[Rhythm of War] The Boot, the Rat, and the Spren by Pam Hage
(sffa.community)
Relevent book quote (lifted from deviantart):
“I don’t think he ever gets excited. Not even when I tell him I have a fun surprise for him.”
“Your surprises,” Kaladin said, “are never fun.”
“I put a rat in his boot,” Syl whispered. “It took me forever. I can’t lift something so heavy, so I had to lead it with food.”
“Why in the Stormfather’s name,” Lirin said, “would you put a rat in his boot?”
“Because it fit so well!” Syl said. “How can you not see how great the idea was?”
- Rhythm of War, chapter 18
