earthexile Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago I'm carrying a torch for Kaladin + Tarah. There's an offhand mention of a curvy Alethi woman in Thaylen clothes, hanging out in a bar in Urithiru, when Shallan is teaching herself to do Veil things. She wears bright colors, and Shallan decides that she's "confident, used to playing with the attention of men," and that she seems to have "came here looking for someone." I think that's enough clues to reasonably put us in mind of Kaladin's Perfect Girl That I Blew It With. I have my half-articulated Story Sense reasons that I think it'd be nice. The back half of the story is going to have a lot to do with reckoning with the past, with getting back in touch with the happier, healthier pieces of who you used to be. All the Heralds need that, not just the other nine. And I like the idea that our Herald of Second Chances could somehow have a nice future ahead of him, when he's ready to come home and make things right. An ordinary cool human lady, one shining thing from the darkest time of his young life. One way to have something again that he's given up as lost. 1

Now that you mention I would be happy with that. I still would prefer Syl and Kaladin, that might be second for me
