Summary
!RHYTHM OF WAR SPOILERS!
Set somewhere in the middle of RoW. After a lost battle, Jasnah seeks some time alone to reflect. Wit joins her and they're GOOD FOR EACH OTHER. They have positive discussions around Jasnah's mental health and the pressure everyone puts on her and she takes a moment with him to relax a little and let him support her and that pleases me.
'“How are you?” he asked, finally, rather more blunt than she’d expected.
“I’m fine,” she replied calmly, carefully sculpting her expression and body language to appear as composed as she wished the world to believe she was.
“Mm,” Wit said, placing his hands behind him and lounging, even while she maintained a carefully straight back, legs crossed in front of her.
She turned to look at him at last and raised an eyebrow.
“Very nicely done,” he observed blithely, “No hesitation. But you didn’t answer too quickly, either. People always make that mistake. Nice tone, good facial expression. I’m very impressed.”
“With what, Wit?” she sighed, exasperated for once by his witterings.
“The near flawless delivery of that blatant lie, my dear,” he replied smoothly.'
