A few weeks later at another of Elhokar's feasts, Hoid stole a stool from one of the lighteyed artist competitions and set himself up near the bridge to the king's feasting island, insulting each of the people who came by.{{book ref|sa1|22}} When Dalinar came by, Hoid warned him that there were rumors about Dalinar being spread about, including that Dalinar had mentioned abandoning the Vengeance Pact. As Dalinar left, Navani approached the island and she and Wit exchanged friendly insults.

 

Hoid became suspicious that Dalinar Kholin was a member of a secret society that was [[cosmere]] aware.{{cite}} At another feast later, Hoid sat down next to Dalinar at a feast, wearing a hooded cloak.{{book ref|sa1|54}} Hoid asked Dalinar if he had heard the term Adonalsium. After Dalinar expressed confusion, Hoid moved on with the conversation, warning Dalinar that Sadeas was planning a revelation at the feast that night, although he was uncertain what it was. Hoid told Dalinar that he had to leave the Plains, but that events were growing dangerous and that Dalinar was at the core of it all. Before leaving the Plains, Hoid stopped by the edge of the chasms, lighting a fire and playing his Trailman's flute.{{book ref|sa1|57}} Kaladin happened by at the time, and Wit called out to Kaladin introducing himself and asking Kaladin's name. Kaladin tried to leave, but before he could Wit asked that he stay and listen to a story. Hoid told Kaladin the tale of Derethil and the Wandersail, a Rosharan myth about a king who sailed to the origin of the Voidbringers. As Kaladin saw various images from the story in Hoid's fire, it is possible that Hoid was Lightweaving as he played. After the story, Kaladin asked Hoid if the tale had been true and Hoid admitted it had been a lie. When Kaladin asked what the story had meant, Hoid refused to explain, saying it was up to the person who heard it to interpret for themselves. When Kaladin said that the story had been about taking responsibility, Hoid asked what Kaladin had been trying to avoid responsibility for and gave Kaladin his flute, asking Kaladin to learn to play it. As he left, Hoid asked Kaladin to look after Sigzil and tell him that he had achieved the rank of a full Worldsinger.
