It's a crazy storm outside one night during Ylisse and Lissa is hiding in her bedroom, trying to ignore it and sleep. She suddenly heard running down the halls and nervously inspected. Ricken is clutching himself, obviously extremely shaken as Lissa picks his tome off of the floor and consoles him. She offers for him to come to her room and the two have a conversation about their fear of storms. The thunder and lightning continues, so the two get extremely close and the friction between them causes romantic feelings to arise.
