On page 767 of WoR:
SpoilerQuote"...Flirt with the girl, Kaladin. It might make the prince's eyes bulge."
Kaladin snorted. "She's lighteyed."
"So?" With asked. "You people are too fixated on that."
"No offense," Kaladin whispered, "but I'd sooner flirt with a chasmfiend."
So, you know the saying, "flirting with danger?" Kaladin flirts with danger...in the form of a chasmfiend...RIGHT BEFORE THE SHARDBLADE-CARVED CAVE CUDDLE SCENE WITH SHALLAN.
So now, on page 966 of WoR:
SpoilerQuote"[Kaladin] had claimed the sky, the winds themselves. Giving them up would be like giving up his own hands."
Giving up hands, huh? That sounds familiar...kind of like the metaphor of REMOVING A FESTERING HAND TO SAVE A WHOLE PERSON. (Elhokar's assassination, anyone?)
That metaphor bugs me, too. The festering part isn't Elhokar, it's Elhokar having that power. The power is the hand that needs to be removed, and it's already in the process of happening. There's got to be a way they could have sped it up, right? Besides scudding killing him, I mean.
