Kuno opened the door for [[Kaladin]] and [[Teft]] when they arrived looking for [[Noril]]. He refused to reveal patient information to them until Teft summoned [[Phendorana]] to prove that they were of sufficient authority. He brought them to Noril's room after explaining that the man had tried to commit suicide;. onOn the way, he defended the ardentia while Teft expressed disbelief that keeping the patients locked up in the dark would help and; a disgruntled Kaladin plied himKuno with questions regarding treatment. After warning them of Noril's instability, Kuno allowed the two into the room to speak with him.{{book ref|sa4|25}}

When Kaladin helped Noril to his feet to take him outside so they could talk, Kuno protested that he couldn't do that. He quailed under Kaladin's glare, however, and settled for following the little group to the balcony. Kuno was astonished to see that Noril was talking with Kaladin and Teft, and he was embarrassed to realize that they had been right all along. Kaladin grilled him on what they were taught to do for people with various mental ailments, and Noril confessed that the treatment was all the same: lock them up in the dark to avoid overstimulation. He realized that they needed to do something different for the patients'sake sakesof the patients, but expressed to Kaladin that it would take a lot of time and resources to change things in the ardentia. Kaladin asked that Noril be released into his care instead and warned Kuno that he would be back for the others.{{book ref|sa4|25}}

After the [[Fused]] took over [[Urithiru]] and Kaladin fled from them with thean unconscious Teft, Kaladin realized that the [[Devotary of Mercy]] would be a good place to go for supplies. Kuno was reading when Kaladin arrived; andafter askedrecognizing forKaladin supplies. Hehe took Kaladinhim to a storeroom and let him collect what he needed, but had to tell him thatalthough they didn'tdid not have any broth or weapons in the sanitarium. Although he respected Kaladin, Kuno was profusely sweating at the prospect of the Fused learning that that he was aiding one of their enemies. When Kaladin alluded to his return for more supplies at a later date, Kuno nervously agreed that he could keep quiet. Kaladin realized hethat the young ardent could use a boost of confidence, so he let Kuno see him drink in some [[Stormlight]] before leaving.{{book ref|sa4|49}}
