can we all take a moment to appreciate the part in briar’s book when lark says she’s going to find a healer ‘with more juice in him than Dedicate Grapewell’ and the narration notes that she didn’t smile at her own pun and this is a *significant* sign of how terrible everything is
like just imagine lark and rosethorn whenever their lives aren’t actively falling apart. making ridiculous puns constantly and laughing at their own and each others’ because they’re great mages and the foremost in their disciplines and also they’re enormous dorks
