SHAI WAS MY FAVOURITE
She was so cool and mystical and she gave me a little crystal gift ;_; how could she be evil.
Two of my characters were just utterly intrigued by her.
Oof.
Also, re: Zonin. Still my favourite PK. I wondered why the soldiers were so wary to get involved. So hey, thanks for that. :V

People read the server's face, body language, and tone as a happy, interested party who wants to ensure you are having a good time. That sounds like an attractive mate, so clearly they're into you.
Some people can read the signals 100% correctly, and have no clue about the intention. I want you to think I'm friendly and into you, because you're likely to leave a bigger tip than if I'm a robot-jerk.

The tells for anxiety/aggression/deception/attraction also have some overlap. Now I know what normies mean when they say that people are hard to read or give off mixed signals.

Joe Navarro has said numerous times that you need to cluster the indicators. Was it 3 deceptions in an hour long chat? Were they right after one another? And even then, are they lying about what they're saying, are they unconfident because THEY don't know if its the truth, or are they using deceptive body language because they are uncomfortable in the conversation?
Its a lot.
