*Dalinar faintly stirs*

Grandfather! Wake up!

*dryly* Your standards are very high.

*she leans against the wall outside the door* You know who I'm married to. Any day without any stabbing is a success.

*Dalinar faintly stirs*

Grandfather! Wake up!

*dryly* Your standards are very high.

I want there either. From what I hear he opened a particularly large perpendicularity. A bridge between worlds.

... that sounds like something that could make a man pass out. As far as I can tell, this is a lot like pewterdrag. *she shrugs* He should wake up on his own eventually. I've tried getting a response, but he's just... out.

*still glaring* Wake him up now.

I don't know how. He's exhausted himself. I'm sorry. We just have to wait.

Liar! *goes back to Dalinar and starts shaking him to try to get him to wake up* Grandfather!

Gav.

*she opens the door and almost closes it immediately, then hesitates* ... is this about Dalinar?

*Gav looks up at the mention of Dalinar* Grandfather?

Oh. *she softens immediately and gives him a gentle smile* He's alright. I think he overdid... whatever it was he was doing, so he's been... asleep. *she opens the door further so they can see Dalinar on the floor, in a nest of pillows and blankets, glowing softly*

*shoves past Mare, crashing to the floor beside Dalinar* Grandfather!?

*moves across the pillows and onto Dalinar's chest* Mmmm... his respiratory rate is normal. His pulse as well. This is what he appears like when he puts his body down to sleep at night.

*stands, moving protectively between Mare and Dalinar* What did you do to him?

I want there either. From what I hear he opened a particularly large perpendicularity. A bridge between worlds.

Oh, no. Mmmmmmmm... we can prepare for the most likely of occurrences, of course! We can learn about our surroundings and make a list of what dangers there may be, and then anticipate them.

*sniffling sob* I w-want Gr-grandfath-*sob*-father....

*hums in greeting* Hello, Hoid! Do you know where we are going? Have you seen the Bondsmith?

*stares blankly like he can't quite figure out where he is, then gets into the car numbly, his expression vacant*

Can confirm that this is more or less how it went.

*very, very faint sound of humming in the distance*

*calmly gets into the car, practically ignoring Gav's manhandling*

What is wrong with you? Don't you care?

*icy glare* How fast would you be moving if it was your friend in trouble?

Oh, so you just don't care about your friends!

*calmly gets into the car, practically ignoring Gav's manhandling*

*icy glare* How fast would you be moving if it was your friend in trouble?

*too panicked to listen, grabs Hoid by the lapels of his shirt* You have to take me back! I have to find her!

I... I can feel her. I think. I have to find her before something happens! Someone put her in a jar once, what if she gets trapped again? *trying to shove Hoid back into the car* Take me back to where we were!

*nods* I got it. Find your friend.
