Did Kaladin ever get to know how Sigzil used his name to literally ragebait Leyten into admitting it's not the leader's fault when their squires get injured or worse?

Oh.

One of them died, another became a storming Herald and the third left Roshar a broken wreck.

Thank you Sanderson.

Bridge 4 Discuss Terrible Pickup Lines

As (sort of) requested by @dewypeach and @imtheseventh

So back when @cam-ulu29 asked for a Kaladin flirting list, I ran a poll about whether it should be a sincere, sweet list or a list full of terrible, out-of-character pickup lines. The former won by a MILE, but some people were interested in the latter. Dewypeach & imtheseventh in particular suggested doing something with Bridge 4 either suggesting terrible pickup lines or having Kaladin try them out. So here's something like that!

Skar: Worst pickup lines you can come up with. Go.

Lopen: I suggested one for Kaladin, but it wasn't terrible--it was really good. He acted like it was terrible, though--does that count?

Kaladin: It WAS terrible.

Kaladin: And...weird.

Kaladin: I'm not going to flirt with Dalinar. He is my boss. And married. And old.

Lopen: So what I said, right, was that Kal should look Dalinar right in the eye, all serious-like, and say, "My relationship with my father is terrible. Will you be my new Daddy?"

Moash: [spits out drink]

Skar: No!

Lopen: Listen, it would work! I can read a man, and I KNOW that would work on Dalinar!

Kaladin: I DON'T WANT TO FLIRT WITH DALINAR, MY MARRIED ELDERLY BOSS

Lopen: Okay, okay! If you prefer to flirt with Navani, you just gotta roll up with something like, "So I heard you like long, thick towers. It just so happens that I..."

Kaladin: NO

Moash: See, the thing is, Kal, you're attractive enough that you could probably get away with a really bad pickup line.

Moash: I bet you could tell someone that you want to "Plunge straight into their their Honor Chasm" and I bet it would work.

Kaladin: That would absolutely not work.

Moash: You say that, and yet...

Rock: Moash has point, though! We are all well-known now, yes? All good-looking (except maybe for Lopen, who is unfortunately very short). I think men like us get away with some pretty bad lines, yeah?

Letyen: "You did a bridge run straight into my heart."

Moash: "I wanna explore YOUR chasms."

Kaladin: (What's you and the chasms, man?)

Lyn: "Let's...bridge this distance between us."

Teft: "I'm from Bridge 4. Do you want to get a drink?"

Skar: "Let me show you how good I am with my spear."

Sigzil: "You prefilled the forms in my heart."

[They all look at him]

Sigzil: What? In Azir, that's a very effective line.

Moash: Is that true, though, or are you making up Azir stories to trick us stupid Alethi?

Sigzil: [sips drink enigmatically]

Kaladin: Fine, fine, okay!

Kaladin: If I wanted to "pick someone up" with my Bridge 4 cred, I guess I'd try something like...

Kaladin: ...

Kaladin: Uh... How about: "My days in the bridge crews were horrible and dark. I barely survived. I lost a lot of friends. Good friends. It haunts me still. But now that I'm out, I've decided to live. And that means doing things that make me WANT to live."

Kaladin: "Like going out with you!"

Kaladin: [Looks at them expectantly]

Moash: Oh, Kal...

Lopen: Even your pretty face can't save that one, gon...

Skar: The thick tower line is looking better and better...

Kaladin: WELL YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT IT UP

[l3st1b0urn3s-707]

Moash, run for your life because I swear when I get you I'll make you suffer. First Teft and now Leyten? How does he even care to call them his friends when he's killing all of them? I swear I hate him so much.

[imonlyhereforcrem]

Do you think they put Kaladin’s soulcast body next to Teft’s? What pose did they choose for him? Which dress did the sculptor have Syl wearing? Is Leyten’s body beside them, thus defining a Bridge 4 section of Urithiru’s mausoleum? Did they create an effigy for Sig because they think the remnants of Hoid’s blood was his?

[lawabidingcinnamon]

Sigzil and Leyten chatting atop the wooden walkway, reminiscing and supporting each other in the face of defeat is actually breaking me…i’m on a train home i can’t just be crying like this! But my beautiful boys, all grown up. If one of them swears the 4th ideal I’ll actually scream

[nemmiril]

Wat chapter 81 spoilers:

Oh look. The Bridge four member without a single spoken line nor perspective shot is fighting under another Bridge four member and reminiscing.

Oh look, he’s seen the known Bridge four betrayer and member killer and is engaging anyway.

I wonder what’s going to happen to him…
