Basch: Think you can fight? Reks: I'm fine Sir Basch: How old are you, Reks? Reks: Seventeen, Sir Basch: Young. Family? Reks: My brother is all I have left, Sir. He's two years younger than I, living in Rabanastre. Basch: So young... You're barely old enough to be a man, you shouldn't be forced to wield a sword. Reks: No Sir, I want to fight. For my homeland, and for my parents!
this exchange between Basch and Reks really made my ears prick when I started my randomised job run
Basch fled Landis at 17, far too young to be able to fight for his homeland, for his twin and their mother. with his brother left at home, it's not hard to see where he's feeling the similarities between himself and Reks here - you can see the pain writ clearly in his face, how he's still feeling like he dishonoured himself by abandoning family and country ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ despite the fact that he left with the intention of training to be able to help his country, he's still trapped by the cage of that regret and dishonour, even 19 years later
