β | Kal (his nickname as a boy) helps his father, [[Lirin]] |
+ | Kal (his nickname as a boy) helps his father, [[Lirin]] treat a young woman, [[Sani]]. He reflects over the course of the surgery on how his family is treated so differently because of his father's career. |
When they finish amputating Sani's middle finger, Lirin asks Kaladin why he was late to arrive, and Kaladin replies that he was with a boy named [[Jam (Hearthstone)|Jam]] learning to use a quarterstaff. This sparks a debate between Kaladin and Lirin about the relative merits of being a soldier or a surgeon. Lirin meets Kaladin's claim that it's possible to save lives by killing others with the assertion that doing so is like "trying to stop a storm by blowing harder." Eventually, Kaladin simply stops arguing and goes back to cleaning up the room. |
