When Kaladin got back to Urithiru after having been removed from duty by Dalinar, Syl went to get Adolin. Adolin found Kaladin sitting in his room, depressed and miserable. Kal wanted to be alone, but Adolin was having none of it and insisted that Kal joined him for a drink at [[Jez's Duty]]. It is Adolin's regular winehouse where a booth is permanently reserved for him. When they entered, the crowd cheered in greeting for the Highprincehighprince. After talking with several groups, Adolin joined Kaladin and Veil at his booth. Adolin and Veil talked about a wedding party going on, and joke how Kaladin didn't notice such things. They then started to discuss who to setup Kaladin with, who doesn't want that at all. The discussion slowly moved into Adolins earlier courtship with [[Dakhnah]] and Veil seemed jealous of her curves. Kaladin then remarked how Veil and Adolin have the strangest relationship. Veil left to get another drink.{{book ref|sa4|12}}
Adolin and Kaladin shortly discuss the mission in the warcamps and then sit in silence.

After a while, Adolin started prodding Kaladin about how he is feeling. Kaladin told him about how he had been removed of active duty and how it is right. Adolin was silent for a while, then says his father could be wrong. Adolin admitted he wanted to help Kaladin, but had no idea how. He hoped that if he found a way to help Kaladin, he might also be able to help Shallan. He continued, that he feared Shallan was hurting and her state digressing slowly. Pattern suggested talking to the ardents, and Kal suggested perhaps Wit can help. Adolin pressed Kal for any suggestions on how to help Shallan from his surgeon training. This helped Kaladin realize it was exactly what Adolin was doing for him. Kal then suggested they needed to get Adolin a spren, and that it would help if he dropped his Shardblade. Adolin rejects 'getting rid' of Maya. When [[Jor]] came over to introduce his bride [[Kryst]], Adolin pulled out a gift for the pair. Later in the evening, when Rock appeared Adolin left so Kal and him could speak alone.{{book ref|sa4|12}}}}
