My favorite thing about writing about Oskar and Peet from the Wingfeather Saga is that Oskar has absolutely no idea what Peet is talking about 90% of the time. It just sounds like nonsense. An example from my WIP:

“In the words of Barnaby Hoodwink, ‘Where’d you come from?!’” Oskar shouts, heart galloping wildly in his chest. Despite only being around him for an hour a month (if he’s lucky), Peet has somehow managed to give him far more near-heart attacks than any other personage in Oskar’s acquaintance, bar none.

“The street!” Peet exclaims, as if it’s obvious, then proceeds to point straight upwards into the boughs of the tree.

From Oskar's point of view, this is nonsense. Of course it's nonsense! What else could it be?

From Peet's point of view, he's pointing out his street--- his bridges among the trees that allow him to move freely through the forest.

#another favorite of mine is peet happily informing his friend that the problem with his castle has been fixed: 'I've got a flue!'#oskar: YOU'RE SICK???#the wingfeather saga #wingfeather saga #sometimes it's funny #and sometimes it's really really not #*peet runs away crying about bears*#oskar: dang i didn't think i was THAT bad at singing #wip #my writing #oskar noss reteep #peet the sock man #artham wingfeather #the bookseller and the sock man #wingfeather spoilers
