Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionSearching for three kitties in Mondstadt might not be the easiest thing in the world...
What the Kitties Like[]
- (Talk to Diona)
- Diona: Hmm, their tracks end here... looks like they ran off somewhere else.
Then how do we find them?- Diona: Don't worry, those cats are very stubborn, but it's because they're stubborn that they're also easy to understand. Heh, I have another idea.
- Diona: Let's pay a visit to Marjorie at With Wind Comes Glory. Roger broke his cat toy recently and I ordered him a new one there.
- Diona: Maybe he snuck out because he didn't have anything to play with...
- Seems like you know him really well.
- Diona: I—I only know these things because I want them to do their job and not mess around!
- Diona: C'mon, let's head over to Marjorie's store.
- (Talk to Diona by Marjorie)
- Marjorie: Oh, hello Diona. You must be here for the cat toy you ordered? I just finished preparing it and made it extra durable according to your request. Your kitty should be able to play with this one for quite some time.
- Diona: Much appreciated! Margaret will come and settle the fees later.
- Marjorie: No problem! So, that cat named Roger... Is he usually at the Cat's Tail?
- Diona: That's right, he's almost always in the tavern.
- Marjorie: Wonderful! I'll definitely make some time to head to the tavern and play with him.
- Diona: Oh, I see... Well, you're welcome to visit anytime.
- Marjorie: I gotta say, you're awfully particular when it comes to take care of that cat. Hehe, you even provided me a list of materials to use for his cat toy.
- Diona: That's just because Roger tends to get excited whenever he plays with the customers. He always ends up ruining his toy. This time we needed to make it more durable so that it would last longer.
- Diona: He usually just lounges on the cabinets when no one's around...
- Maybe he just needs someone to play with?
- Diona: You really think so? Hmph, I'm not interested in figuring out what those cats are thinking. They're just stubborn, that's how all cats are.
- Diona: Let's head over to see Sara at Good Hunter, she always makes Nelson's cat food.
- Diona: He's the one that always eats the most. And even though he's always eating, he somehow weighs the lightest. I really have no idea what he's up to all the time...
- (Obtain Cat Toy ×1)
Maybe he just needs someone to play with?- (Talk to Diona by Sara)
- Sara: Welcome to Good Hunter... Oh, hey Diona! How can I help you?
- Diona: Hello Sara, I'd like some more of that cat food I bought last time.
- Sara: Oh, is my favorite kitty Nelson hungry again? Haha, hold on one moment, I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you.
Sara orders the kitchen to make cat food...
- Sara: Alright, here's the cat food. It hardly takes any ingredients to make, so it's on the house!
- Sara: But please, if you can bring Nelson with you next time... Everyone wants to pet him!
- Diona: Sure, I—I'll see if he wants to come.
- You think cat food will do the trick?
- Diona: Nelson's not usually very fond of people, but as soon as he smells some Dried Fish, he'll do anything you say.
- Diona: And once he starts eating, ugh, he doesn't ever stop, someone has to drag him away from the food... Kinda like the old drunks at the tavern.
- Diona: But the amount of cat food isn't too much this time, so it'll be fine if he finishes it all.
- Diona: Alright, we have all we need for now, let's go find Roger and Nelson. We'll deal with Paisley later.
- Diona: Roger always likes to sit in high places. Huh... maybe we should go check the rooftops.
- Diona: Do you know how to get on top of buildings here? If not, you can just wait down here and I'll take care of it.
- I'm an experienced climber.
- I climb all the time, it won't be a problem.
- Diona: Really? You don't look like much of a climber, but if you say so. Let's go up and look for Roger together.
- (Obtain Cat Food ×1)
To Catch a Kitten[]
- (Finding Roger on the Rooftop)
- Diona: Wait, see that cat there? That's Roger! Oh, he really picked a high place to sit this time...
- Diona: But don't get too close. If we startle him, he might run away.
- Diona: Okay, remember all the things we prepared? Now's the time to make use of them.
- Diona: So do you remember what would be better for attracting Roger?
- Use the cat toy.
- Diona: Hey, you've got a pretty good memory. That's right, cat toys are Roger's favorite.
- Use the cat food.
- Diona: Cat food? Are you sure? Like I said, Roger would probably prefer the cat toy.
- Let's use the cat toy then...
- Diona: So you do remember. Well hurry up and take out the cat toy then.
- Let's use the cat food anyway.
- Diona: Hmph. Fine, have it your way.
- Roger: (Roger doesn't seem to be interested in the cat food...)
- Diona: See? I told you it wouldn't work. Roger definitely would like the cat toy better. Now hurry up and get it out.
- (−3 Hearts)
- You use the cat toy to attract Roger...
- Diona: Wow, he let his guard down almost immediately. Looks like he was just waiting for someone to come play with him.
- Diona: That little rascal... He always looks so smug, but the moment he sees people, he suddenly becomes all loving and affectionate.
- Diona: No wonder the customers like him so much. The first thing they ask when they visit the tavern is if Roger is around... yeesh.
- Well, he is really cute after all.
- Diona: Yeah, that's the problem! Who cares about specialty drinks when you have these fluffy little kitties to play with, right?
- Diona: If you ask me, the tavern doesn't need any more new drinks to attract customers. Just get more cats and people will come!
- I think the customers visit the tavern primarily for your cocktails.
- Diona: Well, obviously! The Cat's Tail is a tavern after all. No matter how cute these little kitties are, they're only there to complement my cocktails.
- Diona: Alright, let's bring along Roger and go find Nelson.
- Diona: Now Nelson likes places that are warm. In fact, the last time I went looking for him, I found him in the bush next to the blacksmith. So let's go look for him there.
- (Finding Nelson behind the Blacksmith)
- Diona: Yup, I knew we'd find Nelson here... and he looks like he's about to fall asleep. Huh, could it really be more comfortable than in the tavern?
- Diona: Anyway, let's take out the things we've prepared. I'll let you choose which to give him.
- Use the cat food.
- Diona: That's right! Nelson loves eating this stuff, the cat food will definitely make him happy.
- Use the cat toy.
- Diona: Are you sure you want to use that? I'm pretty sure I told you what he likes before... Have you forgotten already?
- Let's use the cat food then...
- Diona: So you've finally remembered. Just hurry up and take out the cat food already.
- Let's use the cat toy anyway.
- Diona: *sigh* You really don't know how to make cats happy, do you? Fine, if you insist have it your way.
- Nelson: (Nelson doesn't seem interested in the cat toy...)
- Diona: See? He didn't even glance at the cat toy.
- Diona: C'mon just hurry up and take out the cat food!
- (−3 Hearts)
- (If 0 Hearts left)
- Hangout Event Ended: The cats seem unwilling to listen to you. Did you go about coaxing them the wrong way?
- You use the cat food to attract Nelson...
- Diona: Don't the customers at the tavern already feed you enough? How can you still be so excited to see food all the time?
- Diona: Oh, and there you go snarfing everything down as always... Why do customers like you so much? They even fight over who gets to feed you!
- Diona: Are you just pretending to be hungry all the time just to get the customers to come take care of you?
- Diona: Hmph, what a cheeky little guy... No wonder customers completely forget about their drinks after seeing him.
- Maybe you should take a hint from him and do what he does?
- Diona: Take a hint... from him? Ha, forget it! We should probably just get more cats at the tavern, they seem to attract more customers than my drinks.
- Your specialty drinks attract lots of attention already.
- Diona: Of course! You should see the looks on those old drunks' faces when Nelson spills over their cocktails in the tavern.
- Diona: Go ahead, pick him up. He doesn't weigh much. I really have no idea how he stays so light...
- Diona: Alright, let's go find Paisley. He used to always sneak out to go to the Cathedral before, so let's start there.
- Does he like cat toys?
- Does he like cat food?
- Diona: Nope... he doesn't like either of the things that Roger and Nelson like. I'll tell you more when we get there.
- (Finding Paisley by the Cathedral)
- Diona: Aha, just where I thought I'd find you, Paisley.
- So what should we do now?
- Diona: We don't need to do anything. Paisley doesn't fancy anything special, he just does whatever he's in the mood for.
- Diona: To sum it up, he's just a self-centered little cat.
- Diona: Even back at the tavern, he hardly ever interacts with any customers. Usually he prefers to just play with the other kitties.
- Diona: But enough about Paisley, let's just take him and head back. I'll pick him up, he doesn't usually run away when I carry him in the tavern.
- Diona: Uhh, wait. You want to pick him up? I'm telling you, Paisley just ignores strangers.
- Meow, meow...
- Paisley: (Paisley doesn't seem to be responding...)
- Diona: See? No response at all... Here, just let me do it.
- Alright, I'll leave him to you.
- Diona: Listen Paisley, just be good and stay there, okay?
- Paisley: (Paisley lovingly walks over and rubs Diona...)
- Diona: Good kitty, ohh that'll do. Hmph, you really are pretty cute when you're being good...
- Diona: Hey! Why are you looking at me like that, huh!? He only listens to me because I feed him all the time, that's all.
- Diona: For some reason, many customers actually like his personality. Once Paisley bobbles his head at them, they all start looking like they'd be willing to buy him cat food for the rest of his life.
- Diona: If only we got a few more cats at the Cat's Tail, then I wouldn't need to spend all my time making drinks anymore. All I'd have to do is take care of the kitties and let the customers come and pet them.
- That actually might make more money...
- Diona: You agree as well? Ugh, fine! Once I get back I'll suggest getting a few more cats, and let them attract all the customers. My specialty drinks aren't what the customers are after anyway.
- No one would know about these cats if it weren't for your specialty drinks.
- Diona: Well, of course! If it weren't for the Mora my drinks bring in, how would we pay for their toys and food?
Branch 1[]
- Diona: You know what? Just bring the cats back to the tavern. That's why you came in the first place, right? To see the cats. Hmph! I'll walk back myself.
- Why don't we just go back together?
- Diona: I have to hurry back and convince the tavern to hire a few more cats. They're the key to attracting the customers, after all.
- Diona: Cocktails... Hmph! No need for those anymore!

Branch 2[]
- Diona: Roger, Nelson, and Paisley... Yep, we've found them all. Let's hurry and bring them back, otherwise they won't be able to work when the tavern opens tomorrow.
When the Cats Come Home[]
- (Upon returning to The Cat's Tail)
- Margaret: Oh, it looks like the kitties are back, as well as our customer.
- Diona: Hey! I'm not one of the cats!
- Diona does fit the theme of the tavern nicely.
- Margaret: Of course. In fact, Diona is our best bartender.
- Diona: Hmph. Please don't misunderstand my work as a bartender here. It's actually the first step in my plan of bringing destruction to Mondstadt's alcohol industry.
- Diona: You've seen the drunkards stumbling around the city, right?
- Diona: No matter how well-dressed or honest of a person they actually are, once they start drinking, they become terrible people.
- Diona: Nothing good comes of alcohol, it makes people foolish, lazy, and ugly. That's why I plan on making the most disgusting drink there ever was. Everyone will realize how terrible alcohol really is!
- Diona: That way, Mondstadt will finally be rid of alcohol and freed from its snarling teeth.
- Quite the grand plan you have there...
- Diona: Of course, and that's why I became a bartender in the first place, I must understand anything and everything there is to know about alcohol. This is the first step in my plan.
- Why didn't you just go to Angel's Share to work instead?
- Diona: Angel's Share? Hmph! Dawn Winery is the root cause behind all the drunks stumbling around Mondstadt. I wouldn't go anywhere even remotely associated with them!
- But, everyone seems to really like the drinks you make...
- Diona: I—I'm still experimenting! It's more difficult than you think to make the most disgusting drink the city has ever tasted!
- Diona: Anyway, I'll find a way to make my diabolical cocktail and keep everyone away from alcohol. Hmph!
- Diona: Although, I haven't discovered how yet, but I will!
- Diona: Anyway, didn't you come all this way to just see the cats? Now that all three of them are back in the tavern, why don't you go inside and play with them?
- Diona: Oh, and in return for all your help, I'll make a special drink just for you... non-alcoholic, of course.
