Been rereading The Mysterious Benedict Society and oh my gosh as a kid I totally missed what an awesome dynamic these two have. Reynie being the most patient with her and the way she so clearly admires him and trusts him (she adopts his habit of putting a hand on his chin to think, when she's lost in the library he's the one she sends the call number to, he's the one people trust to comfort her after she gets her memories back, gah) and then she develops the ability to read his mind and he understands the importance of schooling his thoughts to keep her calm and fjwjjxjwhdhehdhehe I'm insane about these two
#also insane about reynie in general#thoughtful compassionate little boy saddled with the burden of leadership and insight and wrestling with the trustworthiness of people#I love an instance of a genius who's not just academically intelligent and clever but also profoundly emotionally intelligent#and of course constance is just#always a hit with me#I love your poems girl. keep it up#the mysterious benedict society#tmbs#tmbs book#reynard muldoon#reynie muldoon#constance contraire#tmbs constance#tmbs reynie#my art#also I apologize for constance's proportions. no idea how to draw a toddler if you can't tell
