He is definitely not shy,we just don't hear his voice in dialogue scenes,idk why but they should do it for the main quest atleast

[@lunethheart]

This is actually a thing done pretty often in rpgs its so that the player can think of what they would say or how they would act in a situation

[@soniclid1]

[@Killjoyous__]

I like to think this is why she talks so much. To help traveler not only learn the language but help him understand things. Their friendship is so underrated!!

[@fero_zetta]

I also like to think that's why Traveler talks so little. Even if you have a grasp of the language (or even if you have been speaking it for years, like me) a second language is hard to speak because you have to construct new sentences with foreign vocabulary and foreign grammar rules... That is HARD!

[@Killjoyous__]

@@fero_zetta yeah!!! I’m so proud of them speaking whole cohesive sentences

[@HuggyBuddyOwO]

and this also meant 1 more thing, paimon knows the traveler's main language. which means the reason paimon isnt "weirded out" or "disbelief" when the traveler told her about himself before in teyvat is that she knows other worlds exist and know those languages.

[@fero_zetta]

@@HuggyBuddyOwO I doubt it. I just think that Paimon learnt the traveler's main language in the 2 months since they met, or at least she knows as much of that language as the traveler knows Teyvatian. With how quick she is to accept information once you give her a proof, it wouldn't be hard to convince her.

[@Killjoyous__]

@@fero_zetta also traveler could have picked up some of teyvats language before he met paimon. So there was probably a language barrier, but not enough to stop them!!

[@MapishNash]

Imagine teaching the traveler to speak then he calls u "Emergency Food"

[@glasperle77]

it's still not canon because in each dailies the traveler talks alone. and now even on many quests talking tons . having led the whole court with furina which is BS. they have 0 excuse that traveler isn't voiced anymore I will play muted until traveler has a voice or paimon is muted because paimon is annoying as heck (compare her old to her new voice then you will know xD)

[@luannelindley2224]

"How many does he have? Like two?? 😂 "Oh my"

[@Squiggles_Slime]

It's why the traveler doesn't talk much. The traveler isn't fluent in Teyvats language, so they can't say too much.

[@Neotheaterr]

Not only did she teach traveler Teyvat’s language, she also saved Traveler’s life in the Childe bossfight cutscene. As traveler was falling from the first floor of the Golden House, we can see Paimon pushing a couple of boulders out of the way from falling on the Traveler. This is irrelevant, but I love Paimon so much. She can be annoying, but she’s like our family.

[@baozah58]

In Inazuma, she panicked when the traveler was on the ground, also trying to wake him up. She really cares about them, she's so cute

[@sassykat2587]

That was such a good scene in general tbh, one of my favorites. Right up there with everyone coming together to save Liyue. 😊

[@chockitkat3776]

In sumeru's story, she cried waiting for Aether / Lumine when Aether had to go away. That was so wholesome, she really cares for us and really doesn't bear to leave us. She loves us and I honestly love Paimon even if she's annoying.

[@screech9416]

⁠@@baozah58Yeah, she was amazing in that scene. Not only that but she also didn’t budge even when Raiden was getting closer and closer. It was a “either I wake them up or we go down together” moment

[@Frovael]

There's a theory related to this one, on why traveler doesn't talk as much It's basically that traveler understands everything in...teyvatian???? Idk lol- but often has trouble talking so basically Paimon just talks instead of them :D There's also a thing in heizou's hangout event where he's like "Paimon's basically your voice" or something I just find it really cute, Paimon being a translator

[@Oscarus4250]

That's kinda like me. I understand English (almost) perfectly, and I can type it rather well, but when it comes to actually speaking... yeah, it's hardly understandable. To be honest, I've been hardly speaking throughout most of my life as I didn't have need to do so, being introvertic, coward, submissive and done with everyone's ego; so even in native language, I sometimes struggle to speak "correctly"

[@ctran1955]

Honestly genuinely I find Paimon very sweet and wholesome. So much of the genshin community just immediately hate her and find her annoying for no reason tbh. Sure you might not love her voice acting all the time and perhaps it gets tiring to always have her be the voice of traveler but the way she cares about the traveler so much during the Sumeru quests was so sweet. She waited for us to come back all day and was so scared, and cried when we came back! It really made me teary.

[@devizakura]

YESSS!!! Honestly she's like our (the Traveler's) little sister. We can lovingly bully her but I will throw hands anytime someone actually slanders her 😭

[@Crystal323100]

I like her voice until she starts getting a certain ear piercing tone that gives my ears legitimate pain vs her original voice from the first few versions where she sounded fantastic in all her dialogue but this hurt the VA's throat. Now I have to live with the ear death upon her screaming.

[@N95j]

yea, but she also was scared for the traveler in the inazuma quest. but also, idk why some people only knew she cared about the traveler in the sumeru quest lol

[@felinediscipline]

My favourite Paimon line is during the archon quest where you’re stuck in a dream. When the traveler leaves the city, they disappear for two whole days. When they suddenly appear back in town, Paimon comes flying in with tears in her eyes asking the traveler where they went, since they were only meant to be gone for ten minutes but not two days. This was the first time I felt sad for Paimon, because I felt the same confusion the Traveler was going through. Why is Paimon crying all of a sudden? What happened?

[@raerae1733]

[@angelicabelanio5092]

Not surprising since most of them just skips dialogue. They miss out on paimon and traveler's wholesome moments.
