==== Courting Shallan Davar ====

 

They move on to discussing chasmfiends, gemhearts and sustainability. Adolin feigns ignorance for a while, saying he isn't good at anything that doesn't involve stabbing, but eventually says he's not as dense as he's pretending. Shallan suggests raising and harvesting chasmfiends as a solution to their 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 Sadeas'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|sa2|49}}
