==Idle Quotes==
: What a waste!
:: "Those closed-door research projects are a complete waste of money!"
;During A Parade of Providence
: Blowing research funds...
:: "Don't tell me they're blowing all of our new research funds on the Interdarshan Championship..."
==Thoughts==
: Shatir: (Hmph, hopefully those earmarked funds were actually spent somewhere useful.)
==Dialogue==
:Shatir: It's not fair. All those secret research projects are sucking up budgets that should be ours.
: Budget?
::Shatir: Yeah, the budgets.
::Shatir: Sadly, even great things like knowledge can be thwarted by money.
::Shatir: The Akademiya has been spending more and more budgets on classified research over the past years.
::Shatir: Instead of maintaining a financial black hole, they should fund more practical disciplines like archaeology.
::Shatir: With a lack of self-reflection on history, we would get a short end in real life sooner or later.
::Shatir: Next time I apply for funding, I must get Vikram to join me!
:: About Vikram...
::Shatir: Vikram is my friend. He must be your friend, too.
::Shatir: You know how it is. As long as he's there helping with the negotiations, you can always get more funding than you expected.
:: I've only heard the name.
:::Shatir: What? You don't know about him? Hm... Well, he has been busy recently with the thing about the next Grand Conservator.
:: It's my first time hearing this name.
:::Shatir: What? There are people in Sumeru City who haven't heard of Vikram? Well... Maybe I'm the one who's taking it for granted, since I haven't met anyone who didn't know of him.
:::Shatir: He's been in the limelight recently, and is a strong candidate for the next Grand Conservator.
::Shatir: I don't know what other people think, but other than Lisa, who according to legends has become Mondstadt's Grand Conservator, Vikram should be the most suitable candidate.
::Shatir: After all, if the person in charge of the collections is as unreasonable as the one managing the funds, this study will be dead in the water.
: See you.
::Shatir: Goodbye.
==Event Dialogue==
===A Parade of Providence===
:Shatir: A pity that knowledge so great is constrained by matters of Mora...
:Shatir: And when there are wealthy sponsors, the wealth is not fed into valuable research but rather burned on frivolous competitions...
:Shatir: You mean the sponsor? Hm... I haven't heard much about them, but they should be a good person.
:Shatir: Even merchants who think of nothing but profit should not be judged with prejudice so long as they are willing to place emphasis on the development and preservation of knowledge.
:Shatir: ...Because, when it comes down to it, almost anything is better than someone who wastes money.
==Trivia==
* Although he does not wear his school crest, it can be assumed that Shatir is a researcher of the Vahumana Darshan given his interest for archaeology and concerns about the Akademiya's lack of self-reflection on history.
