    in Stormlight Archive

    Posted

    Spoilers for length.

    When Syl got a new hat.

    Kaladin waited for the prince to finis, until Syl stepped up and presented herslef in an oversized poncho tied with a belt. On her head she wore a large, floppy hat.

    "What's that?" Kaladin asked.

    "Clothes!"

    "Why do you need clothes? Yours are built in."

    "Those are boring."

    "Can't you change them?"

    "Takes Stormlight, on this side," hse said. "Plus, the dress is part of my essence, so I'm actually walking around naked  all the time."

     

    Syl. I love you.

     

    And Pattern. Just... Pattern.

    "Anyway," Shallan said. "Pattern, you're to be our chaperone tonight."

    "What,"Pattern said with a hum, "is a chaperone?"

    "That is someone who watches two young people when they are together, to make certain they don't do anything inappropriate."

    "Inappropriate?" Pattern said. " Such as... dividing by zero?

    "You know, I've never really felt like this before? It's not just Kaladin, it's all of this. And what's happening to us." He shook his head. "We certainly are an odd bunch."

    "Yes. Seven people. Odd."

     

    And finally, Shallan. She's insane, but you gotta love'er! Oh, Shallan... what are we going to do with you? Anyway.

    Long version.

            Someone knocked on the wooden plate hung outside her rooms. She had just a cloth draping the doorway right now. Many of the tower's doors had warped over the years; hers had been ripped out, and she was still waiting on a replacement.

            The one knocking would be Palona, who had once again noticed that Shallan had skipped dinner. Shallan sucked in a breath, destroying the image of Veil, recovering some of the Stormlight from her Lightweaving. "Come," she said. Honestly, it didn't seem to matter to Palona that Shallan was a storming Knight Radiant now, she'd still mother her all the--

            Adolin stepped in, carrying a large plate of food in one hand, some books under the other arm. He saw her and stumbled, nearly dropping it all. Shallan froze, then yelped and tucked her bare safehand behind her back. Adolin didn't even have the dececny to blush at finding her practicaloy naked. He balanced the food in his hand, recovering from his stumble, and then grinned. 

            "Out!" Shallan said, waving her free hand at him. "Out, out, out!"

            He backed away awkwardly, through the draped cloth over the doorway. Stormfather!

            Shallan's blush was probably so bright they cold have used her as a signal to send the army to war. She pulled on a glove, then wrapped that in a safepouch, then threw on the blue dress she had draped over the back of her chair and did up the sleeve. She didn't have the presence of mind to pull on her bodice vest first, not that she really needed one anyway. She kicked it under a blanket instead. 

            In my defense," Adolin said from outside, "you did invite me in."

            "I thought you were Palona!" Shallan said, doing up the buttons on the side of her dress--which proved difficult, with three layers covering her safehand.

            "You know, you could check to see who is at your door."

            "Don't make this my fault," Shallan said. "You're the one slipping into young ladis' bedrooms practically unannounced."

            "I knocked!"

            "The knock was feminine."

            "It was... Shallan!"

            "Did you knock with one hand or two?"

            "I'm carrying a storming platter of food--for you, by the way. Of course the knock was one-handed. And seriously, who knocks with two""

            "It was quite feminine, then. I'd have thought that imitating a woman to catch a glimpse of a young lady in her undergarments was beneath you, Adolin Kholin."

     

    Short version. (Just the punchline.)

    Note, i will have OB spoilers in this, but I'm just going to stick them in a spoiler tag, because the theory isn't founded on any OB spoilers.

    I would still put an Oathbringer spoiler tag in the front of your title, just in case. Don't want to get in trouble with @Chaos, am I right?

    Aside from that, I think this is an awesome idea. It makes sense to me (not that I really know that much). The real question now is this:

    According to Realmatic Theory, what is poop?

    When you win 1st place in the 140 something questions long Cosmere Marathon quiz at the signing. ‘Nough said. 

    Spoiler

    Disclaimer: Not ‘nough said. You know for sure you’re a Sanderfan when this makes you incredibly filled with joy and pride. Then you realize you got a couple stupid ones wrong and decide to do the 140 something question long quiz again to fix those. 

    Spoiler

    Then you feel so stupid that you kept calling Wayne a Pulser instead of a Slider. Why, you stupid finger, why?

    Spoiler

    For those of you who were there, my username for the quiz was AonEda or Aon Eda.

    The cover is slightly dirty. The corners slightly bent. The spine looks like the book was opened by someone who doesn't care about the apperence of books. It's what I get for ordering online. I could return it, and get another copy, but I can't wait that long... But I also want to get a really nice book.

    Suggestions?

    If it really bugs you, I would send it in. As I see it, your options include the following:

    1) Returning it and reading the ebook.      

    2) Reading it, then returning afterward. 

    3) Order a new copy, reading from the old one. When the new one arrives, send back the old. 

     

    Hope it works out!

    Oh, I so wish I could do it.

    But I'm 12 hours away. *sigh*

    Foolish mortal. You think a mere 12 hours can stop me? I had to *hem* *hem* *hem*. Sorry ‘bout that. I flew out here! The whole time Brandon has been like, “If you are sane, you’ll probably just leave with a signed, non personalized copy. That is the smart thing to do.”

    You know you’re a Sanderfan when you spend that whole time thinking, “Well, good thing I’m not sane!”
