If Akarion's transformation made it impossible to refer to 'her' as Akarion, then the small talk that concerns 'her' should probably have a variable to switch the names and pronouns.
The sprites for Rhianna should be adjusted for the change she has undergone off screen, currently she still wears her armour during the challenge.
The player also doesn't know how much influence they have after the challenge (if I read it correctly) so the request for three influence has to be made with little info as to how much the player would have left.
(Btw, the option in the courtyard said 'evesdrop' instead of eavesdrop.)
