==== The Investigation ====
Adolin
Two days later Adolin informed his father of his findings. Dalinar and Adolin agreed that the best action would be for Dalinar to talk with Elhokar that they found nothing. Adolin brought up the visions, but Dalinar ended the conversation as they arrived at one of the king's feasts. Before they part ways Dalinar orders Adolin and Renarin to restrict their drinking.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
During the feast, Adolin found his father once more and informed him that he had dueled three different men who had accused both Dalinar and House Kholin of being cowards and of asking the king to abandon the [[Vengeance Pact]]. Dalinar told Adolin to ignore what others say or think. He added that the rumors were true. Dalinar had told the king in confidence they needed to end the war and return to Alterhkar. Dalinar asked for Adolin's trust and promisses to talk later, but Adolin replied he was worrried that the visions may be delusions. His father then acknowledged Adolin was right to be worried about their House's reputation. Dalinar thought that Elhokar would keep quiet about their conversation. He explained to Adolin he had suggested winning the war by striking the Parshendi directly.{{book ref|sa1|18}} Once the Vengeance Pact is fulfilled they would be able to go back home and stabilize Alethkar.{{book ref|sa1|22}} Adolin agreed with the his father's plan without objection, to Dalinar's surprise. Adolin explained he can support a strike, but that they would need a solid plan to get everyone on board with it. They planned to slowly get the highprinces to start working together with them to build trust. On the gossip, they disagreed with Adolin wanting to defend the house's honor. Dalinar countered saying that dueling others wouldn't change how they thought about the Kholins. He would publish an offical refutation, which Adolin admitted is better than nothing.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
Just as Adolin
▲Just as Adolin is about to leave his father he spots his aunt [[Navani]], who he is quick to hug affectionately. She asks him how his courting is going and Dalinar likens it to a dance in which the music is fast and the partners change often. She tells Adolin that it is good he has not settled down and that it is only old people who should have to be boring. Adolin thanks her and then leaves to tell Renarin that their aunt has returned.{{book ref|sa1|22}}
