“Your son is a soldier, Lirin. A soldier who inherited his father’s determination, skill, and compassion. You tell me honestly. Who would you rather have out there fighting? Some crazed killer who enjoys it, or the boy you trained to care?”
(Rhythm of War)
He had promised to help Azir. But why? Because his mother had trained him to care. As Dalinar had worked to make Adolin into a weapon, Evi had worked to make Adolin into one that had meaning.
(Wind and Truth)
I loved how those two passages rhymed. Kaladin and Adolin - the boys that care. I love them so much.
Alternate eye colour for Kaladin, and alternative state of awakening for Adolin’s armour. 😂
