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.

“Your novel approach made me think secrecy must be important, so I told my captain nothing but that you were to be conveyed quickly and quietly.” - Conspiracy of Kings, Megan Whalen Turner

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!!!
Attolia: I’m marrying the Thief of Eddis.
Teleus: My Queen, I believe you mispronounced “murdering.”

QT’s Appreciation Week: Part IV
A quote from an Ancient Greek author that gave a perfect portrayal of Gen’s personality (and in a way, strategy).
P.S.: In all honesty, this series came to my mind the very first time I stumbled upon this quote.
