Alright, let's sort out what actually happened. The only thing you really helped Nauxus with was finding the spy.

As for the rest, from his perspective:

The first time, you promised to help them take over the camp, but it ended in failure. The others with you claimed they never saw you show up—only the phantom of a wolf. You only appeared after they'd already returned and reported back.

The second time, he has no way of knowing you stopped the bomb. All he knows is that he brought you along to persuade the rogue lizards. When he drank poison to prove his resolve to them—after specifically telling you which color flower was the antidote—you still brought back the wrong one. The persuasion failed, and if he hadn't prepared an antidote in advance, he would have died because of your mistake.

The third time, he asked you to retrieve the stolen fruit, and you never showed up again—not even by the end of the festival.

Unlike Thane and Axel, who care more about outcomes, Nauxus is the type who focuses on how you do things. Given everything he's been through, he absolutely despises betrayal—and all of this has left him deeply insecure. If anything, it's a miracle he tolerated you as long as he did. The only reason is that he likes you and kept trying to believe in you.

Sure, you may have eventually helped both sides find their missing children, but by now, he's completely disillusioned with your past behavior. He won't see it as you helping him—he'll feel more like you only helped him as an afterthought while helping the bulls.

The key to building a romantic relationship with him is making him feel like he truly matters to you—like he's more important than others. He won't respond well to feeling like an afterthought, like someone you only helped because you were already helping someone else. He doesn't want that kind of charity.

And I'm fine with locking his friendship/romance with it, similary how you can't with Axel unless you basically destroy the lizard tribe, he was feeling pretty bad all though the war, but I still can't swallow him saying we weren't really on his side.

Because like, after the war ended, all of our actions were explained, and he learned the context of why we were like that, I feel like he would understand how we were actually helping him as much as the bull tribe.

Making so his soldiers didn't fight the bulls, and if something went wrong, we would defend his side, risking to expose ourselves to stop a bomb from killing his guards, and possibly other bystanders close by, and again, while in the war climax, arguing with the other leader just to save prisoners.

I feel like it should be something more like "You didn't do anything WRONG per say, but I also felt absolutely betrayed every step of the way, and even outside of the war business (fruits) you weren't really there for us, so I can't really don't  think this will work out, but thank you"

(Of course, unless you were just generally bad to the lizards, killing the spy AFTER knowing he was a father, siding with the bulls with the fear potions, letting Axel kill the prisoners, etc, then I feel like the canon dialogue would fit.)

Either way, again, I know coding & writting is hard, and people just saying to add stuff to a game is annoying, but I feel like us having more moments  working for both and gaining their trust would be cool.

Afteralll, not only you stopped hundreds from dying, but you went out of your way to help them even the little things.

Oh wait, you're the developer, I just wanted to start by saying I really like the game, this nickpicks aside.

Us getting to know each member of the tavern, or learning all about the lost kingdom and actually finding Bread, the whole demon realm and the Cerberus

(Named them Lynn, Matt and Ricky, from Left Middle, Right,, 4 letter names, minus Ricky because he's too derpy for it.)

And I still have a lot to go seeing theses comments.

It is a fantastic game, if you disagree with my take, it's totally fine, it's YOUR game afteralll.

I guess that before knowing what exactly gave or took point, I thought I was by Nauxus side by most of the war (and that's why I gave the fruit to Axel, to balance it out).
