Turns out Brandon was recommended to him by a friend and he had read Skyward and was looking for Starsight.

For a split second I read that as Cosmere Service Center and almost had a stroke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SymphonianBookworm she/her Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 When you stub your toe, you say a mixture of: ”By preservation’s own wings! You storming cremling. Colors! Rust and Ruin!” And then everyone turns to look at you strangely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edema Rue she/her Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 He turned around. I gave the most awkward smile you can imagine. Actually, probably worse.

No questions, just a statement, it puts you in charge of the conversation, and makes you seem more confident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The side of me that wants a good story is like “DO IT AGAIN” The side of me that wants a happy story is saying “just go talk to him” Do what you want tho, this story has made me happy for the Sanderson expressions used 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edema Rue she/her Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 It’s too late now. I have a new strategy though!
