"Do you think you'll ever have kids?"
[...]
"I'm s-"
"It's okay."
"We might, some day."
"It's... we might."
"It's worth it."
"Can I tell you something?"
"You told me a story, once, about a night on the ship, when the captain played his song, and it started to rain."
"I didn't understand it, when you told me. Not at first. I thought it was kind of beautiful, but I didn't see what you were trying to tell me."
"But I understand it now."
"I have a story like it."
"It was snow, instead of rain."
"I had been cut, and cursed, and sold and sold and sold again, until I found myself in a wagon with a few others on a cold fucking mountain the middle of, of- wherever the fuck it was."
"Tomag."
"Tomag."
"And..."
"Locket."
"She was there. And she wasn't crying, but she wanted to. And I was scared and cold, and seeing her hold it back, I just-"
"When I started crying, she put her hand on mine, and she started to sing."
"It was a pretty song - one that I just... I knew that someone had sung it for her, when she was little. That it was common, wherever she was from. But I had never heard it before, and for some reason, that suddenly made me realize how far away I was. How long it had been."
"And that's when I finally accepted that you were dead. That I was alone."
"That was my rainy night on the ship."
"But we were wr-"
"We're not wrong this time."
[...]
"S-sorry. I..."
"No. You know what? No. Fuck you."
"Ri-"
"We were wrong then, and we can be wrong now."
"Rikken, please."
"I'm not saying you have to hold on to some... some false hope, but I, I-"
"I can't see you like this."
"I didn't get hauled through giants and sirens and whatever the fuck those flying... tentacle... orc things were just to sit here and watch you wither away in front of my eyes, Fekkri."
"You fought for us, and gods damn it, I'm not going to sit here and watch you give up. If you're not going to fight, I will."
"There's nobody to fight, Rikken."
"Of course there is."
"There's not. That's the point. There's nobody."
"What about your son? Huh?"
"You think he's not gonna have his snow on the mountain? His rain on the ship?"
"You told me, Fekkri. You told me what sparked everything. About the island. About- about mom."
"You did it for her, right? You did it because you believed in her, and more importantly, you knew that she believed in you. You knew that she would want you to keep going, even if she really was gone. Even when she couldn't do anything, she was still fighting for you."
"He needs to see you fighting. He needs to believe that life goes on. He needs to see that... that it doesn't just end, here."
"I need to see you fighting, Fekkri."
"I don't know what it's like to lose a child. I can't imagine, and I won't pretend, and I hope I never find out."
"But I know what it's like to lose a brother, and I won't do it again."
"I'm not ready to say goodbye again, Fekkri."
"Please."
"I miss you."
"Let's go fishing."
"I'll grab the stuff."

Oh my goodness I love that description. It's just so sad... this is right after Alana and Cricket's death and Cricket's resurrection I suppose?
It's great to see Rikken's conflicted personality, apologizing one second and then finally snapping back at Fekkri and telling him straight out how he feels.
Also... my god, I NEED more of Rikken x Locket. <3 That scene of her singing is so sweet and beautiful

Yeah, this would have been some short time after things started to sink in! Honestly, exploring reformed Rikken is my guilty pleasure, and I really love the idea of him finally being in a position to help pick Fekkri up from somewhere dark, again. <3
Yessssss, Rikken x Locket. I swear, one day, they're just gonna get their own whole spinoff story, and it's gonna be mundane and beautiful and I can't wait.
