Kinich, a 5-star Dendro character in Genshin Impact, comes from the Children of the Canopy tribe in Natlan. He serves as a Saurian hunter and is often seen alongside his pixelated dragon companion, Ajaw. Kinich is known for his reserved demeanor and tendency to speak little. Now that he is a playable character, fans are eager to learn his thoughts on other characters such as Mualani, Mavuika, and Kachina.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of Kinich’s voicelines regarding various Natlan characters in Genshin Impact.
Kinich’s voicelines about Mavuika, Mualani, and other characters in Genshin Impact
It hurts
For most of my life, I’ve been getting others to pay a price. Then, the Pyro Archon used the Ode of Resurrection to bring me back from the Night Kingdom, and suddenly I was the one paying the price… Only then did I finally understand it from both sides. To the stronger party, the “price”is a bargaining chip, and to the weaker party, it’s a sign of what’s at stake. What matters is whether you have the courage to make the gamble.
While Kinich does not directly reference Mavuika in this voiceline, he reflects on his own experiences as the weaker party after the Pyro Archon resurrected him using the Ode of Resurrection.
Mualani
I’ve taken jobs from her before. She offered to pay me to act as a “battle advisor,”and the Mora was good, so I accepted. After working with her a few times, though, I noticed she’s not exactly a pushover. When I pressed her about it, she eventually admitted that “battle advisor”was just code for mentoring Kachina in wilderness survival… So a “battle against nature,”then. Hmm, I’d probably just call that “life.”Anyway, that business is concluded, and I now have two new acquaintances.
Kinich discusses how Mualani initially brought him on as a “battle advisor,”which turned out to be a ruse for training Kachina instead. Through this experience, they formed a strong friendship.
China
I saw a job posting about her once. Some lowlifes from her tribe got jealous that she’d received an ancient name, and basically tried to order a hit on her Saurian companion… They paid the price, I made sure of that.
Kinich reminisces about a troubling incident involving Kachina, where individuals from her tribe attempted to harm her Saurian companion due to jealousy over her achievements.
Chasca
I’ve seen how she handles her work. Our methods of conflict-resolution are quite different. I tend to get one party to shut up, but she silences both. By the time they wake up in their sick beds, they have nothing further to say, because they’ve forgotten whatever it was they were fighting about.
Kinich offers insight into Chasca’s unique conflict resolution style, explaining that her methods effectively silence all involved parties, resolving disputes entirely.
Xilonen
I saw a strange job posting once while passing by the Children of Echoes’ territory. The requester was looking for a hardy plant that wouldn’t take much maintenance, so I brought over some Saurian claw succulent seeds, along with a pot and some fertilizer. It grows well all over Natlan, even in the most barren areas. But when I went to collect my payment, I saw that not a single seedling had sprouted from the pot. I paid the price for overestimating Xilonen’s gardening skills. This was one of the few failed jobs on my record.
Kinich highlights Xilonen’s gardening ineptitude, despite her prowess as a master craftsperson, as he recounts his failed job involving hardy plant seeds.
Iansan
Kinich: I’ve taken jobs from her before. More of a long-term collaboration, really… She makes fitness meals for her personal-training students, with everything measured out to the exact calorie. To keep this up, she needs a steady supply of fruits that meet her strict quality standards and size requirements. A single bruise or bug bite, and she’ll reject the entire batch. Most people find this impossible to work with, but I’ve got a good eye for these things… plus a reliable means of disposal for fruits that don’t make the grade.
Ajaw: Wait, what?. ..THAT’S what you make my juice from!?
Kinich frequently assists Iansan by providing the necessary fruits for her student meals, despite her strict standards. The unexpected revelation leaves Ajaw, the self-proclaimed “Almighty Dragonlord,”astonished and slightly disturbed.
They read
As you can probably guess, I’ve taken jobs from her before. I helped her purchase a heavy stack of paper-based reading material from an Inazuman merchant. Not to pry into my clients’ private affairs, but… don’t the Masters of the Night-Wind use woven fabric instead of paper?
Kinich discusses a past engagement with Citlali, where he helped her acquire paper-related materials, which seemed unusual, as the Masters of the Night-Wind typically prefer woven fabric.
Ifa
Kinich: I’ve enlisted his services before. It was when Ajaw said he was “ill”… Whatever it was, he was ranting and crying incessantly. So, I figured it only made sense to take him to the best sauro-vet I could find. And he really is a pro. Ajaw wasn’t inside for long, but when Ifa brought him out, he was cured.
Ajaw: Gah… What do you know about medicine! He’s not even a real doctor, he’s a quack! A charlatan!. ..You weren’t even there, you don’t know what he said! Ugh.
When Ajaw fell “ill,”Kinich took him to Ifa, a highly regarded sauro-vet. However, Ajaw seems to harbor some resentment about the experience.
