I thought that if we keep her at low confidence, our champion sees her as nothing more then sexual relief tool. That is how I understood mostly.
No, Ryn's Confidence doesn't determine
Champ's emotions toward her. If authors discuss Champ's emotions, they usually only come in the context of
what the scene is.
For example, in the service top scene, I wrote Champ as being a solicitous, attentive, caring lover because that's what service topping
is. (Even DK Champ acts more or less this way, less out of interest in Ryn's emotions and more because, as I have Champ say, making somebody else cum is hot as fuck.) Champ acts this way regardless of how Confident Ryn is; if Ryn is low-Confidence she needs the boost, and if Ryn is high-Confidence she's excited about receiving and promises Champ she'll reciprocate as soon as she can. Or, from another perspective, the Festivus Ball. If Champ goes to dance with Ryn at the ball, I treat Champ's emotions like, well, a commoner/minor noble being asked to dance with a princess in a Disney movie. If Champ decides to pair off with Ryn at the end of the evening rather than listening to the elfsong of the valkyries or going with Hethia or Elthara or Kasyrra, I
assume that Champ has a particularly strong romantic relationship with Ryn and have them act excited and loving, and so on, because if you didn't care about her, why would you go out to have private sexy time in the gardens with her at the end of the evening? The tooltips that I make are intended to give players an idea of what kinds of emotions their Champ will be expressing in a given scene.
But there are obviously scenes, like ruining Ryn or monstrously assboning her or bullying her by frotting her cage, that have Champ act in a different way, because why would you do those things if you cared about her? Same energy,
mutatis mutandis.
And in none of these cases does Champ get locked into saying that they
actually love Ryn, because nobody can say that yet. Eventually, that might change. But either way, you can raise her Confidence without committing to A Relationship with her, but she will still hold Champ to be one of her closest, dearest friends.
Hopefully that helps! I
think that all that comes through okay in the writing, but I'm always open to suggestions for personal improvement.
