Hello everyone! I've finished the leadership stat increase and politics stat increase and I'm nearly done with the combat stat increase, so as promised, here are some sneak peeks from the two stat increase scenes (with Irus and Elora).

"Perhaps, I will seek you out whenever I am in need of reassurance," she breathes. "Or perhaps, more."
