so im going to guess that the higher caliber of material you get on your rating means you treated asterion worse like i tried being the worst scumbag to asterion ( im sorry i was curious ) and i got gold
I think its about respecting him and earning his trust more than being nice. You need to find a balance between helping him when he needs it and respecting him when he tells you he doesn't, even if he looks like he does. Let him walk on his own, and don't push it with the bath.
