In the graveyard area of East Noblecourt is a gravekeeper who’s having trouble keeping a troublemaker away from the place, since his age doesn’t allow him to be as spry as he used to be. In the western side of Noblecourt, in the southeastern corner, is a NPC named Accomplished Graybeard, who has an item that will help the gravekeeper. Steal/Purchase the Codger-friendly Bow from the Graybeard and bring it back to the gravekeeper to finish the quest.

There is an alternate solution for this Side Story, should you want to head in that direction. In Western Noblecourt Flats, there is an NPC by a tent named Impresario. You don’t want him, but if you go south from that NPC, you will run into another one named Awkward Boy. Using either H’aanit or Olberic, Challenge/Provoke the boy and upon defeating him in the duel (only a strength of three, so easy enough; weak to spears), the quest will be over. Note that if you go this second route, you can head back to the gravekeeper and speak with him for a quick, extra scene.
