Kaladin Painting

Few days ago Przemek was vigorously explaining something about Minecraft. It took him a lot of a time and I couldn’t make anything out of it, so I asked him, with tired voice, if he could stop. After all, I said, I don’t bother him with all of my stories.

“Oh really,” my wife interrupted. “Then how does he know who Kaladin is?”

I was speechless. Maybe these “small” references to Cosmere books which I’ve been making twice a day for last 2 years aren’t that small after all?

Anyway, today when I was out, Przemek decided to surprise me. He took his paints and drew me Kaladin¹. The level of details about Kal that he remembered astonished me. Our favourite windrunner has non-white skin, black curly hair, Shash brand on his forehead (how cool is that he remembered about it?), blue uniform and a lot of SANDERSONs written all over the painting. There are also dino stickers, which we should really get rid of at this point, they’re 3 years old, and few locomotive stamps, because why not? I’m not sure what are these brown shapes behind Kaladin though. Probably some cremlings.

I am so happy and proud of him. :) Not because he knows who Kaladin is², but because he selflessly made me a very personal gift with something that only I care deeply about.

Next step: teaching him about Sylphrena.
