Dialogue[]

While Jean is ill from overwork, you've been tasked with handling some citizens' commissions on her behalf. Where has Margaret's pet cat Prince run off to this time?
- (Approach Margaret and Venti)
- Venti: ...So, yours is the cat that went missing.
- Paimon: Venti! Have you come to help?
- Venti: Me, here to help you? Why, on the contrary, it is I who needs helping!
- Paimon: But Paimon just saw you talking to Margaret about Prince...
- astral iron strings! Venti: Aha! So, Prince is the name of the feline fiend who thieved my spare
- Venti: Though it gladdens my heart to see that the free-spirited ethos of Mondstadt is alive and well in creatures great and small... Still, it's a bit audacious!
- Margaret: Haha, Prince is a mischievous little rascal alright!
Spoken just like a parent who chooses to spoil said rascal!
- Barbatos... Paimon: Indeed. Just like
- Venti: Ahaha, yes, quite... quite... Ahem! Now, let's see about getting ourselves an audience with his little highness, Prince Rascal of Mondstadt!
- Venti: I have a performance tonight, and without my spare strings, I shall have to disappoint my audience.
- Paimon: What would a kitty cat want with lyre strings anyway?
- Margaret: Everyone knows cats go crazy for a ball of string!
- Paimon: What!?
- Anemo energy. That makes them extremely durable, so I normally just roll them up in a ball to make them easier to carry. Venti: These lyre strings are made of astral iron, which contains
- Venti: That's a trick of the trade from a traveling bard!
- Paimon: The strings contain Anemo energy?
- Elemental Sight again! Paimon: That'll help us! Traveler, it's time for you to use your
- Paimon: Paimon's sure there must be some elemental footprints or something.
- Margaret: Thank you all. Prince should be somewhere around the Marketplace. It's a black cat you're looking for.
- fish, it's little Prince's favorite food. Maybe it will help you find him.
- (Obtain
Fish ×5)
Margaret: Oh— Take this - (Obtain
- (Talk to Margaret again, optional)
- Margaret: Prince should be somewhere around the Marketplace. Remember, he's got black fur.
- (Talk to Margaret again after looking at wrong spot, optional)
- Margaret: Where have you been looking?
- Margaret: Prince should be somewhere around the marketplace. Remember, he's got black fur.
- (Upon approaching Prince)
- Paimon: Hey, look! Over there... it looks just like the cat Margaret was describing.
- Paimon: So it must be Prince?
- Paimon: Wow, Prince has very keen senses. It didn't take much to scare him off.
- Paimon: See if you can approach him crouching from behind, that way your footsteps will be quieter.
- Paimon: It must be difficult not being able to float, hee-hee.
- Paimon: If you're anxious to find Prince, why not coax him to you with some Fish? Kitty cats do love eating fish.
- Fish, go grab some more from the lake. Now, back to it! Paimon: If you've run out of
- (If you fail to capture him)
-
- Paimon: Hmm... His senses are keener than we thought! He can't have gone far though, why not track him with your Elemental Sight?
- Paimon: Next time, try creeping up from behind... quietly does it...
- Paimon: Or if you're feeling patient, use some fish as bait and catch him off guard.
- (If you fail several times)
-
- Paimon: Drat! He's run off again.
- Paimon: But where is he going? Hmm, Paimon wonders if...
- (If you go outside the main gate)
-
- Paimon: Paimon thought Prince would be in the city.
- Paimon: If you got things you need to do, you can always come back and look later.
- (Talk to Margaret and Venti)
- (If you captured Prince)
-
- Margaret: Prince! Where did you go running off to? Thank goodness you're safe...
- Paimon: He made sure we had our work cut out for us looking for him.
- Margaret: Oh Princey, how could you leave me like that...
- Paimon: Looks like those two need some time to themselves...
- Paimon: And here are your astral iron strings, Venti.
- Venti: You found them! Wonderful! I was not optimistic they would turn up.
- (If you failed to capture Prince)
-
- Margaret: Prince! Good boy, that's my Prince, I knew you'd come home to me...
- Paimon: *panting* Gah! After all that searching...
- Margaret: Oh Princey, how could you leave me like that...
- Paimon: Looks like those two need some time to themselves...
- Venti: Look at you... Did Prince take you on a bit of a wild goose chase, then?
- Venti: Heh... Cheer up, even if you didn't catch him, he's back here thanks to you.
- Venti: And he still has the astral iron strings with him!
- Venti: I daresay that a private performance played using these very same strings would not be an excessive way to show my gratitude! ...Ah, ah...
- Paimon: Ah what?
- Venti: ACHOO!
- Venti: *cough* Haha... Apologies. At this distance, my cat allergy seems to be rearing its head...
- Paimon: Oh, now Paimon gets why you didn't go looking for your strings by yourself...
- Venti: Hehe, anyway, thanks for the help, I'll be going now— a—achoo!
Unsorted Voice-Overs from v3.3[]
- Paimon: Hey, look! That black cat looks really familiar. Haven't we seen it in The Cat's Tail before?
- Paimon: Yep, that's Prince alright!
- Margaret: Thank you all. Prince should be somewhere around the marketplace or the residential area. It's a black cat you're looking for.
