For their first date, Adolin took Shallan to one of the trendy winehouses that allowed viewings of oncoming highstorms. Shallan asked him about plateau runs. He started telling the story like he had donetold many times, until she asked him how he poopspooped if he's was in shardplateShardplate. Though embarrassed, Adolin revealed that he has defecated in his shardplateShardplate three times, all on purpose. From that point on, their interaction became more genuine. They moved on to discussing chasmfiends, gemhearts and sustainability of the chasmfiend population. Adolin feigned ignorance for a while, saying he isnwasn't good at anything that doesndidn't involve stabbing, but eventually said he was not as dense as he was pretending. Shallan suggested raising and harvesting chasmfiends as a solution to their dwindling population. Adolin, surprising Shallan, asked her what she would need to make it happen. She asked to be taken out onto the Shattered Plains to see an uncut chrysalis for herself. Adolin was hesitant about this, but Shallan tellstold him she knew he'd protect her. Adolin revealed to Shallan his father's visions and Sadeas's betrayal to Shallan. In turn, Shallan revealed Jasnah's suspicions of the [[Parshmen]] being related to the return of the [[Voidbringers]]. Adolin told Shallan he'd talk to his aunt and try to smooth things over for her so Shallan could talk to Navani about Jasnah's research. Afterwards, they watched the approaching highstorm and were the last remaining spectators until Adolin had to drag Shallan indoors before the storm hitshit. Before they gowent to the gender segregated sitting rooms, Adolin promised to try and get her out onto the Plains. {{book ref|sa2|49}}

While waiting out the highstorm, Adolin encountered Sadeas. Sadeas tried to engage Adolin in conversation about fashion, and Adolin thought about how much he wanted to kill the highprince, butthough he knew that it would only lead to his own execution or exile. Sadeas revealed that he hashad renounced the title of [[Highprince of Information]]. Adolin interprettedinterpreted this as a rejection of the King's authority. Sadeas went on to say that he was glad Adolin had survived the Tower and that he would make a fine highprince in the upcoming months. andHe predicted that in ten years he and Adolin would have a fine alliance. Adolin countered withby saying he'd have killed Sadeas by then. When Adolin returned to his father's bunker, he found the bridgemen grouped around another mysterious message on the wall. Adolin had them summon Navani. Dalinar believed he might have made the markings during one of his fits, because they were made with his knife but. Adolin pointed out anyone could have taken itthe knife to do this.that, but Dalinar and Navani were of a different opinion however.{{book ref|sa2|50}}

The next day, Adolin took Dalinar's place at the meeting with [[Eshonai]]. He was pretendingpretended to be himDalinar by wearing Renarin's Shardplate. When he met Eshonai, she told him that the Parshendi had changed the rules of the conflict and, that peace would be achieved when one of them was dead, and that the gemhearts no longer mattered. When Adolin reiterated the desire for peace, Eshonai replied that the Alethi would have to destroy the Parshendi. When asked why they had killed Gavilar, she told him that Gavilar had explained them his plans to them and thought they'd delight in the return of their gods. When Adolin returned to the camps, he found Dalinar and his generals formulating a plan to take the fight to the Parshendi directly.{{book ref|sa2|51}}

Adolin continued with his father's plan of winning shardblades,Shardblades and finally duelled [[Elit Ruthar|Elit]]. During the duel, Elit made several moves to either injure or kill Adolin. Adolin won the duel by completely draining Elit's plate of stormlight. Shallan visited Adolin after his duel and told him that she had discovered a way to help him with his duels, but it required he do something truly amazing. When Relis arrived, as Adolin suspected he would, he managed to convince Relis to duel him by saying he would fight Relis and whoeverwhomever else he would bring. When they left, Shallan asked Adolin if he could beat two Shardbearers and; Adolin sayssaid he wasn't sure but he hoped it would be spectacular enough for her plan.{{book ref|sa2|53}}

While taking Shallan on a date, Adolin was accompanied by Kaladin, much to his chagrin. He was further annoyed by Kaladin insisting he had to be in the carriage with them. While travelling to the menagerie, Shallan told Adolin and the listening Kaladin the account of Sadeas's duel with Highprince [[Yenev]] eighteen years prior. Sadeas had won the chance to duel and had killkilled Yenev through the [[Right of Challenge]] and the [[King's Boon]]. Kaladin didn't think Sadeas would agree to the Right of Challenge, but Adolin and Shallan told him that Sadeas must obey it. They also explained to him that this iswas all about destroying reputation and image; Sadeas had formed a coalition against the king, thus implying he was stronger than the king. Everyone, isincluding playingSadeas, awas gameplaying andby it'sthe rules Sadeasof wasa playing bygame, so defeating him within those parameters was possible. When there was a commotion at the gates of the menagerie, Adolin stayed with Shallan while Kaladin went to check things out. Dalinar had arrived, with Amaram in tow, announcing that the Knights Radiant had been reestablished with Amaram as their leader.{{book ref|sa2|55}}
