To Aectaeon's relief, Eveia didn't move from her spot right away.
'Is she not going to follow the professor? If not, then it works out for me. Now, I don't know if she will stay for longer. Should I strike up a conversation?'
Aectaeon contemplated for a few seconds, ultimately deciding on approaching Eveia. He quickly got on his feet and walked towards the woman. Once he was in front of her, a panel appeared.
{-{ Actions }-}
{-{ -> Ask }-}
{-{ -> Praise }-}
{-{ -> Leave }-}
'Does the praise function even work? Will this increase a character's favorability?'
Although he was questioning the option, Aectaeon went ahead and tried it.
{-{ Praise }-}
{-{ "You've done well." }-}
{-{ "You've been of help." }-}
'Hmm, these phrases don't look like they will help. After interacting with this woman, I can tell that she's not the simple type. If anything, she's too stoic, almost the same as me.'
