" ishtar seems really cold at first, but i think she's quite sweet. she's a person honest with her thoughts regardless of the situation. she's steadfastly loyal to the general mahamatra and to her convictions. in a way, i think that's some of the things we share in common, and it's what i admire about her. "

" as for her past? while i'd like to know her full story, there's no need for me to pry. she'll tell me when she's ready, and i'm okay with that. "

" the scribe of the akademiya... in terms of his professionalism, i can commend him : he has high standards, is straightforward, and little tolerance for bullshit. but as a person? " alaia sighs deeply, pinching the bridge of their nose. " he's deeply insufferable. i get the impression he doesn't have a lot of friends- he's rude and abrasive, and condescending. while he may call it bluntness, it's more just choosing to be an ass. " they shrug. " he and i have very different takes on the world- it's hard to challenge him and his worldview halfway, and understanding him is even harder, but i think he feels the same way about me. he forces me to get out of my comfort zone, and vice versa. "

" bennett... i worry about him a lot. he's so sweet and thoughtful, and so accident prone- and some of the other member's of the mondstadt guild treat him so poorly. it's unfair! "

" he's super sweet, really respectful of both of our time- if he needs to come and see me at the cathedral- it's for a real reason, not because he just wants to see me. but even if he did just come and see me- it's always nice to have him around. it feels like he really likes me as a person, and not just as an idol. "

" he's so earnest and honest, it's so cute- and he never seems to let any of his injuries or misfortunes bring that bright smile down on his face- so, i guess i'll just have to keep an eye on him. "

" osial... for as long as this humble salt god can remember, he's been a grumpy god. he's short tempered, brash, he dislikes other's, and he's an honest, loyal friend, who speaks his mind with his heart. in the archon war- he tried to convince me to fight; to stand up for myself. at the time i would've never abandoned my ideals of peace and pacifism, but looking back- he had a point. there were no winners in that game. "

" he can be a stubborn ass- pardon my language, but sometimes he does need to ' get outside touch grass ', like the youth of the harbor say. but i care very deeply for him and his sour, grumpy demeanor. "
