This is very normal for the games here at the Café, but I will recklessly kill anybody off who does this in my game,
for the simple reason that the nature of this scenario doesn't permit this kind of freedom.
Communication, is, of course, allowed, and colourfully explaining your own character's action in the scene I outline is obviously what the game is about for you.
Also, minor admonishment: Zilfer, you are an acolyte of the Eternal Order, right?
That means you have about as much charisma as Osmund at the end of the movie Black Death.
(If you haven't watched that movie, watch it.)
That means, no fraternising with infidels, no friends, no life quality. You are a templar-like warrior monk worshipping the essence of death.
People are made to be ruled. And you rule them.
In short, no cuddling.
