Once on [[Unativi]]'s barge, Zu liked to spend time in conversation with the other [[peakspren]].{{book ref|sa4|24}} She and Ua'pam made arrangements for the group to camp outside of [[Nameless]] when the barge landed there.{{book ref|sa4|30}} She frequently scouted ahead of the group as they traveled.{{book ref|sa4|22}}{{book ref|sa4|32}} Zu pointed out to Adolin that the [[Tukar]]i caravan was still keeping pace behind them after they passed the crossroads. She blithely suggested to Adolin that the two of them go confront the group, using their remaining [[Stormlight]] in the encounter. Ua'pam advised Adolin not to encourage her, and she genially rejoined her spren and went back to the camp.{{book ref|sa4|32}}

When Adolin and the Radiants discussed their approach to the honorspren, Zu admitted that she had no patience for politics and would simply tell them they were "being storming stupid" for thinking they could remain out of the conflict.{{book ref|sa4|34}} Zu was caught by surprise when Adolin figured out that the Tukari tailing them were actually after [[Notum]], but she went to his aid with the others as quickly as she could.{{book ref|sa4|35}} When they finally approached Lasting Integrity and Adolin reported to the group that he, [[Shallan]], [[Maya]], and [[Pattern]] were going to have to enter without them, Zu protested that she didn't like the idea of splitting up;{{book ref|sa4|36}} afterwards, she and Ua'pam returned with [[Arshqqam]], [[Dreaming-though-Awake]], and Adolin's soldiers to apprise [[Dalinar]] of the situation.{{book ref|sa4|75}}
