Dialogue[]

Noelle decides to emulate Kaeya by heading to the Angel's Share and attempting to gather intel on any threats to Mondstadt's security.
Noelle goes with the flow and ends up agreeing to work a shift as waitress at the tavern to help Charles out. This is not quite what the plan was, but Noelle is no quitter...

Copying the Cavalry Captain[]
- Charles: Oh, it's the Honorary Knight and Noelle. Can I get you a drink? ...A non-alcoholic drink, of course.
- Noelle: No need... We didn't come here to drink...
- Noelle: I wanted to ask if... um, if there's been anyone... causing any trouble in the tavern lately?
- Charles: Troublemakers? Hmm, let me think... Actually, there was one.
- Noelle: Oh, really?
- Charles: It's that guy drinking at that table over there... Payne. He keeps ordering refills of our strongest drink, Death After Noon.
- Charles: Look at how he's wobbling. If he passes out drunk, that could spell trouble.
- Noelle: Yes... that certainly sounds like a lot of trouble... although, that's not quite what I was asking about...
- Noelle: Umm... Is there anything in the tavern that has been... out of the ordinary lately?
- Charles: Out of the ordinary? Hmm, let me think.
- Charles: Yes, as a matter of fact, there is. There are still some empty glasses on the tables upstairs that need clearing away. Must have been left there by the customers this morning.
- Charles: But I am busy with the accounts at the moment, and if I can't find time to clear the tables before the evening crowd arrives, things could get difficult.
- Noelle: Really? That sounds truly terrible... Maybe I can help?
Noelle, you're forgetting why we're here...
- Noelle: Oh... Sorry, I couldn't help myself...
- Noelle: Ahem... Mr. Charles, what I was really trying to ask was...
- Charles: Oh, I know! You wanted to know if you could help out, right?
- Charles: Surely that would be asking too much... I have yet to thank you properly for helping us move those kegs last time, and here you are offering to help again... I couldn't accept your offer in good conscience...
- Charles: Err... that being said... we are quite overwhelmed right now. So if it's all the same to you, Ma'am, would you mind serving the customers for a while?
- Noelle: Umm... Umm...
- Noelle: O—Okay then. It seems you are in great need of assistance...
- Charles: Oh, thanks a million. I will leave you to serve the customers, then. Start by taking this Death After Noon to Payne, and then maybe you can clear the tables on the second floor?
- Charles: That should put us back on track. Okay, I should get on with the accounts, so for now I will leave the running of the tavern in your capable hands.
- Noelle: Wow... So this is what happens when I try to go with the flow...
- Noelle: It appears that Captain Kaeya's way with words does not come the most naturally to me...
I can't say I'm completely surprised...
- Noelle: But... But waitressing in the tavern should be a good means of gathering intel, right? It's quite a common motif in the books I've read.
- Noelle: I just need to keep my eyes and ears open while I'm helping Charles with the tavern duties.
- (Talk to Charles again)
- Charles: Thanks, I'll leave the tavern in your capable hands.
- (Serve the Death After Noon to Payne)
- Noelle: Excuse me, Payne, here is the drink you ordered...
- Payne: *hic* Wha— What's that? Put it to one side... I think I need to sober up...
- Payne: This drink is strong... *hic* ...I don't feel so good...
- Noelle: Mr. Payne! Are you alright? Do you need to take a rest...?
This is a tricky situation...
How are we supposed to get any intel out of this guy?
- Noelle: Hmm, let me think... If I'm not mistaken, Captain Kaeya would first get his subject drunk before asking them any questions...
Surely he's too drunk to tell us anything by now...
- Noelle: This... appears to be true... We must find another approach...
- Noelle: Hmm... Captain Kaeya would probably appear cordial and sincere as a means to convince his subject to lower their guard, would he not?
- Noelle: One must start by focusing on the person's individual circumstances and communicate a complete willingness to help, then slowly move the conversation in the desired direction...
- Noelle: Ooh, but how can I offer to help Mr. Payne right here and now...?
- Noelle: I've got it! Perhaps the dried fruits that I prepared for my exam could help him to sober up?
- Noelle: Ahem... Mr. Payne, please eat this... It will make you feel better...
- Payne: What's this...? Tastes sweet and sour...
- Payne: Whew... I do feel slightly better now...
- Payne: Oh, you're... Noelle, isn't it? And next to you is...
- Noelle: Mr. Payne! Are you feeling any better? Is there anything you wish to tell me?
- Payne: Next to you is... Ah, it's the Death After Noon that I ordered! Did you bring this to my table? Thanks, Noelle!
- Payne: Haha... *hic* This drink... is so strong...
- Noelle: Mr. Payne? Mr. Payne!
Back to drunkenness again...
- Noelle: How can this be...
- Noelle: Drinking like this is disastrous for one's health...
Maybe plying the customers with alcohol isn't the best approach...
You could just listen in on their conversations instead.
- Noelle: Hmm, perhaps... Although, maybe it would be easier if there were a few more customers?
- Noelle: ...Oh, Mr. Charles also asked me to clear the tables on the second floor...
- Noelle: If the second floor is filled with customers, perhaps I will have the opportunity to overhear a thing or two?
- (Talk to Payne again)
- Payne: That was a great drink... Same again, please...
- (Go to the second floor and clear the tables)
- Noelle: It's such a mess... I must clear everything away quickly so that we can serve more customers!
- Noelle: So many stains... Once the tables are clear, they will need to be washed with a good detergent...
- Noelle: We're almost done! Ah, a clean and tidy environment always brightens my mood!
- Noelle: Phew, finally, all clear. Let's go check in with Charles.
- (Talk to Charles)
- Noelle: Mr. Charles, everything has been dealt with.
- Noelle: Is there anything else you need help with?
- Charles: Wow, already? Uhh... The customer at the table by the window just ordered a couple of things. Would you mind taking care of them?
- Noelle: Okay, leave it all to me!
- Charles: Huh, with Noelle here, the tavern feels livelier than ever.
- Noelle works busily at the tavern, late into the night...
- Noelle: Phew... It's not easy working at a tavern.
- Noelle: But... at least it's over now.
Well done! Did you manage to gather any intel?
- Noelle: Well done to you too! ...Oh. Ah... intel...
- Noelle: No! I got so caught up with working that I completely forgot we were here to gather intel.
- Noelle: Wh—What should I do? There are hardly any customers left that I could talk to...
- Noelle: Oh, am I so incapable of handling even a simple task like this...?
- Charles: *sigh* Thanks for all your help today, Noelle!
- Charles: I've been a bartender here for more than a decade, and I've never seen a happier crowd of drinkers than the ones who were here tonight.
- Charles: I can only assume that with you serving the customers, the wine tasted all the sweeter.
- Noelle: I'm quite sure that can't be true... I didn't do anything particularly special.
- Charles: Customers don't come here purely for the drinks. They come for what the drink represents — some time to relax after a long day of work...
- Charles: Often, customers choose this tavern not just for the quality of the drinks we serve, but also for the great atmosphere.
- Charles: You may not have brewed the wine, or even mixed the drinks... But for many customers, service with a smile is what makes the difference between a glass of wine and a great night out.
- Charles: It seems this tavern could do with more than just a single bartender. What we need is some proper waiting staff to really take care of the customers. Perhaps I could convince the boss to hire a waitress...
- Charles: Anyway, I digress. Thanks again for all your help tonight!
- Noelle: Wow... I am so glad to know I made everyone so happy...
It's okay that you didn't collect any intel.
You are looking after Mondstadt in your own way.
- Noelle: Yes... Even though I failed to imitate Captain Kaeya...
- Noelle: It looks like I was still able to help those in need.
It's the same with an exam. You'll always have strengths and weaknesses.
It's the same with an exam. Just aim to do well in the things you're good at.
- Noelle: Yes... I will keep that in mind.
- TravelerTraveler). Noelle: Thank you, (
- Charles: Ahem... Heh... Sorry to interrupt, I sense that it's probably not the best moment...
- Charles: However... Could I ask for one last little favor?
- Charles: Drinking to make merry is all well and good, but passing out drunk in my tavern... That's a pain.
Who needs to be taken home?
Someone passed out?
- Charles: *sigh* Payne ordered two more Deaths After Noon over the course of the night...
