  1. "Plotblades? I fear I am ignorant as to the nature of this development."
  2. "So, ah... is there anything important I need to know about this land? Lore and such? I feel I've been here before, but if I was, that was untold eons ago."
  3. "Ah, yes, of course." Pancakes presses forward towards the rock.
  4. "Ah, yes, perhaps," Pancakes says. He does not move.
  5. "Hey!!" Pancakes yelled, several times louder. "Rock!"
  6. Exciting? 2272
  7. It's 3 AM. I know you're Steve, but if you don't leave my house right now, I'm calling the police. What? No. Ew.
  8. "Mine?" Pancakes seemed delighted by this. "Alrighty then," he said, leading the way towards the rock at a brisk pace.
  9. "Good day, sir," said Pancakes. "Sounds indubitable," said Pancakes, who didn't know what "indubitable" meant.

  12. It also works thematically because Szeth's arc is about that he doesn't need to follow the rules. In skipping an oath, he acknowledges that to complete his quest wasn't something he needed to do to grow as a person; it was just something he'd been told he needed to do. Now that I think about it, this works really well with Dalinar's climax -- i.e. realizing that keeping your oaths is sometimes not the best way forward.
  13. "I see. As for the elephant thing, I was speaking at an elephant farmers' symposium before I got, uh... shifted. Shame - I had a good run in that story." "Oh, and what's this about an Author?" he hastily added.
  14. What does a boiled peanut taste like?
