*Vorim shrugs.* "I know it can't be changed immediately or forever. But I doubt he's leaving the Dojo soon, so I might as well help him make friends." [u][b]Y-Yeah.[/b][/u] [spoiler]I didn't think that Vorim really captured social anxiety. He was talking easily within two interactions with each character. It's much more gradual than that. So I'm sort of resetting his progress with every character except Sketch and Sapphire.[/spoiler]

[spoiler] Fellpool is using those characters again[/spoiler] Yeah, I was never good at talking to people -
[spoiler]But... She was already using them... And their backstory needs to be fixed if they're going to work on Tatakai. Are you just now learning that she's reclaimed them?[/spoiler] "Huh, looks like you two have something in common." [u][b]How d-did you fix i-it?[/b][/u]

*Vorim looks confused.* "That can't seriously be how you managed to beat your social anxiety... Are you serious?"

Unintentionally, yes... -
[u][b]H-How did i-it help?[/b][/u] "Vorim, you aren't doing that." [u][b]I'm just c-confused.[/b][/u]

Well, after I did leave, I had to be persuasive to stay alive, being able to get food at restaurants for half off, obtaining allies, and just putting on this Mortar Charm you see today -
"Well, I guess that could work for you... But Vorim has never been put in that position and I don't want him to be put in that position."

Well, come in guys. *He opens his door and ushers you in* -
*They both walk in, looking around.*

*You notice that the room is darker and lit with candles. There is an olive green tablecloth on the dining room table and the house smells of steak* -
"Are you cooking steak? Were you expecting someone?"

Oh, yeah, Serenity is coming over for dinner -
"Oh, well we can leave if want."

Oh, you're fine, she's not coming over until seven -
"Ah, okay... What time is it again?"
