Two years later, Kaladin and Laral were walking together outside when Kaladin tells her of his father’s plans to send him away. Laral encouraged him to become a soldier instead, implying that he could marry her if he won a [[Shardblade]] in battle, thereby becoming a lighteyes. Kaladin missed the implication, even though he was attracted to her. Later, they encounter a group of older boys, one of whom makes the claim his father won a Shardblade in the [[wastescum skirmishes]].{{book ref|sa1|16}}

 

At Laral’s prompting, Kaladin contradicted him, which led to the boy, [[Jost]], challenging Kaladin to a quarterstaff fight. Although it was his first time holding a weapon, his natural talent for combat manifested. However, seeing that he hurt Jost, he stops himself from fighting anymore. Jost, having no similar inhibition, beats Kaladin to the ground. Kaladin then asked Jost to teach him, but the older boy declined, telling Kaladin to “go be what you are.” Joined by Then, Kaladin made his way home while contemplating what he wants to be. Once home, Lirin informed Kaladin that Citylord [[Wistiow]] had died and bequeathed a goblet full of spheres to Kaladin so he could study in Kharbranth.{{book ref|sa1|16}}
