;(Upon obtaining the quest)
:Paimon: We previously agreed to guide Julien, and he should've recovered from his injuries by now, right? Why don't we go see him?
:Paimon: If he's learned his lesson, he should be waiting for us at the seaside camp, right?
;(Talk to Julien)
:Julien: Paimon, , you're here! Ah, indeed, one needs friends when on a journey outdoors.
:Paimon: Well, we did agree to show you the way, didn't we? Guiding people around is a walk in the park for us! Even though we'll be walking in a desert...
:Paimon: But are you sure you want to go back to Fontaine so soon? You made it all the way to Sumeru, after all. There's still so much to see here!
: The rainforest has some nice views.
::Paimon: There's lots of trees and rivers!
: The desert has some fascinating sights.
::Paimon: Sand and ruins as far as your eyes can see!
:Julien: They all sound really nice, but I feel that... I haven't made proper preparations for travel. This trip might've been a failure, but I suppose I did learn a lesson or two...
:Paimon: Oh, um... In that case, there's also great stuff to see nearby! It would be a pity if you missed them all.
: Paimon's recommendations are never wrong.
:Julien: If you insist... I guess it would be rude if I were to refuse.
:Paimon: Hehe, Paimon's Teyvat's number one guide, so leave the guiding to Paimon! Just remember to keep up.
----
;(Approach the marked area)
:Paimon: This place is filled with nature's scent! Doesn't it just make you feel like sketching? Doesn't it make you feel inspired?
: Now that's a stereotype.
:Paimon: Um... But it does make Paimon wanna pick up a brush! This place is so full of vitality, and the colors are so vivid...
: Ahem.
:Paimon: Oh...
:Paimon: Paimon's sorry... Paimon didn't mean to...
:Julien: Haha, it's fine. I just see something different, that's all. We can all appreciate beauty, right?
:Paimon: That's right! Paimon loves this place. It's almost as if it can purify your heart and soul.
: Not that you need it, Paimon.
:Julien: My friends, thank you for showing me such kindness — even to someone like me, who has failed to tell you the truth from the beginning.
:Julien: You are both indeed pure of heart.
:Paimon: Hehe... No need to exaggerate so much. Oh, and there are actually more unique sights than this!
:Paimon: Paimon's sure you know what she's referring to, . Let's show it to Julien as well!
;(Talk to Julien)
:Paimon: They say that artists will observe their subject from many angles before they start. Is that some sort of... "stereotype"?
:Paimon: We could have a look around first, and if that fails, we can find a vantage point with a better view!
:Julien: That sounds like a good idea. I'm ready to set out.
:Paimon: Hehe, shall we race to the destination? Are you ready, ?
: Let's go!
::Paimon: Let's go!
: Let's make some preparations first.
::Paimon: Alright then. Let's go once we're ready!
;(Begin the challenge)
:Paimon: Pepper should be fine. Julien... Well, try to keep up!
:Julien: This will be a challenge...
;(Fail the challenge)
:
;(After completing the challenge)
:Julien: Phew... I didn't think that drawing was such a taxing thing to do. If I had known that, I would've...
:Paimon: Looks like that was still a bit much for Julien...
:Julien: Well, I did just... recover from my injuries... *pants*
:Julien: But the sights here are truly unique. Indeed, I think it's strange that I never noticed them before...
:Paimon: The view's pretty good up ahead as well. Let's head over there — but be careful, okay?
;(Approach the marked area)
:Paimon: Right, as for the special view we mentioned previously, Paimon thinks Julien and Pepper can just watch it from the side!
;(After purifying the flowers)
:Paimon: How's that? Pretty nice, eh? Pepper also seemed really happy.
:Julien: Having seen this, I find that words seem superfluous. Caterpillar was right. There is such a wide world outside my metal box...
:Paimon: A metal box... You said that you lived in a very small place in Fontaine, didn't you?
: Ahem. Sumeru sure does have lots of sights to see, huh?
:Paimon: Ah, right, that's right! He's already decided to be a proper artist, so let's switch up the scene a bit to... what do they call it... broaden our horizons!
:Paimon: He might have said that he wants to give up, but Paimon thinks it's still too early for that! There's still time to reconsider...
:Paimon: Just think about it, Julien! There might be sights just as grand as this, or maybe even grander — things you've never seen before! Maybe they'll grant you the inspiration you need!
:Paimon: As for your color recognition, well, you said it yourself! We just "see something different"...
: But we can all appreciate beauty.
:Paimon: Yeah!
:Julien: Yes... Your words do make sense.
:Paimon: Those were your words!
:Julien: I... Haha, so I knew it. I knew it after all, but I just kept walking the wrong path...
:Paimon: We only met because Pepper brought you here, right? So we shouldn't just think of it as the "wrong path"!
:Paimon: Well, it's a shame that we couldn't help you find the path of the Oceanids' pilgrimage, though...
: Does that even exist...
:Julien: I've always believed it does, but... I think that my ability or lack thereof to find it is unimportant either way.
:Julien: After all, I've already found the answer I desire.
:Julien: Thank you, my friends. *sigh* How can I ever show my gratitude?
:Julien: If only I had bought those mysterious bird eggs... A mystical item like that, one that can help to ward off ill fortune, would certainly be of more use to adventurers like you.
: That does seem like a bit of a pity.
::Paimon: Wait, do you really believe in something that convenient, ?
: It's fine, but I don't think it's necessary.
::Paimon: Why not? Even if it can't really deflect bad luck, maybe... maybe it might taste a hundred times better than a normal egg!
:Julien: I will continue to stay here for a while. This place really calms the soul. It's quite good for self-reflection.
:Julien: I have a feeling that I might be able to draw something a little different this time...
:Julien: Thank you both, dear friends. I wish you smooth sailing in your journey!
;(Quest ends)
;(Use Nahida's All Schemes to Know on Julien, optional)
:Julien: (Is this what freedom feels like...)
;(Talk to Julien, optional)
:Julien: There's no need to overthink, right? I should just draw whatever I see... 
;(Investigate Julien's camp the next day)
:Paimon: Whoa... Is this the Vourukasha Oasis? It has a very... unique beauty.
:Paimon: Is this a letter from Julien? Let Paimon have a look...
:Paimon: "It's still an amateur piece, but I would like to dedicate this painting to you, my friends. There are a great many more views and vistas that remain to be drawn. If fate will have it, we shall meet again."
:Paimon: Looks like he's gone... Hopefully things'll go well for him in the future! And that he doesn't get lost again...
:;(Obtain )
;(Read the letter again, optional)
:Julien's Letter: "It's still an amateur piece, but I would like to dedicate this painting to you, my friends. There are a great many more views and vistas that remain to be drawn. If fate will have it, we shall meet again."
==Trivia==
* The player can read the letter in the camp again, but only once.
* When the player visits the camp after Julien departs, Pepper's dish has a Bird Egg on it, which suggests Julien tried to help Pepper with procuring food.
