Hello hello! :D Thanks for answering. On closer look, I see the influence level was around lvl 10– the bar had just extended so much that it seemed gone (and i was pretty tired when I made the original post). However, I think the romance flag is gone because he only reacts now to Trophy or Weapon gifts and no Courting (as before, they were Favorite status). There’s also nothing in his bio, but I’m not sure if there is supposed to be or not. If there’s a way to check in-game through one of the sheets, I’d love to know to confirm for sure.
Granted, my hiatus was.... uh. About three years, so. I’m not surprised I’m rusty at picking stuff back up. If I’ve overlooked something, please let me know, I’m happy to correct.
