Oh that would be an awesome addition, I suppose we'll have to see with later updates, however I can totally see either Qui or Tamarack jumping in to speak up for the character if they got in a really uncomfortable position.
It would quite fit with the patronizing attitude toward MC present in the game. I have also in one of my demo playthroughs tried playing super shy boy who got a hard time talking to strangers, so I like your idea.
