'''Shallan'''
Shallan is thinking about how she sometimes gets distracted by the enormity of the Palanaeum. Along with a [[Parshmen|Parshman]] servant, she is on her way to get a copy of [[Dialogues]], though she now has an hour each day to do her own research. She has decided on natural science. She thinks about how she could fill gaps in her understanding and has to remind herself that her true goal is to steal Jasnah's Soulcaster. Hiding in one of the library rooms, she goes
When Shallan returns to the alcove, she finds that Jasnah has not yet returned, but to her surprise Kabsal is present. Apparently he wants to show something to Jasnah, but has some bread and [[simberry jam]] to share with Shallan. After a discussion about the meaning of the jam and Shallan's personality, they move on to Shallan's appearance and what she thinks of herself. They also discuss Jasnah's heresy. Shallan considers Kabsal in a romantic light for a short time before dismissing it. Kabsal tries to get Shallan to switch Devotary's even though it is apparently frowned upon to recruit. Kabsal intended to show Jasnah proof of the [[Almighty]], which Shallan is curious to see. He gets out a book where he shows her four patterns of the cities [[Kholinar]], [[Vedenar]], [[Thaylen City]] and [[Akinah]]. Using a metal plate with sand and a bow he recreates the patterns in the sand through the resonance telling her that this is called Cymatics. Telling her of more examples he considers proof he guides the conversation to saving her soul. When Jasnah appears she is not surprised to see Kabsal but not pleased either. She reveals that she knows about Cymatics but doesn't seem impressed by it. After Kabsal is gone, Jasnah warns Shallan that Kabsal is only interested in Shallan to get to Jasnah and her soulcaster.
