shallan davar – i'll apple your turnover

tanoraqui:

I just think it’s Great that pretty much every character in the Cosmere, when interacting with Hoid, has a tingle in the back of their brain that something is Wrong here. Sometimes explicit, sometimes only shown in that he’s mentioned in the text at all, and therefore noticed more than he should be, but always there. A tiny tingle reminiscent of a prey animal’s fight-or-flight instinct, but it’s not quite that, it’s just…something is Strange. Something is Out of Place, and their tiny lizard brains know it, whether they’re talking with the King’s particularly annoying Wit or some random beggar in some random town.

Every character, that is, except Shallan Davar, who sees him and is like, “OH THANK HERALDS, AN ADULT WHO BOTH UNDERSTANDS AND SUPPORTS ME,” to which Hoid is like, “…I’m sorry, what.”
