Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionThe Smoldersleet Potion's phased trials are over. It is time to report back to Timaeus...
- Paimon: Well, we sure used our Smoldersleet Potions a ton of times back in that Domain, didn't we?
- Paimon: Guess it's time to head back and look for Timaeus!
- (Approach the crafting bench)
- Timaeus: You're back! How are the Smoldersleet Potions performing?
I just wish we could use it outside Domains.
- Paimon: Yup! That would take the cake!
- Timaeus: Oh? Seems like you liked it. Go on then, give us the details!
- I think there's room for improvement.
- Paimon: That's true... For example, it would be better if we could use it outside Domains!
- Timaeus: True. I was just discussing the issue with Ms. Ying'er. Please, give us all the details.
- You explain what happened during the test run in detail.
- Timaeus: It's just as you predicted, Ms. Ying'er!
- Timaeus: Our path for improvement is clear — we must somehow contain the sublimated substances within a set area.
- Timaeus: Perhaps we could reverse the special characteristics of dandelions to create special excipients that can prevent the substances from being affected by the flow of air.
- Timaeus: There is no precedent to such a method though, and we will need a great number of trials to prove its feasibility.
- Paimon: Wow, Paimon couldn't make sense of that at all.
- Paimon: Still, it feels like you made some important suggestions each time, Ms. Ying'er.
- Ying'er: Ah, I don't think I ever came up with such a detailed postulation.
- Ying'er: Well, my hardworking alchemist, are you trying to fathom my depths, or are you just trying to please me through flattery?
- Timaeus: I—I'm just expressing my admiration for your knowledge!
- Ying'er: Alright, alright. You'd best give it your all, now. Who knows? You might have to use some alternative sources of knowledge in the future, too.
- Ying'er: Don't forget to keep me posted once your research succeeds.
- Timaeus: Of course! When that time comes, I'll send you my best potions as a memento!
- Timaeus: You know, Ms. Ying'er, if you have the time, would you like to come with us to Wanmin Restaurant...?
- Ying'er: Oh, I'm afraid our academic exchange must come to an end for now. There are still many matters I must attend to at Scent of Spring.
- Ying'er: Don't forget to drop by often~
We will!- Paimon: Thanks, Ms. Ying'er!
- Ying'er leaves.
- Timaeus: *sigh* I couldn't say it in the end, huh?
- Timaeus: But considering that I'd already given her so much trouble, it was probably for the best that I didn't take up any more of her time.
- Timaeus: Alright then. We'll calm down a bit, and wait for a suitable opportunity...
- Paimon: What are you talking to yourself about, Timaeus?
- Timaeus: Uh, N—Nothing [sic]!
- Timaeus: Thanks for your help so far! As we agreed, I'll treat you both to a great meal at Wanmin Restaurant.
- I'd almost forgotten...
- Paimon: Ooh, that's right! Alright, alright, alright! Time for a great big meal!
- You go to Wanmin Restaurant with Timaeus and have a hearty meal.
- Paimon: Whew! Paimon's super full!
- Paimon: Actually, this research was pretty cool! You should bring us along next time you come to Liyue, Timaeus!
- You know, Paimon, somehow I doubt that you're in it for the research.
- You're just here for the free meal, aren't you?
- Paimon: C'mon! Paimon did help... ask for directions!
- Timaeus: Haha! Whatever the case, thank you both so much!
- Timaeus: But once I return to Mondstadt, I'll be throwing myself into improving the Smoldersleet Potion, so I'm afraid I won't be coming back to Liyue for some time.
- Timaeus: Maybe I'll have to ask you to help me deliver a letter. I mean, I still haven't properly thanked Ms. Ying'er for her help.
- Paimon: Eh? Weren't you two discussing stuff the whole time? Why didn't you just tell her?
- Timaeus: *cough* Well, uh, Ms. Ying'er's manner of speech is just too... too special! I must consider my words very carefully, and in such cases, penning a letter is naturally superior to speaking face-to-face...
- Timaeus: Well now, time presses. Let's head back to Mondstadt right now. Why, I can't wait to create the perfected version of my Smoldersleet Potion!
- Paimon: Traveler, do you get the feeling that Timaeus has been acting all weird ever since we said bye to Ms. Ying'er?
- Paimon: Paimon doesn't get it...
