The fun thing about Whimsie and Mystique is that what you learn about them in Book Four really recontextualizes how they act in Book Three.
At a first read, it's easy to assume that they're just the standard Twins Who Are Basically One Person trope.
But with Book Four knowledge, it reads like the two of them are not actually on the same page about everything, but they're deep enough into the act that their reputation is entwined, and the result is that they're constantly course-correcting each other through banter when one of them fucks up.
#Heralds of Rhimn#one of them makes a phaux pas#the other internally goes “YOU FUCKER” and apologizes / makes a funnie joke out of it#on and on and on#and something that becomes even more clear w/ Moonteeth knowledge is that Whimsie is the one doing most of the steering#and Mystique is the one going “sure. i fucking guess we're doing this now.” and not contradicting her
