While at the training grounds Adolin and Kaladin come to a silent understanding that they both need to train harder if they were going to best the Assassin in White when he inevitably returns. When Shallan arrives Adolin assumes she is there to watch him. After taunting Kaladin a little Adolin reveals, when asked, that he doesn’t mind being betrothed, hoping that the formality of the arrangement will keep it from falling apart. When Shallan ignores Adolin it’s Kaladin’s turn to mock Adolin. When Adolin asks Shallan if she needs him to pose so she can sketch his plate and blade for her records she declines, saying his mother’s sketches were more than adequate. {{book ref|wor|44}} Later Adolin, leading the Kholin army, wins a plateau run alongside [[Bethab]]’s army. {{book ref|wor|46}}
====Courting Shallan Davar====
For their first date Adolin takes Shallan to one of the trendy winehouses that allow viewings of oncoming highstorms. Shallan asks him about plateau runs and feels as though she’s filling an expected role in the conversation with Adolin until she asks him how he poops if he’s in shardplate. Though embarrassed Adolin reveals that he has defecated in his shardblade three times, all on purpose. From that point on their interaction becomes more genuine.
They move on to discussing Chasmfiends and gemhearts and sustainablility. Adolin feigns ignorance for a while, saying he isn’t good at anything that doesn’t involve stabbing, but eventually says he’s dense as he’s pretending. Shallan suggests raising and harvesting Chasmfiends that way as a solution to the dwindling population. Adolin, surprising Shallan, asks her what she needs to make it happen. She asks to be taken out onto the Shattered Plains to see an uncut chrysalis for herself. Adolin is hesitant about this but Shallan tells him she knows he’ll protect her. Adolin reveals to Shallan his father’s visions and Sadea’s betrayal. In turn Shallan reveals Jasnah’s suspicions of the [[Parshmen]] being related to the return of the [[Voidbringers]]. Adolin tells Shallan he’ll talk to his aunt and try to smooth things over for her so Shallan can talk to Navani about Jasnah’s research. Afterwards they watch the approaching highstorm and are the last remaining spectators until Adolin has to drag Shallan indoors before the storm hits. Before they go to the gender segregated sitting rooms Adolin promises to try and get her out onto the Plains. {{book ref|wor|49}}
