The far more interesting conversation would have been Dalinar's reply to King T when he confesses his responsibility for the assassin in white. I can imagine that the Szeth/Dalinar conversation was as dull as dirt: ["Dalinar Kholin, I have sworn my third ideal of the Skybreakers to follow you." Dalinar grunted. "Taravangian says he made you kill the world leaders with a magic rock." "My oathstone held no magic, but he speaks truth. I am no longer bound to it. I serve you now." Dalinar nodded. The assassin, Szeth, had killed his brother, but they had larger problems to deal with now. Much larger. Best to move on. Vengeance had proven fruitless long ago.] And boom, they're past it. I find it hard to believe Dalinar can shrug off all that Szeth has done to him in 30 seconds. He would need at least 2min.

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine he/him Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 So many Ooklas. I did, but I was replying to your comment. Really, Gruntinar, err I mean Dalinar is a man of few words. The reconciliation I am sure was blessedly short. Szeth says you are my definition of Law, Dalinar grunts in an affirmative manner, then they have a deep understanding. That's how Dalinar likes it.

He would need at least 2min. That's what I'm saying though, it's already been resolved by King T's confession. There's so much that has to go into these books, I just don't see the need to waste space with something that, in the grand scheme of things, is pretty inconsequential. I mean, when a dude shows up with a Blade among Blades and takes out a giant stone monster for you, you don't look gift assassins in white in the mouth.
WhiteLeeopard she/her Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 In the middle of the fight no, but later on when they have time to cool off probably yes. At the very least to share all the different information they have (Shin, Honorblades, Skybreakers, etc).

We already have all that information, we can assume he's going to pass it on, I don't want to waste time on an info dump we've already gotten over the course of three books. How about another satire resolution instead? ["Hey tight-butt, this is my friend the assassin in white. He's a good guy and stuff now. He's got a sword that tried to eat me, but it was hungry so I forgave it. Anyway, you be nice to him or I'm going to steal all your lunches from now until forever. Got it?"] Edited December 6, 2017 by Ookla the Obtuse 2
