i have so many questions about gansey’s mint habits. does he harvest them in the morning and stuff them in his pocket? wont they go bad? does he eat mint leaves bc it can counter (some) allergic reactions? is it bc mint leaves are traditionally used to relieve bee and wasp stings? do they go dry in his pocket? is his pocket clean? does he eat them bc the ancient greeks and romans used it to relieve pain? is it bc it helps w insomnia and depression? when did this habit start? or was this just a creative character quirk by maggie? why tf does richard gansey iii eat mint leaves?
