I LOVE WHAT YOURE COOKING MY EYES ARE WIDE OPEN

Do you have… more thoughts or info to share about your interpretation of them…

about their props...

saluting captain's firework staff can be used to flash SOS but is also extremely flashy, so they don't use it until they were left with no choice, stranded in the fields and their men are starving, some having died already due to injury

crab whisperer's broken pipe used to be longer and was turned into a makeshift stun gun with some more junk and a disposed uncharged darkstone (the one you see in two embers part 1), and just charges it with their own stored light

it was thanks to salute's fireworks that crab found them all the way in crab fields

about their relationship

they've known each other vaguely since they worked in the same area before the realm fell into ruin

crab whisperer goes by that title as a lightseeker who focuses their research in marine biology (with a passion for crustaceans). however, they're more commonly known as an eccentric antique merchant, operating their own antique/thrift shop. salute would've been one of the few customers they greet.

i'm not entirely sure about saluting captain yet, since i thought they'd have been an athlete in the past, or a dockworker, or a social worker, but they'd have frequented crab's shop to buy supplies for their work, and rarely chat for any new stories they believe crab just made up. (they're not made up, lightseekers get into all sorts of outlandish trouble in their line of work)

when crab rescued salute in crab fields, they spent a good chunk of time catching up since they hadn't seen each other for a long time. their time together in crab fields was where salute really got to know crab as a person and eventually find them endearing enough that they think they're falling in love
