So in the cave area Ayla is going to have to find the way through it, and this old fella is going to be waiting by the exit to kind of guide her out. Not exactly guide, per se, but show that you've actually found the exit. And the idea is that he's been waiting there for a very, VERY long time. It's also going to be the first bit of dialogue exchange with an NPC.
And NO, this is not one of the sexy interactions lol. I hope this one isn't getting any hopes up.
It's just a draft at this point but I've been having fun finding the character design. The image kind of ghosted behind them is the pencil sketch I used for his original concept design, vs the Clip Studio work up.
