NEVER OVER THIS IN ANY ITERATION.

Mikleo’s off and running to help Sorey before Lailah’s even finished with the pact. Tell him your true name, the one that holds the key to your power and puts your life in his hands, at his will.

But Sorey already knows it. He has known it, very likely for years. Mikleo entrusted Sorey with his life long, long ago.

This is my new son. I found him by the riverbank. He will go with me in all my current and future adventures.

The poor little guy sneezed, which attracted this worm. I couldn’t be mad though, it was so cute.

A tauren lady at a nearby camp told me this formula stuff will keep him nice and full until I get back to a major hub. But I don’t trust some strange cow to tell ME how to raise MY son.

He’s giggling from all the bouncing. 

So, I uh… I found Vealtek’s mother. Or so she says she is… 

So, she was pretty much on point with everything. Vealtek even squealed with joy and all.

But it’s cool. He was getting in the way. He was fat, too… being all heavy on my back.

I hope she’s doing the bouncey thing for him.

I’m not saying it’s wrong to find them boring or anything, I just… obviously I find them fascinating, and I’m trying to articulate why exactly. Because I get it. From start to finish, they’re childhood friends, partners, boyfriends, really– and that doesn’t really change over the course of the game (I’d argue there are subtle differences, but you see what I’m saying.) And there’s not really any interpersonal conflict between them (again, except for the breakup) So from that perspective, yeah, their relationship is kind of boring.

But I think what really makes the ship interesting to me is that there are so many things through the story tearing them apart, and yet they themselves remain a unit. Not even “each other’s most important person” like Colette and Lloyd (though they are that) but… they really feel like a single person (which others have already commented on, and which is also alluded to in titles like “Fish and Water”. It’s not as simple as “childhood friends understand each other innately and that’s that”. It’s their shared desire to share everything together that lets them understand each other. It takes a lot to separate them, and NOTHING keeps them apart– not races, not centuries, not Sorey possibly losing his memories of Mikleo. It’s not always easy, but they kinda make it LOOK easy.
