Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 6: Return of the Thief – the books/characters as things my friends and I have said
In honor of Pheris’s hilarious horror at grown-up things.

Aaaaand, bam! My contribution to Queen’s Thief Appreciation Week! It’s pen, watercolor, and colored pencil and was ultra fun to work on.
Last year I did an ominous piece of Gen falling, so this year I pivoted and did happily ever after.
It’s got all your basic moving parts: Gen and Irene heading up to the crenellations,
Phresine loving on baby Hector while baby Eugenia drops a stolen earring that matches her dad’s (with her mountain goat plushie nearby),
Helen and Sophos just being stupid cute with their wee heir, while the Magus still studies his map and Pol’s sword leans on the wall beneath the three countries’ banners,
Your pantheon of deities, with the Great Goddess at the center,
Teleus and Relius enjoying each other’s company while Pheris (now with mobility aid!) ignores them (also there’s a pigeon),
Costis and bespectacled Kamet with a plate of nut cakes, and a familiar author in the background with her stack of six books,
And, finally, our long-awaited elephant, while two of Gen’s attendants search for their king.
Happy Queen’s Thief Appreciation Week!!!
Relius, hiding under a wagon to look at Irene: You’re not going to torture me, are you?
Irene: Torture you? What for?
Relius: To find out what I know. I’d torture someone in a second, if it was up to me.
Irene: When that happened, I was, like, 11, which means Relius was well into his 40s
Relius: Genuinely how old do you think I am?
Irene: I’m just messing with you, I know you’re 47
Relius:
Irene: Older?
Relius:
Irene: Younger? Am I hot or cold here?

Eugenides: Look, Relius has been working for his entire life, which is somewhere between 30 and 50 years
Relius: I hate it here
Teleus: If it makes you feel better, I think you’re closer to 30
Relius: It doesn’t

update: turns out this was made for children, which is probably why it was allowed to be so uncharacteristically magnificent
It was made for Gen but don’t tell Relius
