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

- (Submit

Moon-Prayer Blossom From Columbina) - Columbina: Hmm. A good choice.
- Maalaus: ~!
- Paimon: She seems pretty pleased too— Whoa, straight to the canvas she goes!
- 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.
And that story isn't over yet.- Paimon: Yup! And Paimon wants to see more of our great painter's work, anyway.
- Maalaus: !!!
- Paimon: Oh, done already? Quick as ever, huh.
- Paimon: Let Paimon see... Oohh! This is so pretty!
- Paimon: Paimon had no idea Teyvat looked so beautiful from the moon...
- Columbina: Hah... Now I can understand why Maalaus says that I have changed.
- Paimon: Hmm? Why's that?
- Columbina: When I see this painting, I remember...
- 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.
- Columbina: But now, I suddenly have two homes, both of them places of such beauty.
- Columbina: It was then that I realized that perhaps "home" is wherever the things and people you cherish are.
A lovely thought.- Columbina: Thank you. I think that after this, I'd like to take the kuuhenki to the moon more often.
- Columbina: You're welcome to come visit my "other home" as well.
- (Quest completes)
- (Talk to Columbina or Maalaus, optional)
- Maalaus: !!!
- Columbina: Oh? You'd like to be a guide for other kuuhenki? Of course. I think this will be a most lively journey.
