Voicelines About Xianyun (Cloud Retainer)

Voicelines About Cloud Retainer
Shenhe	When the Wind Is Blowing: Yes... This reminds me of Master. She loves to ride the swift winds of Qingyun Peak. About Us: Red Ropes: My master gave me these red ropes in order to restrain my impulses. But during our journey together, I feel I have finally grasped the key to all of this. Somehow, controlling my strength — knowing when to restrain myself, and when to unleash — it comes more naturally to me now. I think that what saves me from myself is not my red ropes... but you. If you understand what that means to me, please stay by my side.
Ganyu	About Shenhe: I actually don't know her all that well — I've only heard bits and pieces from Cloud Retainer. From what I've heard, she can be quite ferocious. Whenever her temper gets the better of her, she is likely to start obliterating her surroundings. I wonder if she's just... bored. Should... Should I recommend some work to keep her occupied? * Ganyu talking about Shenhe and at the same time mentioning the Cloud Retainer
Yaoyao	There are adepti everywhere in Liyue. I've met loads of them! Aunty Cloud Retainer, Uncle Mountain Shaper... But Aunty Cloud Retainer's my favorite! She's given me all kinds of adepti gadgets and taught me all about how to use them. I've learned so much from her! * Yaoyao talking about the Cloud Retainer in her IV voice line
