→Training to be Windrunners
|
As the training began, Rock handed off the stirring to Dabbid. He watched as Huio was stirring the shiki he had made the day before. He was horrified though when Huio added labzo to the drink. Rock bellowed and stomped over to him demanding to know what he was doing. Huio said something in Herdazian and Rock yelled for Lopen to come talk to his cousin. However, Lopen paid him no mind and continuing talking about how he got stuck to the ceiling earlier. Huio just simply offered Rock a spoon of the mixture to try. Rock was surprised to find the drink was very good. Huio smiled and Rock asked him to do the same to the rest of the shiki, promising he wouldn't kill him.{{book ref|sa3|37}}

Rock searched for Hobber, knowing the man couldn't have gotten far since he was unable to walk. His search was interrupted by Lopen's failed attempt to fly and Kaladin's scolding in response. He grunted in amusement and rounded the cooking station to find Hobber with Kaladin kneeling before him. Kaladin explained he had to breathe in the Stormlight, something he wasn't really sure he was doing until Teft explained it to him. Hobber objected, saying he wasn't that good with the spear and barely a passable cook. Rock knew that passable was a stretch, but Hobber needed a job he could do sitting after he was injured in the attack by the Assassin in White and Rock was happy to have him. Rock watched as Kaladin folded the gemstone in Hobber's fingers and just asked him to try, explaining that being a Radiant wasn't about strength or skill as much as it was about heart. Kaladin told Hobber that his heart was the best of all of them. Rock looked on as Kaladin gripped Hobber on the arm, almost seeming to tear up.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
The captain asked Rock about how things worked on the peaks with only the younger sons going to war. Kaladin stated that meant they hardly ever lost sons in battle. Rock laughed, telling Kaladin he didn't know how big Horneater families were. Rock explained that the Peaks were a different place. Kaladin admitted they sounded nice and Rock offered for him and Bridge Four to come visit sometime as they are all family now. The two watched as Lopen still remained stuck to the ground. The two laughed and Rock said that perhaps Lopen would be less "Lopen" when he was away from the toxic air. Kaladin chuckled, but then asked Rock what happened to his brother. Rock told him that it is a sad story and the day was not one for sad stories. Kaladin patted him on the shoulder and told him if he ever needed to talk, he would be around. Rock nodded and pointed to the where someone was crossing the bridge to their plateau, saying the king had been wanting to speak with him.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
Rock listened on as Kaladin talked to the king, knowing he didn't just come to talk to the captain, but also to observe the training. Rock handed a drink to the king, seeing their old bridge as he did. Rock thought they had lost it, but a salvage party found it and hauled it up at Teft's request. He looked beyond it and was unsettled with what he saw, the next plateau ruined by the Everstorm and the Battle of Narak. Dalinar patted the bridge and walked back to his cooking station. He washed his hands and got to work on the bread. Despite not participating in the training or sparring, he was still a part of Bridge Four. As he continued to work the bread, he could almost hear his mother's humming in their kitchen. He knew that Kaladin had been wrong. He didn't become a cook, he'd always been one. He closed his eyes, humming his mother's song until he heard Prince Renarin's footsteps beside him.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
