Kaladin and Rock set Teft up in one of the barrack rooms, privately. They wrapped blankets around him and brought him some of Rock's stew. Teft apologized and promised to tell them if he started feeling the need again. He couldn't eat the stew just yet though, unable to keep anything down. They let him rest and Teft thought about how they were better friends than he deserved, growing into something grand while Teft stayed on the ground. Before the day was up, Teft was back to training bridgemen from other crews, able to function, but even as he went back to work, the realization that he wasn't going to get any more firemoss for a while hurt him more than anything. He realized he was going to have to go a few excruciating days of feeling like half a man, where all he wouldn't feel anything but his self-loathing and his shame. The thought of no help terrified Teft.{{book ref|sa3|41}}
===When the Dream Dies===
====Confessions with Skar====
Teft came over and sat beside Skar and offered him some of the food that Leyten brought, telling the lad to eat something. Skar reminded him that he wasn’t that much younger than him. Teft nodded, helping himself to the food. Skar confided that he was worried that he would never draw Stormlight and there would be no need for a lieutenant who has to walk everywhere. Teft tried to convince him there was nothing wrong with being on the support team. Skar argued that he waited forever to hold a spear and he’s good at fighting.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
Teft guessed that he was military but Skar admitted that the Blackcaps didn’t think much of his application, being a runt and all. He could afford armor costs, so he ended up being a rocksplitter. As Skar confessed to his past, he realized that they had all come to share things about their past and it was cathartic. Teft interrupted his thoughts and said that one would think their leader would be there by now, but he was acting more like a lightens every day. Skar warned him not to let Kaladin hear him say that.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
Teft snapped that he could say what he wanted, that he had things he could be doing if Kaladin wasn’t going to show. Skar gave him a concerned look and Teft promised him not that, that he hadn’t touched the stuff in days. Teft continued to argue that they all treated him differently and that the problem wasn’t him and the moss, but it was the world going crazy. Skar agreed and Teft studied him before asking how long the men had known about his problem. Skar lied to him that they hadn’t known long and nobody was really thinking about it. He knew the truth was that the men had known for a while and Teft’s behavior might have gotten him discharged or worse, assigned to bridge duty. Teft ended the conversation, reminding him they were talking about Skar’s glow when Kaladin appeared.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
====An Officer's Meeting====
Once they arrived at the training plateau, Kaladin pulled the officers together for a meeting where he confessed that he was worried that nobody practicing with Bridge Four had breathed Stormlight yet. Sigzil reminded him it had only been two weeks. Kaladin agreed, but said that Syl thinks several feel right, but she wouldn’t tell him who. He told the men that he asked General Khal to send more hopefuls to give them a better chance of finding squires. Kaladin admitted that maybe he should have told Khal not to include any lighteyes as it wouldn’t be right to have them in Bridge Four. Skar objected that Kaladin was now lightens as was Renarin. He added that anyone else who earned their own blades would also be lighteyed.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
Kaladin conceded and said the point was he didn’t have a lot of time before the trip with Elhokar and he wanted to push the recruits harder. Rock suggested they shove them off the edge of the plateau and see who can fly. Kaladin asked for serious suggestions and Teft offered to run them through formations. Kaladin agreed, but confessed that he wished he knew how the Radiants originally handled expansion, whether they did recruitment drives or just waited for those that drew spren. Teft pointed out that they wouldn’t be squires at that point, but rather full Radiants. Sigzil agreed, but they also don’t know if being a squire is required to become a full Radiant, that perhaps it comes down to one’s spren.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
Skar agreed uncomfortably, which caused them all to glance at him. He promised to punch the first person who said something placating. He looks to Rock and promises the stomach if he can’t reach it. Rock joked that he could hit his face if he jumped, then he might be as tall as a regular person. Kaladin interrupted them and told Teft to run the potential recruits through formations. He told him to have the other men watch the sky as he was worried and confused by the Fused still harrying them. Skar shared a glance with Sigzil who shrugged as they didn’t know about things like strategy and battlefield tactics.{{book ref|sa3|46}}
