poison and wine

brennan, on everyone almost dying at obrimus manor: you guys were like yeah send all the troops to the theatre, we'll go rob the tachonis, and i was sitting there like "i don't think the threat has been assessed as i would have assessed it."

though in this team's defence this was supposed to be a stealth mission and no one was expecting brennan to dangle a bunch of magic that he's wanted his whole life and would make this plan easier but would also alert everyone to his presence in front of the wizard

and of course thjazi believing in all three of them to do exactly that

What if you died trying to make your people free, thinking you had failed and not knowing if they'd ever have a future... and then you were called back many decades later and saw your people happy and healthy and well-clothed and FREE. And you could take up your blade one more time to celebrate with them.

THEY OPENED THE BRIDGE. THEY OPENED THE DOOR BUT THEY'RE LOST IN THE WOODS. AND THAISHA IS HERE. SHE KNOWS HOW TO LEAD A SOUL THROUGH THE WOODS.

the whiplash from the Kattigan tragic backstory drop, to the absolutely nuts playing with the medium making Aabria and Liam playing Tyranny's sisters to kidnap Kattigan, to whatever the hell that ad sketch was. I genuinely can't take this, and we still have KoTher'ai and Obrimus Manor to get through and those promise to be a ride. my heart is going to give out.
