I'm still not over the psychic damage I took from the name Maxillium

Cosmere Kids on an Easter Egg Hunt

It's Easter! Kids from across the Cosmere are participating in an Easter Egg Hunt--let's check in on how they're doing!

1. Tien: Does great (by his own standards)

Tien is fantastic at distinguishing colors, so picking out the eggs hidden in the landscape is a piece of cake for him. However...his basket has way more cool rocks in it than it does eggs at the end. Tien calls this a wondrous success.

2. Lift: Does great (by her own standards)

Lift could find the eggs, sure, no problem. But it's far more of a challenge to steal at least one piece of food from every adult in attendance. By the end, her basket is full! Lift calls this a wondrous success.

3. Kaise: Is brutally efficient

Kaise will win this egg hunt, if it's the last thing she does. She's mowing down other children and snatching eggs with terrible efficiency. D-Does she have a sword?? Who gave that child a sword???

4. Daorn: Is mostly competing with his sister

Daorn doesn't care if he wins or loses--he just wants to beat Kaise. He's also mowing down littler children but if you ask him, he's definitely more mature than his sister. Definitely.

5. Oroden: Is having a great time

Oroden is toddling about with Kaladin, sorta looking for eggs but mostly just, you know, being a toddler. Every now and again Kaladin points out an egg and Oroden is happy to find it. Is Kaladin crying? I mean, maybe just a little.

6. Gavinor: Is very serious

Gavinor is a small, haunted child. He seems to be taking this egg hunt very seriously. Or at least, he isn't smiling much. He finds an egg and stares at it. What does he see within that swirled green and pink paint? Do we want to know?

7. Max & Tindwyl: Are trying to lasso the eggs

It does not work well, but the kids are having a great time and Wax is laughing his head off. Even Steris looks amused.

8. Pattern: Humans sure are funny (What? He's sort of a baby in spren terms!)

Pattern can simply see the underlying pattern of where humans will hide the eggs, based on quadrant, landscape features, egg color distribution, etc. He doesn't quite understand why humans enjoy "hunting" for something whose locations can be mathematically predicted, but he thinks it's pretty neat anyway!

9. Syl: This may be the greatest human invention ever (What? She's sort of a baby in spren terms!)

Syl started out with Kaladin and Oroden, but now she's zipping about, trying to find all of the eggs. She doesn't do anything with them, she just likes to spot them...and occasionally pretend to have spotted them to mess with Kaise & Daorn, who keep following her.

10. Karata's zombie Elantris children: Are eating the eggs

Don't get me wrong--they are having a great time. They find eggs, and they eat them! This may be the greatest game they have every played. Just a horde of zombie children, being watched over fondly by a zombie woman.

Holidays are fun!

little Max picking stuff up from Wayne implies that either

a) the kid is perceptive enough and has been around Wayne enough to have seen him do it and imitate

b) Wayne is teaching him stuff in the moments Wax’a back is turned

c - my personal favourite) Wax and Steris let Wayne babysit. can you imagine the look on her face at the suggestion that they get Wayne to babysit

MeLaan wearing a dog’s body to play fetch with Wax and Steris’s son is 🥺🥺
