Ryybyn gets them doki dokis. Guess what happens when you feel very loved and your magic is fuelled by feels!

At this point of the campaign I was still pushing Ryybyn/Ezekiel because I felt Lutz’s strong ties to the Empire wouldn’t make him compatible with Ryybyn in a practical sense. He’s got a full time government job that he sacrificed so much for but Ryybyn would rather have nothing to do in the Empire and they wouldn’t be very happy living there. I still have those doubts but dang… Lutz just keeps saying stuff that’s laser-guided to Ryybyn’s heart!
