UI Quest Quest Description

Columbina is having a spot of trouble in the Silvermoon Hall...
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 01.ogg Columbina: ...Here. This is for you. That's my share done, yes?
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: Hey, it's a drawing canvas. Wait, that means...!
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 02.ogg Columbina: Ah. You're just in time.
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Well, if it isn't Maalaus, our Great Painter! Long time no see!
Icon Dialogue Talk White So, what are we "just in time" for?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 03.ogg Columbina: I just took Maalaus to the moon for a bit.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Paimon's sooo jealous of how you just... said that, like you were visiting the garden next door or something.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Still, what did you go there for? Looking for inspiration?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 04.ogg Columbina: That's half right. We also selected a location for an "exhibition." Do you recall?
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Paimon does! Maalaus's Moon Goddess exhibition! Don't forget to invite us when the time comes, okay?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 05.ogg Columbina: Yes, of course. In addition, Maalaus seems to be able to sense subtle changes around her.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 06.ogg Columbina: She's told me that I have changed a lot since returning from the moon.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 07.ogg Columbina: That's why she wanted me to take her there, to see if there was something special about it.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Heh! Now that's an artist for you, alright...
Icon Dialogue Talk White So, this special thing...
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 08.ogg Columbina: I'm not sure either. I took Maalaus to many places, but none of them satisfied her.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 09.ogg Columbina: That is, until I brought her close to your ship.
Icon Dialogue Talk White Our spaceship?
Icon Dialogue Talk White Well, that's certainly quite special...
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 10.ogg Columbina: But after bringing her closer, I found that she wasn't interested in the ship itself.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Huh? What does that mean?
Maalaus: !!!
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 08.ogg Paimon: Ohh, she's flying around you, Columbina.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 11.ogg Columbina: Haha. She did so back then as well.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 12.ogg Columbina: I suspect that her real interest lies with how I looked after seeing the spaceship.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 09.ogg Paimon: How you... looked?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 13.ogg Columbina: Yes. I was reminded of when (‍Traveler‍) and I went there together.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 14a.ogg Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 14b.ogg Columbina: We sat atop the ship, gazing at Teyvat. (‍He‍/She‍) found the truth about the past, and I found my "home."
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 15.ogg Columbina: Just thinking about it gave me a sense of peace... or perhaps, happiness.
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 16.ogg Columbina: Yes, you are right. These are not things I would have felt before.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 17.ogg Columbina: So, I told Maalaus our story, including what happened after we reached the moon.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 18.ogg Columbina: She seemed most pleased after that, as if she had found the inspiration she so desired.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 10.ogg Paimon: Ah. So now it's time for the great artist to work her magic, right?
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 11.ogg Paimon: Heh, you didn't take Paimon up there back then, so she's pretty curious what Maalaus is gonna paint too!
Icon Dialogue Talk White And what are we going to use as paint this time?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 19.ogg Columbina: This time is something special.
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 20.ogg Columbina: Maalaus says she wants paints that belong only to us.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 12.ogg Paimon: And... what does that mean?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 21.ogg Columbina: I believe she means things that will remind you about this journey, what you have gained from it, and the joy it has brought you.
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 22.ogg Columbina: Don't worry. Maalaus just wants to see such objects and feel them. She wouldn't use anything so precious as paint.
Icon Dialogue Talk White What did you give her?
Media:vo snwq301 12 columbina 23.ogg Columbina: Soil from the moon, and the card you gave me for Moon-Prayer Night.
Media:vo snwq301 12 paimon 13.ogg Paimon: Oh, so basically, it's gotta be something that represents this adventure, right? Okay then. (‍Traveler‍), you pick!
(Talk to Maalaus)
(‍Traveler‍): (Colors that represent this part of our journey...)

Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 01.ogg Columbina: Hmm. A good choice.
Maalaus: ~!
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 01.ogg Paimon: She seems pretty pleased too— Whoa, straight to the canvas she goes!
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 02.ogg Paimon: Y'know, now that Paimon thinks about it, Maalaus's paintings pretty much cover your story from when you were born 'til now, Columbina.
Icon Dialogue Talk White And that story isn't over yet.
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 03.ogg Paimon: Yup! And Paimon wants to see more of our great painter's work, anyway.
Maalaus: !!!
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 04.ogg Paimon: Oh, done already? Quick as ever, huh.
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 05.ogg Paimon: Let Paimon see... Oohh! This is so pretty!
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 06.ogg Paimon: Paimon had no idea Teyvat looked so beautiful from the moon...
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 02.ogg Columbina: Hah... Now I can understand why Maalaus says that I have changed.
Media:vo snwq301 13 paimon 07.ogg Paimon: Hmm? Why's that?
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 03.ogg Columbina: When I see this painting, I remember...
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 04.ogg Columbina: That as I sat on the moon, watching Teyvat, I thought about how I'd always been looking for a "home" of my own.
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 05.ogg Columbina: But now, I suddenly have two homes, both of them places of such beauty.
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 06.ogg Columbina: It was then that I realized that perhaps "home" is wherever the things and people you cherish are.
Icon Dialogue Talk White A lovely thought.
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 07.ogg Columbina: Thank you. I think that after this, I'd like to take the kuuhenki to the moon more often.
Media:vo snwq301 13 columbina 08.ogg Columbina: You're welcome to come visit my "other home" as well.
(Quest completes)
(Talk to Columbina or Maalaus, optional)
Maalaus: !!!
Media:vo dialog snwq301 columbina 02.ogg Columbina: Oh? You'd like to be a guide for other kuuhenki? Of course. I think this will be a most lively journey.
