[[Shallan]] is sitting in her room restlessly drawing the deaths of the four robbers from three nights ago, even though she didn't deliberately take the memories. Doing that she goes over the different concepts of logic and philosophy and considering [[Jasnah]]'s actions and reasons in the light of the different schools. She also worries about her own actions in stealing the [[Soulcaster]] in the same way. Her thoughts running over her theft, the killings she is surprised when another scene pops into her mind. Intending to leave her rooms she runs into a servant who informs her that one of her [[spanreed]]s is flashing and hands it over to her. Going into the main room she is glad to find her brother [[NanBalat Davar|Balat]] talking to her. She tells him that she has managed to steal the Soulcaster, but hasn't left yet so as not to draw suspicion on to herself. She explains why she hasn't left and why she has to wait. Shortly before the end of the conversation Nan Balat informs her that the “friends” of their fathers visited again. Shallan frets even more about the theft and when a chambermaid comes to their quarters, she starts worrying about the Soulcasters safety and decides to put it into her save-pouch and leaves the room with a basket full of bread and [[Bluebar|Bluebar jam]].
 
Two hours later sitting in the palace gardens, Shallan has calmed down and is drawing some snails and plants. She notes the symbiotic relationship between a snails she is drawing and the [[shalebark]] it is on, writing it down next to her drawing. After making sure she is alone she get the Soulcaster out in order to figure out how to use it as [[Luesh]] can no longer show them how. However she has no luck and tries to think of other ways to get it to work or save her family.
