Opening 3
.
Three days have passed since Jean got sick, as another day shines down on the City of Freedom. Lucius and Paimon return to the city, having just completed another commission for the Guild, further boosting their ranks.
Paimon: Another commission done and dusted! What should we do now?
Lucius: Well, we've already done three commissions today, maybe we can just relax for the rest of the day.
Katheryne: Lucius, please, over here.
Katheryne calls out to Lucius as he and Paimon walks over to her.
Lucius: Katheryne? What's up?
Katheryne: It has been a while since you joined the Adventurers' Guild. Are your adventures going smoothly?
Lucius: It's been great... maybe a companion would be nice but Paimon is still great by herself.
Paimon: Hehe! Of course Paimon is enough!
Katheryne: Hmm... is that so? Apart from your own skills, reliable teammates are also indispensable when adventuring. Another person to count on is always good, after all. But recruiting such dependable companions is no easy matter, is it?
Paimon: Yup, and it's even harder to get a guide as good as Paimon.
Lucius raises an eyebrow at that statement but decides not to comment.
Katheryne: Ah, yes, I do have some information that may be of help to you... Let me consult our records...
She skims through a piece of paper containing Lucius' records.
Katheryne: Ah, there it is. There's been a certain blond stranger who arrived in Mondstadt lately, dressed in the most unusual clothes.
Lucius: Blond and dress funny...
Paimon: (whispers) Could it be someone from another world like you?
Lucius: (shrugs) I don't know.
Katheryne: Nonetheless, you can look for him if you're interested. Perhaps he might accept your commission instead. He already declined the Guild's invitation.
Katheryne: After all, it is not uncommon for some adventurers to not want to be limited by the Guild, but be happy to accept a fellow adventurer's requests. And should this stranger be a strong adventurer indeed, he would certainly be a big help on your journey.
Lucius: Sounds like a tough customer to be honest.
Katheryne: Please don't talk down on yourself like that. You are the Honorary Knight of the Knights of Favonius, after all. Your deeds are the stuff of song for all the bards in the city even now.
Lucius: (sigh) Well, alright then. About that stranger... anything else about him?
Katheryne: Well, as to further news about him... You may want to ask Mr. Lawrence. He stands guard at the city gate, so he may know something about that stranger.
Lucius: Alright then.
Katheryne: I wish you every success, adventurer.

The two approach the Knight named Lawrence, who is stationed at the city gate.
Lawrence: Ah, Honorary Knight. Is something the matter?
