queensthiefHere’s an interesting line from Thick as Thieves…
Be sure you use the smaller brass straight edge–the one that hangs next to the armillary sphere–and press the seams in the paper when you refold it so they are crisp and Relius will not know right away what you have done. - Thick as Thieves, p333 (2017 Hardcover Edition)
HOLD THE PHONE! Wait one second there!
Nahuseresh examined the folding carefully in order to open the papers without tearing them. Each of the folds was crisp and complete. It had not been opened and refolded. He glanced at his secretary, who smiled. - The Queen of Attolia, p70 (2017 Paperback Edition)
Why are you smiling, Kamet? You opened and read that message then pressed the edges back down, didn’t you? DIDN’T YOU? How much do you know that Nahuseresh doesn’t even know that you know? You are a little monster and I love you for it!

Oh, and I second the Kamet icons. Like I need a Kamet icon ASAP! Please?

Date: 6/12/17 02:59 am (UTC)Thanks to amuseoffyre (http://amuseoffyre.tumblr.com/post/161207457975/queens-thief-characters-kamet-e-dai-annux-the) for the practically perfect fancast that made these icons possible. (Unfortunately, that particular image doesn't crop well, so I couldn't make a decent icon out of it. MWT's reaction (http://meganwhalenturner.tumblr.com/post/161682864551/amuseoffyre-queens-thief-characters-kamet-e) to the image made me want to anyway, though.) If anyone wants to request a certain image or something with text, feel free! I couldn't think of any fitting quotes to pair with a scroll or the like, and I wasn't sure how Kamet-y a scroll would be on its own as an icon, so I went with just these.
I'm tempted to say that I whipped these up quickly, but that would be like Kamet's inscription on the map for Pigeon. These took longer than I'd like to admit, but mostly because it is SO HARD to find a proper cryptic smile for Kamet. The smiles are either too large and happy or too "this is my seventeen-hundredth photo for the day and I don't actually want to be here." I'm still dubious that I found the right sort of smile, but finding the facepalming Kamet was totally worth it. Original images available upon request. You can download all five icons here.

Kamet is the perfect character for unimpressed and face palming icons. XD
This actor is uncannily close to how I picture Kamet. I think of him as more youthful looking, but he definitely works for older
Kamet.
