"Ahem... Better watch your mouth. She is one of the Knights, after all..."
"Ahem... Better watch your mouth. She is one of the Knights, after all..."
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Eula)
- Eula: A small Foamy Reef, please... Thank you.
- Eula?
- What's the matter?
- Eula: I... I'm fine.
- Paimon: Huh... There's something off about Eula. Was she already drinking before she got here?
- Paimon: But, Foamy Reef has coffee in it. Would it upset her stomach if she has coffee after liquor?
- Paimon: For her tummy's sake, let's water it down before serving it to her!
- (If the drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- Following Paimon's instructions, you mix water into the coffee...
- Eula: This tastes pretty good...
- Paimon: Wow, she didn't even notice how much water we added. She must've had a lot to drink.
- Eula: One more, bartender... Huh? W—Wait, it's you guys?
- We're learning to become bartenders...
- You only just now noticed us?
- Eula: Ugh...
- Eula: Sorry. I just came here from The Cat's Tail. Perhaps I had a little too much to drink...
- Is something troubling you?
- I'm here if you want to talk.
- Paimon: Yeah. It's pretty lonely to drink by yourself. You'll feel better if you talk to us!
- Eula: ...
- Eula: I suppose I always do drink alone.
- Eula: As long as I'm in Mondstadt, I'll never be welcome at taverns. I was actually feeling good today and wanted a drink, but they still wouldn't get off my back...
- Eula: Tell me, (Traveler), how did you manage to make so many friends?
- Eula: People always sound so appreciative and are always smiling when they talk about you.
- Eula: But as for me, just mentioning my family name is enough to make everyone...
- Hey, don't think like that.
- Paimon: You didn't choose to be born into the Lawrence clan, and we don't care about that kind of thing. The Eula we know is a great person!
- Paimon: But you don't like being straightforward. You always pretend to hold a grudge, and you try to hide your tenderness away from everyone...
- Eula: Hey, who said I was pretending.
- Others will accept you, Eula...
- There will be many people who accept you one day, Eula...
- Eula: Do you think so? Heh, it's impossible to imagine, even when I'm this drunk...
- Eula: Even after being a Knight of Favonius for all this time, people still... whatever.
- Winds always change their course.
- Paimon: Oh, right! Tone-Deaf Bard said something wise like that, too.
- Paimon: Just be yourself, Eula... and keep moving forward.
- Paimon: Sooner or later you'll change what people think about the Lawrence clan!
- Yes, just be patient.
- Eula: Okay, thank you...
- Eula: I... ahem! I should go now.
- Would you like me to walk you back?
- Eula: No need. I want to remember what you said, and I won't be able to think about anything else until I write everything down.
- Paimon: Eula sure is a lot more open after a few drinks.
- Paimon: But it does feel like something's missing without her signature revenge line.
- Paimon: Uh-oh... When she wakes up in the morning, do you think she'll come threatening us to forget about what happened today?
- Hmm, maybe.

Quest Description"Do you know that I met a very nice client today? She moved and talked with grace — a very generous buyer, too."
"What did you sell her?" "Trade secret."
"What did you sell her?" "Trade secret."
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Ningguang or Beidou)
- Beidou: Ahoy, (Traveler)! Great timing. Join us for a round?
- Ningguang: Traveler, what a pleasant surprise.
- What are you two doing here?
- Paimon: Wait, did you two come together?
- Beidou: This lady decided on a whim that she wanted a little vacation, so we ended up traveling around the area.
- Beidou: But I guess we have different ideas of vacation. We hardly hiked the mountains before we came here to put our feet up. Talk about spoiled.
- Ningguang: Come now, no need to hurt anyone's feelings. Besides, I specifically chose this place because I knew how much you like to drink.
- Ningguang: But our captain here has seen a lot more of the world, so she's not exactly thrilled with this little tavern.
- Beidou: It'll do. Anyway, this one's on me, okay?
- Paimon: Beidou's paying? Uh, does that include us?
- We're the bartenders, Paimon.
- Paimon: Oh right. Hehe, sorry... guess that's just a habit now.
- And what can I get for the two lovely ladies?
- Ningguang: I'll have a small Birch Sap, on the sour side.
- Beidou: Uh... I will have a... a large Dusk, please. Thanks!
- Got it. Coming right up.
- (If the first drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the first drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Done. Let's get started on the next drink.)
- (If the second drink was not made correctly)
- Paimon: Huh, this doesn't look like the drink they ordered. Just give this one to Paimon and try making another.
- (After making the second drink correctly)
- Traveler: (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- Ningguang: ...
- Beidou: ...
- Paimon: Well? H—How is it? This silence is making Paimon nervous!
- Ningguang: Mmm... The bittersweet taste of nostalgia.
- Beidou: You mean the taste of going from rags to riches? Just what kind of taste is that?
- Ningguang: Hehe... It's mainly sour with just a tinge of sweetness, and a lingering aftertaste.
- Beidou: Interesting... Does it taste like starting a little business then discovering that selling fruit isn't very lucrative?
- Ningguang: No need to get into the details. Let's leave the past in the past.
- Beidou: Haha, who'd have thought that the dignified Tianquan was once a fruit vendor on the street.
- Beidou: On the other hand, I bet few can tell that I'm from an ordinary fishing village, right?
- Ningguang: Not necessarily. If you ask me...
- Ningguang: I'd say that Captain Beidou has eyes that can pierce the sea. You're an adventure-seeking pioneer who tames the wind and the waves... Which is clearly indicative of someone who grew up by the sea.
- Beidou: Hey, you're not mocking me, are you?
- Ningguang: Come now, it wouldn't do any good to be sarcastic.
- Beidou: I know how fierce you can be with words. It's my treat today, so remember to take it easy on me.
- Ningguang: Alright, then I'd like to have a few more.
- Another drink for the lovely lady?
- We're here to serve you!
- Paimon: Well, you heard the good lady, bartender!
- Beidou: I like where this is going! I'll have another round, too!
- You give the two a refill immediately...
- Ningguang: Mondstadt's fresh fruit juice is hard to top. I wish I could enjoy some every day.
- Beidou: Are you serious? Don't tell me you're gonna open a Sunsettia trade route now...
- Ningguang: Hmm, an interesting proposition.
- Beidou: Wait... Huh, really?
- Ningguang: I'm just joking, of course. There's already a whole industry established for that. They don't need me muscling my way in to their business.
- Ningguang: Thanks for the drinks today, (Traveler). If you'd ever like a cushy job, I'd enjoy having you as my personal bartender.
- Beidou: You're also welcome aboard the Alcor. The crew loves to drink, you could come feast with us. I promise you'd have a blast.
- Ningguang: My, my, Captain Beidou, are you competing with me for talent? That's hardly necessary. You may simply stop by the Jade Chamber whenever you want the Traveler to mix you a drink.
- (I'm so popular!)
- Paimon: Is it Paimon, or does it sound like they think you work for them?
- When I have a chance...
- I'll visit you both. I promise.

Quest Description"Is the white-haired lady passing by an adeptus from Liyue?"
"I can't tell. Can you?" "Me, neither..."
"I can't tell. Can you?" "Me, neither..."
- Another familiar face has arrived at the tavern.
- (Talk to Shenhe)
- Shenhe: Hello, (Traveler).
- Paimon: Hi there! Paimon would be more surprised to see you if we hadn't already seen a bunch of our friends...
- Paimon: Huh!? Wait, you're Shenhe! This is a surprise!
- Shenhe: This place isn't easy to find. Angel's Share... The name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.
- Shenhe: Mr. Zhongli was kind enough to help me with directions. I'm thankful.
- Paimon: You needed help with directions?... Wait, you came all this way just for a drink?
- Shenhe: That's right.
- Shenhe: Because... we're friends.
- What would you like?
- Paimon: Here's the menu!
- Shenhe: Boreal Watch... Hmm, Boreal? As in a cold climate?
- Paimon: Well, Boreal Watch here probably is referring to the Wolf of the North. So yeah, you could say it's cold.
- Shenhe: Caramel Pinecone... How could that be a drink?
- Paimon: Oh, Paimon's tried that one. It's actually caramel flavored coffee. "Pinecone" just refers to the color!
- Shenhe: Huh...
- Shenhe: These names are confusing. I can't make sense of any of these.
- Shenhe: I'll leave it up to you. As long as it's something that tastes like Qingxin or Violetgrass.
- Paimon: Those medicinal herbs don't grow around here. If you want something bitter, then it'd have to be coffee...
- How about something sweet instead?
- Shenhe: Fine.
- Paimon: That's a good idea. You've practiced the adepti arts long enough. It's time for something new!
- Paimon: Let's make Shenhe a Snow-Covered Kiss! It sounds like a perfect fit for her.
- (If the drink was not made correctly)
- (Traveler): (We should just make a Snow-Covered Kiss...)
- (After making the drink correctly)
- (Traveler): (Alright, this drink is looking good.)
- Shenhe: Hmm, it's sweet and smooth. Not bitter at all. What is it?
- Paimon: It's called a Snow-Covered Kiss! Whisk milk until it froths, and then gently pour it over some juice. It looks like it's covered by a layer of snow.
- Paimon: Don't ask why it's called a kiss, though... Paimon doesn't get it either. It's probably just a gimmick to get it to sell better!
- Shenhe: A gimmick?
- Paimon: Uh, Paimon's just guessing... Maybe it's more of a romantic description!
- Shenhe: Romantic?
- Paimon: Uhh... It's hard to explain! Stop making Paimon come up with things.
- The milky foam doesn't have much taste to it...
- It's kind of like snow on the mountains...
- Paimon: Mm-hmm, that's right.
- The moment you taste the sweetness of the juice...
- Like a sprout pushing through the ice to give you a kiss...
- Shenhe: ...Oh.
- Shenhe: I see. I seem to understand now.
- Paimon: Oh? Really?
- Paimon: But wait, why is Paimon the one who's confused now!?
- Shenhe: Occasionally, I chew on divine herbs as I wander about in the mountains. I have witnessed the moment a new sprout breaks through the soil.
- Shenhe: The elation in my heart then does bear a resemblance to what I'm experiencing now.
- Shenhe: Thank you for helping me understand these obscure names, (Traveler).
- Shenhe: I might need your help again sometime in the future.

Quest Description"Bartender Academy Week" has come to an end. It is time to bid farewell to Luka.
- (Talk to Luka)
- Luka: Wow... Business certainly has been picking up in the tavern recently.
- Luka: Some customers came for the drinks, but most came for you.
- Paimon: Hmm... Why is that still hard to believe...
- Luka: I've never seen a more successful Bartender Academy Week. We earned both money and reputation this time.
- Luka: Anyway, well done my friends.
- Paimon: Huh, it's only been a few days and now we're buddies?
- In some sense...
- He's not entirely wrong...
- Luka: I've been meaning to ask, would you consider staying and working here?
- Paimon: No can do. Though unlimited refills is enticing, Paimon made a promise to keep traveling with (him/
her). - Luka: Okay then, I won't twist your arm. In fact, Charles had mentioned that to me, as well.
- Luka: Well, feel free to come back and visit the Angel's Share whenever you like. And, remember to bring your friends!
- Sure thing.
- Luka: Good luck on your journey, Traveler!
