“the purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.”

“Don’t deny it, Rock…I’m still the strange one. I’ve always been the strangest one.”

Lunamor slapped dough onto a rock, then pointed towards where Rlain - the Parshendi bridgemen they used to call Shen - sat on a rock near his squad, watching quietly as the others laughed…the humans seemed to have completely forgotten that he was there.

“Oh,” Renarin said. “I don’t know if he counts.”

“This thing is what everyone always tells him,” Lunamor said. “Over and over again.”

Renarin stared for a long time while Lunamor continued to make bread. Finally, Renarin stood up and dusted off his uniform, walked across the stone plateau, and settled down beside Rlain. Renarin fidgeted and didn’t say anything, but Rlain seemed to appreciate the company anyway.”

Cenn is a fifteen-year-old soldier in Amaram’s army who reminded Kaladin of his younger brother Tien. Due to this reminder, Kaladin arranged for Cenn to be transferred from Gare’s squad to his squad in order to protect Cenn. Even so, Cenn was killed by a Shardbearer during his first battle.
