This changes when Kaladin, at a suicidal disadvantage, aids Adolin in a battle against four other Shardbearers. After the duel, while the king offers a boon to Adolin, Kaladin unknowingly embarrasses Elhokar by demanding a Right of Challenge to face Amaram in the arena, resulting in his incarceration.{{book ref|sa2|57}} This only further convinces Kaladin that lighteyes can't be trusted. Upon being freed, however, he discovers that Adolin had demanded to be locked up in the same prison, and had refused to be released until Kaladin was pardoned. When questioned why, the prince only says that it wasn't right after Kaladin had saved his life. Adolin then offers Kaladin one of the newly won sets of Shards, though the former bridgeman refuses both, stating that the artifacts had killed too many of his friends for him to want anything to do with them. Confused, the prince instead gives the set to Moash at Kaladin's recommendation.{{book ref|sa2|66}} From there the two become good friends, although their friendship is stressed due to their mutual attraction to Shallan Davar.{{book ref|sa2|76}}{{book ref|sa2|77}}{{book ref|sa3|77}} After a while, Shallan and Adolin confess their love to each other and Kaladin gives up on her for good.{{book ref|sa3|121}}
