Options are nice.
Something like the Anyxine date comes to mind.
Confess to her
Wait for her to confess
Remain frens.

Yeh, your proposition works better. This way, you leave it to the player to decide if he is going to sauve them or flip the script.
Tetsuya must propose... but the Champ must convince him to take the initiative, all the while thinking it was his idea. Done through a cunning series of dialogue choices and innuendo, with subtle hints, intimations, and the occasional blunt statement (high-risk, high-reward). The game needs more dialogue battles. When the Champ succeeds enough to make Tetsuya suspect it's what they want, but is convinced it was his idea... He proposes.
And then you can decline.
And then you can decline.
Ideally, at a certain point in the relationship, he would hint that he would probably accept such an offer, then leave it up to the player. How do non-noble kitsune propose in the Old Country? Learning that and clumsily trying to emulate it would be my preference.
He should take the initiative as it's good when a character approaches the player as it makes them feel more lively, even if some people would not like not having that part squarely in their control.
Either/or, though if given the choice I think It would be better coming from him than from the champ.
I would love to see him take the initiative and propose to you.
I wouldn’t say bottom, i think is just cuter and romantic if he does that. I mean having a noble propose to the warrior has more impact than the other way around in my opinion.
Also, his character makes me think of someone that would do it.
BOTTOM!!!
On a more sincere note, I get it. But at the same time, we are the hero of this tale and one would think that they would also be willing to propose. Considering how our first attempt at wooing him was him shutting us down, I would like to have an option to do so again -- successfully this time.
Edit: Also champion can be a Kitsune of a higher standing. And there are plenty of stories, romantic and so one, where noble gets swooned by a warrior.
Edit, Edit: In the end, you are not in any way wrong in what you are saying. Sorry If I sound like that. I am just trying to justify my stance.

Taking a brief break from writing Tetsuya to write a repeatable encounter with the shortstack imp from the Knot Cave. I'm also considering the option of letting her be a Camp Follower. Brain has been cooked with real life things going on, and my hopes is that working on side projects will keep it fresh until I'm back at full capacity to write the bulk of Tetsuya's expansion content again.
Please please stay on the follower path or make her a summon... or both. Both is good. She'd be a fun lust based summon. Be neat if you got something special with her if you choose the warlock path (betrayal). Another reason to be excited about the knot cave. I can't wait!
Having her as a summon would be a neat idea
I'm looking forward to the knot cave. although the wait is killing me from the inside out. I feel like a man dying of thirst waiting for it to rain in a desert.
Yeah, if there's a time to drop the Blaidd riff, it would be now.
Have you seen the r63 fanart in the archives? It's amazing. How do tough furry guys end up the best girls? I swear...

For the people looking forward to the Knot Cave, I have received word that the dungeon will be ready around December. Now we've got a date to look forward to. Also, here's a sketch of corrupt Drifa.
Is the corruption an accidental corruption, i.e. Champ doesn't realize they are corrupting Drifa, or is it an intentional thing? I prefer corruption mechanics where the path to it is unintentional in game wise - Either through seeking sex through less than innocent means (example: Milly) or by negligence (Viv or Jael). Actually thinking on it, do we even have a corruption path yet where the Champion's intent is to demonize/corrupt? I think it's better when unintentional at least from a tainted champion's mindset. Intentional demonization is more a full corruption Dark Knight's thing.
It's debatable. On the player's side of things, you can see which choices give her corruption points, but there's some actions that can be justified as things done in the heat of the moment or things performed for the benefit of the party.
eg:
- Her going into the pool of corruptive liquids in order to pull a treasure chest out
- Letting her pick up a cursed yet powerful sword
- Letting her give in to rage and beat the shit out of a restrained dude (he did a bad thing, but he's not cruel person)
I like to balance the line. My current character actually maintains a Tainted state, looking for ways to purge corruption when he feels he's nearing a threshold. I mean not all corrupted characters actively seek to corrupt. Aileh is an example. Don't always have to be white and black in these things. Anything that would obviously corrupt I'd pass on, like pushing Azzy/Liaden into the pool. Or whenever they add demonization for Brienne, Cait, etc. Viv made sense to corrupt because the Champion didn't intend to do it, so as a play I let it happen. I keep demons in my Wayfort, they aren't inherently evil and can be reasoned with.
They are technically inherently evil. Some may manage to retain their original personalities or a semblance of reason but their very being is corrupted and has a corrupting effect on whatever they touch. Demonic influence is just that, demonic.
Thanks for putting so much work into the dungeon. I really do love that you’ve given the player so many options. I imagine it wouldn’t have been easy to write, so thank you so much for your effort
