Then the player can either choose "Feel free to share your heart with others." or "Thank you, let me know if you ever feel smothered.". I think this gives the player a little more agency while at the same time not removing Halsin's fluid nature.

If what you're saying here is that you think this option should lead to Halsin trying to be monogamous for the player, then respectfully, no, I don't agree with that at all. (Sorry, I can't quite tell if that's what the "smothered" line is supposed to mean.) When I suggested what I did, I meant solely for Tav to be able to say that they personally don't want other partners for themself, with no bearing on how Halsin approaches the relationship. I don't want Halsin to compromise on his beliefs for me- that would make me, personally, beyond uncomfortable.

Sorry, poor choice of words from me. I'm not trying to suggest for him to become monogamous all of a sudden. What I wanted was Tav/origin to just reassure Halsin about being in a relationship with them since I get the vibe that he's avoiding it due to possible past trauma. Maybe restricted, instead of smothered, would be a better word? I just wanted to suggest an option like that to go along with yours, apologies if it made you uncomfortable.
