Cosmere Parents with a "World's Best Mom/Dad" Mug
As requested by @karlathewitch :)
Cosmere parents are acquiring a "World's Best Mom/Dad/Parent" mug! In...various ways. Let's see how it goes!
1. Straff: Bought one for himself solely to piss off Elend
Straff: [calmly drinking from a "World's Best Dad" mug] Elend: [choking on his breakfast] Elend: WHAT - what - is that? Straff: You got me a gift. Straff: Or rather, I bought myself a gift with your money since you've never done even a simple thing correct in your lifetime. Straff: I think it suits me. Elend: [too aghast to speak]
2. Evi: Treasures the homemade mug that Adolin & Renarin made her
Adolin: Mom! Mom! Look at what we made you! Renarin [almost inaudible]: Aunt Navani helped with the writing. Evi: Oh wow! It's beautiful--I love it! Evi: If I'm the best mom, it's only because I love you both so much!
3. Dalinar: Has a...complex history with the homemade mug that Adolin & Renarin made him
Dalinar [Oathbringer-era, staring at the chipped mug] Adolin [arms crossed]: We made matching ones for you and mom when we were kids. Dalinar: Yes, I remember... Renarin: I think...I think I brought you wine in it once? Secretly? Dalinar: Yes. Dalinar: Possibly not the best look.
4. Dedelin: Let's just say his mug is...reclaimed
Dedelin: I-I don't think you can take back a "World's Best Dad" mug! Ridger: ...You sold our sister Siri into sex slavery. Fafen: ...And now Vivenna has run away too. Ridger: We're taking the mug.
5. Evanteo: His "World's Best Dad" mug has an asterisk
Evanteo: Sarene! A "World's Best Dad" mug? Thank you! Evanteo: Hold on--"Best" is asterisked and there appears to be a tiny, long, hand-painted note along the bottom... Evanteo: "Best in this context is a subjective and inherently hyperbolic description intended to express the inherent love and admiration of a child for her father and is not intended as an unbiased or binding judgment on the persons herein." Evanteo: ... Evanteo: I love it. It's so you. Sarene: I thought you'd appreciate it.
6. Steris & Wax: Their "World's Best Parents" mug...does not have an asterisk
Steris: Listen, I really think we should add an asterisk! Steris: It is a very sweet sentiment and I will treasure this mug forever, but it's a little bit...inprecise. Wax: Look into the eyes of our children and tell me that the mug needs an asterisk. Steris: ... Max [sincerely]: You ARE the best parents! I swear! Tindwyl: We wuv you! Steris: ... Steris: I...suppose I can let it slide.
7. Lirin & Hesina: Receive a mug from Oroden. Kaladin helped.
Kaladin: You're doing a good job with the painting, Oroden! Oroden: Tanks! Kaladin: Here I am, helping my younger brother make a "World's Best Parents" mug for my parents. Kaladin: And people say I need therapy! Oroden: Terapy! Kaladin: ...Don't you start.
8. Lem & Ulba: Are given a "World's Best Parents" mug by Tress
Lem: A-Are you sure? Ulba: Isn't this too valuable? Tress: I-It's just an old cup that I hand-painted! Lem: Exactly! Ulba: A cup from your collection! Tress: W-Well, you both are the best parents, so... Lem: Well, we love it. Ulba: Of course we do--what parent wouldn't love something so precious that their child made?
9. Gavilar: Has a very nice mug. Embossed. Golden. Classy.
Navani: ...That isn't the "World's Best Dad" mug that Elkohar and Jasnah made for you. Gavilar: The one they made was ugly. Navani: ...They are children. Gavilar: What, and that means *I* have to settle? Gavilar: Be serious, Navani.
10. Kelsier: Is himself surprised by how emotional he feels
Kelsier: "W-World's Best Dad"...? Vin: It's just-- Vin: I wanted to say "thanks" I guess. Kelsier: ... Kelsier: I will drink ALL my metals from this mug! Vin: That doesn't seem practical in battle. Kelsier: ... Kelsier: I just mean that I really like it. Vin: ...I'm glad.
11. The Stormfather: Is mostly confused
Stormfather: [rumbling] What am I supposed to do with a tiny mug? Syl: I don't know--you could fill it with rainwater? Stormfather: ...to what purpose? Syl: It's a gift! You're supposed to just say thanks! Stormfather: ... Stormfather: "World's Best Father and Storm" is a nice sentiment... Syl: Of course it is! All my sentiments are nice.
12. Taravangian: Does not see the irony, truly
Taravangian: Can someone PLEASE murder those noisy children outside??? Adrotagia: ...You are literally drinking from a "World's Best Grandfather" mug right now. Taravangian: What? They're not my grandchildren. Adrotagia [muttering]: I hate days when you're like this.
