color: palatinate rating: 6/10 it’s kind of a meh color

And he doesn't take it with saintlike grace, but he doesn't take it that poorly either. Sure, he whines about it, but he doesn't flip and serve Odium or desert or start treating darkeyes poorly when he can get away with it. Compare that with other characters who do flip their allegiances and/or their shit when they can't get what they want, like Amaram.

He just leaves the squires and tries to find somewhere else he can contribute. When Dalinar ditches his bodyguards again (including Colot), he explicitly tells Adolin not to worry about him. Adolin, being Adolin, recruits him anyway and Colot goes to help defend Azir.

Because Colot still believes in the cause of fighting Odium. He recognizes that's more important than his own feelings of being slighted.

And in between complaining, he locks in and aids in the defense to the best of his ability, culminating in becoming one of the Unoathed thanks to Adolin's power of friendship.
