It's going to be quite trying for the poor woman. Young, beautiful, swearing a life debt... to a still rather uncouth guy who's like, "I dunno, I hate telling people what to do, and my chief romantic interest is a woman with five kids and some badass burn scars."Togashi Saruko wrote: ↑Sun May 31, 2020 2:57 amI am noticing that Sora now has a female companion, whom he also saved...

Yeah I can't upgrade a trait this game unless the next exp dispenser is a lot bigger.
So not sure what I should do with overflow.

Re: OOC Chat
Spent mine. Bought some skills and sign language. Next XP drops will probably to buy increase Ninub'es Stealth and buy some skills since she is sorely lacking.
Also, might buy off a Disadvantage at end of game if I have XP.

Re: OOC Chat
Birb nicely salvaged a half-baked idea of mine into Ayumu requesting to come back to Nezumi city to learn of their craft, as well as the craft of the humans of the south they've been in contact with.
So definitely.
(learning the Nezumi language will be expensive though)
EDIT: Actually, you know what we need? A true imperial embassy down there.
