'''Shallan'''
 
After spending a week locked up, Shallan and Kaladin are now on deck trying to figure out where they're headed. Kaladin is insistent that they get to Thaylen City somehow. Shallan briefly turns into Veil and suggests instigating a mutiny. Kaladin asks her to find a bead that would let them jump overboard and get to shore like before. She asks the captain if she can get some beads to practice with, and he agrees as long as she doesn't manifest anything. He expresses regret that the Radiants have returned.
 
Shallan spends the days on the ship studying various beads. Veil occasionally takes over, almost randomly. She sees the first mate returning Azure's shardblade. Azure intends to trade information once they reach their destination; the honorspren may have information on her bounty: a sword that bleeds black smoke and the man who brought it here. Kaladin calls her a traitor, but she points out that she has no obligation toward them, and besides, her quest is also very important. Shallan retreats back to her bucket. Adolin comes over and hugs her as she talks about her struggles. He confesses to her that he killed Sadeas.
 
'''Kaladin'''
 
Kaladin has walked up to the forbidden deck and is looking through a spyglass. The captain comes and asks him to not upset his crew. Kaladin again demands the release of Syl. The captain explains that she is too young to have a bond and he could just kill him to break it. Kaladin asks him if that is honorable, and the captain doesn't answer, ashamed. But he still won't release Syl. Kaladin moves off and contemplates the ideals that he has sworn, wondering how difficult the fourth one will be. Lights begin to appear around him, causing quite a stir amongst the crew, who gasp and scurry away. Syl speaks in his mind -- he is close to finding the fourth ideal. The captain comes over, amazed at the windspren around Kaladin. They're almost always in the Physical Realm and he has never seen them before. Kaladin once again appeals to him; he is a Windrunner sworn to protect, and the Bondsmith who leads them is in danger. The captain is astonished that there is a bondsmith at all and replies that he will consider helping them.
 
'''Adolin'''
 
Adolin sees Kaladin surrounded by glowing lines of light, the crew looking on in amazement. Shallan (apparently as Veil) also looks on in admiration. Adolin knows that Shallan is attracted to Kaladin and wonders how he can compete with such a glorious figure. The lookout lowers her spyglass and begins to call out. Fused have been spotted.
