Idle Quotes
How's everyone doing...- Need to find some wine...
- As a Knight...
- Time to move out...
- Speaking of Mondstadt...
- (When the player is nearby)
- Hey!
- Impressive...
Dialogue
- Varka: Well met, Honorary Knight!
- Varka: Seems to me you've got quite the stronghold yourself.
How do you like it here?
- Varka: Couldn't be more at home! a true Knight of Boreas can build his den anywhere.
- Boreas...
- You make yourself sound like a wild animal...
- Varka: Animals adapt to their environment to survive. I've got personal experience in that regard — both after and during the expedition.
- Before the expedition?
- Varka: Some animals conceal themselves to avoid predators, often hiding in inhospitable terrain.
- Varka: Thorny bushes, perilous cliffs... the spires of the Favonius Cathedral, the rooftop of a certain knightly headquarters...
- Um, those last two don't seem quite right...
- Varka: Haha, those were my hiding spots after escaping the office! The others gradually got quite good at finding me, though.
- Varka: These days... I'd probably have to hide behind the wind barriers in Stormterror's Lair, or Dragonspine's peak during a blizzard...
- Maybe you could just stay here...
- I can make you another pillow if you need one.
- Varka: Thanks, but I'd rather do without. Sleeping more soundly would lower my alertness and ability to make a quick getaway.
- During the expedition?
- Varka: Yup. It took us through lots of desolate, dangerous terrain — we often had to make camp in hostile surroundings.
- Varka: We took cots and tents, of course, but there were some nights when we had no time to set them up.
- Didn't you have your own special tent?
- Varka: I did, but when my troops were freezing, I could hardly sleep soundly in comfort, could I? I always let the wounded use my tent instead.
- Varka: *sigh* If only we had a teapot like this...
- (Unlocks at Friendship Level 4)
- Would you like to chat?
- Varka: Chat? Sure, I'm quite the talker!
- Varka: ...
- ...Why so silent?
- Varka: ...I'm waiting for the drinks. Wait... Do you not have any?
- None at all...
- Varka: Chatting without drinks... Haha, so that's how you do it...
- You look a little lost.
- Aren't you usually an avid talker?
- Varka: I'm fine. As an experienced Knight of Favonius, I can quickly adjust to even the most unusual of situations...
- Varka: My expectations were a little... misaligned. Alright, let's go! Let's get this "conference" on the roaad.
- Um... conference?
- That sounds a bit formal...
- Varka: Every conversation without drinks is a "conference."
- Varka: I think my last one was probably when I had tea with the lovely ladies of the Hexenzirkel... Oh, actually, I may have attended a few during the expedition...
- Well then, since you brought it up...
- How did you break the ice with the Hexenzirkel?
- Varka: Ha, great question. First, find something you have in common, or bring up people or things they care about. For example...
- Varka: "Oh my, your child is adorable! A real handful, you say? Haha, well, that's just how kids are — never a moment's peace. Take my two for example..."
- Varka: "Looking for somewhere to settle in Teyvat? Well, it simply has to be Mondstadt! And just let me tell you why..."
- Varka: Then, once the conversation gets going, look for a new opening...
- Varka: "Since the young 'uns are in Mondstadt, why don't you join us too?"
- Varka: "Oh, I don't mean sign up to the Knights of Favonius. Let me think... would 'external support' be the right term?"
- Varka: Then, while they're still uncertain, go all in to assuage their concerns — and seal the deal!
- Varka: "Don't worry! All sorts of people call Mondstadt home. I suppose you've heard that even Lupus Boreas was once a wanderer from a faraway land!"
- Varka: "You don't need to do anything! We can handle most situations ourselves, and if we do need your help... I believe it'll be in everyone's interests."
- You've got quite the silver tongue.
- Varka: Haha, thanks! In return for your kind words, let me treat you to a drink!
- So you still want a proper "conversation"!
- (Unlocks at Friendship Level 7)
- Anything you'd like to do?
- Varka: Hmm... I was hoping to get my hands on the sand table I left behind at our Nod-Krai stronghold.
- Still at work on your tactics even here?
- That's not your style!
- Varka: Haha... That sand table was indeed brought along to perform serious tactical simulations.
- Varka: That said, I would lend my fellow knights said table when I wasn't using it so they could conduct mock training. Gotta hone their strategic acumen and all.
- Varka: Some of them happened to be big "Liyue Millennial" fans, so they brought out their own cherished chess pieces to mark friend and foe. Really heightened the immersion.
- "Liyue Millennial"...
- That astronomically expensive chess game?
- Varka: Later, they decided that mock training shouldn't be limited to just fighting — they wanted to include enemy motives, detailed scenarios, elements of exploration and investigation — oh, and negotiation...
- Varka: Then another knight suggested we take notes from Fontaine's "Tabletop Troupe" — they wound up created a brand-new game using that template and designing quite a few battle scenarios.
- Varka: The best maps, the best pieces, the best campaigns... You can probably guess what the result was.
- With such thorough planning...
- I'd probably want to play too.
- Varka: Ha! Imagination is an important prerequisite for combat adaptability. If you can have fun while honing your skills, that'd net you the best of both worlds.
- So tell me...
- Did you get hooked too?
- Varka: Well...
- Just as I thought.
- Varka: Ahem... It's more than just a game, though. I've come up with a ton of useful battle plans by playing it!
- Varka: Besides, the knights need someone to host their campaigns! Someone who understands battlefield intricacies, someone who's adaptable, someone who has the gift of the gab...
- You mean you're the Game Master!?
- Varka: Haha! It might sound like a drunkard's tongue twister, having the "Grand Master" as your "Game Master," but why not?
- Varka: The next time we get together for a game, you should join us, Honorary Knight!
- Varka: Come to think of it, this stronghold of yours... It would make quite the upmarket sand table!
- Varka: Maybe we could have everyone play as a chess piece themselves, engage in some combat... Hang on, that just sounds like real military training... Hard to say if it'd be more fun or just plain exhausting...
- (Between 6:00 and 19:00)
- Good morning, Varka.
- Varka: Morning, Honorary Knight.
- Varka: There's a pleasant breeze today. May it carry you gently on your journey.
- (Between 19:00 and 6:00)
- Good night, Varka.
- Varka: Hmm, you get some rest. As for myself... the night's still young!
Special Dialogue
When a character is invited to or invites themselves to their favorite set for the first time, the character will provide a reward. They will provide a reward for each of their favorite sets.
Inviting them to the furnishing set again will replay the dialogue, but no further reward will be given.
Weapon Forging Station
- Varka: Ha, not a bad place to repair my weapons. Turns out two swords require twice the maintenance.
- Varka: Weapons are the claws that the Knights of Boreas use to rend the flesh of their enemies, but they are also the hearts that hold our faith.
- Varka: The weapons of knights of yore often become legends, every bit as well-known as their owners... Tell me, what stories do you think will be told of my blades one day?
Bustling Border Town
- Varka: Walking around a place like this gives me the feeling I'm about to turn a corner and run straight into The Flagship.
- Varka: I tried no shortage of local libations while we were out on expedition. Drinks from Liyue, Natlan... But if we're talking about spirits, it's hard to look past Snezhnayan Fire-Water!
- Varka: However, all those miles and all that drinking only made me realize how much I miss the taste of home. There's something unforgettable about Mondstadt wine!
