a thing that always makes me sad re: vaan is that throughout their journey, i feel like every new place our sheltered desert orphans discover, vaan thinks to himself “reks would love it here” or “i wish reks could see this too”

this ofc goes for penelo, too, who lost her brothers as well. idk i just need our orphan babs just having a moment together mid or late game where they kinda go off on their own for a few hours to be together, because the grief still comes in waves, and they are both the only people who would understand – vaan and penelo both knew and loved the ones the other lost. 

penelo gets really shafted in the game in terms of character spotlight, but i know she is hurting just as badly as vaan is. she lost all her brothers too. so i’m sure there are moments where it just consumes her and the only person that she feels would understand is vaan. dalmascan orphan solidarity thanks
