Kaladin looked to his mother, feeling helpless. She shrugged. “You shouldn’t force someone into war, Kaladin. Not unless you want to be like Amaram.” “You’re taking Teft’s side?” Kaladin asked. “Lad,” Teft said softly, “you ain’t the only one with a mind full of horrors. You ain’t the only one whose hands shake now and then, thinking of it all. I need a rest too. That’s Kelek’s own truth.”
