Sorry to hear that! ISP woes are awful, I wish we had more options where I live instead of exactly one.
MC is getting more confident (to a degree) as things progress, I can see him start to joke about it at some point, but also recognize the weight of trying not to break anyone's heart. Siofra, Ina, and soon Alicia are definitely going to drive that home - all are pretty aggressive about what they want.
I'm lucky the ISP I was able to get is a good one!
I noticed that with Ina, she feels the MC is the closest thing she has to a friend and while they give each other grief a LOT, I suspect that's because she feels she can tease him in a friendly way. Siofra I'm curios on, and Alicia...as in Selendis's daughter Alicia? Or just someone who shares the name?
One thing I noticed revisiting the "report to Selendis" action. She mentions a "possible compromise, where everyone is unhappy" Shouldn't that be everyone is happy? I realize compromises aren't great sometimes, but if everyone is unhappy about it...
And if anyone says you can't learn things from video games, I had to find out what an awl was after seeing Gareth refer to himself as one. Therefore, video games have expanded my knowledge of tools!
Ina is definitely excited to have a friend, even if she won't admit it (easily) lmao.
Alicia is Selendis's daughter and the final guaranteed party member.
The compromise comment is intentional. It's a reference to how no one gets everything they want from compromises; gallows humor on Selendis's part.
I know some of this stuff from a weird past with plenty of farm experience, but it's fun to look up some of it too! I research a lot of stuff to try to get ROUGHLY feasible content, tho obviously having magic and magitech gives me a lot of wiggle room. Always a good way to learn!
