On stone gathering duty, Dunny approached with [[Earless Jaks]] towing a wooden sled bearing a large stone. The pair helped Kaladin put the stone in the wagon. Kaladin thanked them, to which Dunny just shrugged.{{book ref|sa1|23}}
 
When [[Bridge Four]] was assigned to chasm duty, Kaladin, [[Rock]], and [[Teft]] discussed duels back on the Peaks. Seeing that Dunny was moving closer to listen, Kaladin asked him a question, startling the youth. Rock chuckled and asked if he knew the meaning of his name. Dunny didn’t know, which made him feel like an outsider especially knowing Rock’s name meant a whole sentence. Rock told him that on the Peaks, everyone’s name is a poem. Hearing that, Dunny hesitated, but then spoke his own poem.{{book ref|sa1|27}}

Rock laughed riotously and Kaladin commented that it sounded like a song. Dunny admitted that he put it to the tune of “Mari’s Two Lover’s” to get the beat right. Hearing the mention of a song, Rock asked Dunny to sing for them. After a yelp of protest, Dunny obeyed. His voice was pure tenor as he sang, appearing more confident in song than in voice. Rock joined in and sang the harmony. When they finished, Teft applauded and Rock said it was good to meet a lowlander that could sing. Dunny blushed, but he walked more confidently after their compliments, his shyness fading. That evening, Dunny helped Rock prepare the stew and the two sang songs for the rest of Bridge Four.{{book ref|sa1|27}}
