“Don’t worry. I don’t struggle with feelings of insecurity any longer.”
“Good.”
“I’d say I’m pretty good at them.”

“My jokes are not bad. They’re incredible. And they take a ton of work to create on the spot for the exact perfect situation.”
“A ton of work. To create on the spot. As if you don’t prepare them ahead of time?”
“Never.”
“Yeah? I’ve noticed you often seem to have one ready when you meet someone.”
“Well, of course. That kind of joke is a great greeting. They’re supposed to be hilarious.”
He frowned.
“As in,” she added, “not goodbyelarious.”
He stared at her. Then he went a little cross-eyed.
Ha! Veil thought._HA!_
“Oh dear,” Shallan said. “Did I break you?”
“But …‘hilarious’ doesn’t start with a ‘hi’ sound.… It doesn’t make sense.…”

– Mit keres ő itt? – kérdezte Kaladin.
– Felteszem, azért jött, hogy engem lásson – felelte a herceg. – Általában úgy kell elkergetnem őket.
– Őket?
– Hát, tudod. A lányokat, akik bámulni akarnak, míg harcolok. Nem bánnám a jelenlétüket, de ha megengednénk, minden alkalommal elözönlenék a gyakorlóteret, amikor eljövök ide. Lehetetlen lenne gyakorolni.
Kaladin felvonta a szemöldökét.
– Mi az? – tudakolta Adolin. – Téged nem néznek harc közben a nők, hidászfiú?

„Kaladin frowned. “Wait. Are you wearing cologne? In prison?”
“Well, there was no need to be barbaric, just because I was incarcerated.”
“Storms, you’re spoiled,” Kaladin said, smiling.
“I’m refined, you insolent farmer,” Adolin said. Then he grinned. “Besides, I’ll have you know that I had to use cold water for my baths while here.”
“Poor boy.”

„What are you doing here, bridgeboy?” Adolin hissed from within his helmet.
“Playing one of the ten fools.”
Adolin grunted. “Welcome to the party.”

“Oh!” Pattern said suddenly, bursting up from the bowl to hover in the air. “You were talking about mating! I’m to make sure you don’t accidentally mate, as mating is forbidden by human society until you have first performed appropriate rituals! Yes, yes. Mmmm. Dictates of custom require following certain patterns before you copulate. I’ve been studying this!”

“Very well, you two,” Pattern said. “No mating. NO MATING.” He hummed to himself, as if pleased, then sank down onto a plate.”

– Hogy érzed magad?
– Van fogalmad róla, mennyire szerettem ezt a kabátot?
– Jaj, Adolin!
– De komolyan, Shallan. A seborvosoknak jobban kéne ügyelniük a ruhára, amit szétvágnak. Ha az ember életben marad, akkor szüksége lesz arra az ingre. És ha meghal… hát, az a legkevesebb, hogy legyen jól öltözött a halálos ágyán.
