Innocent Expression → Kind Expression

[AN: Out of a note of respect to the commenter making this change, I'll reiterate their challenge here: ""Given the abundance of choices making James a horny degenerate with near no regard for keeping Arma, well, Arma, and "Princess-Knight" almost always ending up changed, I present a challenge: A storyline that doesn't alter princess-knight at all and has James actually try to consider Arma whenever he makes a change (he can still be horny, just not a selfish degenerate.)"" This does not in any way forbid or restrict any changes I'll actually generate, of course, but hopefully this way even those who don't peruse the comment section initially get a chance to see it.]

Let's see... I think I'll dip my toes in the water first. Arma's been shockingly good to me so far, and while I'm worried about my circumstances I don't feel the need to be particularly **** or crazy. At least not for my first change. So! Let's start off simple and see what happens if I tweak 'Innocent Expression' just a little bit and replace it with 'Kind Expression.'

The hallway shifts, taking me by surprise as the opening at the end grows closer. At the same time, I find myself still sitting fully on my ass - not yet -risen - with my phone angled up at Arma.

As for Arma herself, she's straightened out and is not kneeling quite so far forward. Her armor is marginally more practical as well, with the stockigns replaced by armored greaves, and the strange cleavage window plated over... but I've still got to dock her for the exposed shoulders and thighs, it seems. Heck, she's nonchalantly flashing me her panties even... I wonder if she's even noticed that, in this reality?

As for her expression it's... actually pretty much the same. Her head's not tilted anymore, but she's giving me pretty much the same gentle smile as before. I guess that puts any thoughts regarding her sincerity to rest, huh? Now, where to go from here?

It seems even seemingly small changes can still have surprising ripple-effects, it may be wise for me to think things through before I do something a little too crazy... but, then again, if things go too far awry I can just fix it with another dose of the phone's power, right?

(princess-knight, pink hair, braided hair, kind expression, tilted head, one hand forward, kneeling forward on one knee, plate armor, modest skirt, tiara, inside a castle hallway)

[AN: And thus, the 'nice guy' timeline is born. Hopefully it doesn't die in the cradle.]
