Date Ideas for Shakadolin
Shakadolin list requested by anon. :)
Let's say that Shallan, Kaladin, and Adolin are a throuple--what would be some fun, romantic dates they could go on? Oh, and "Shakadolin" is a blog tag if you need more. :)
Now, those places don't exist on Roshar so far as I know--you know, places where you have a glass of wine while painting along with an instructor. But if anyone were to invent it...
Kaladin: So we just...drink wine and also paint?
Adolin: I know it sounds girly, but it's really fun!
Shallan: Although Adolin tends to drink more than he paints...
Adolin: And Shallan tends to paint more than she drinks...
Shallan: So basically, you can't go wrong!
It's all about letting Adolin share an experience that Shallan & Kaladin once had.
Adolin: You know, I really appreciate you two wanting to make me a part of this experience, retroactively.
Adolin: But being down here... Doesn't it kind of...suck?
Shallan (nostalgically): Yeah, it sure does.
Kaladin (nostalgically): It's so damp and terrible.
Adolin: ...
Adolin: Maybe I don't need to share everything.
3. Sword Fighting with Vasher
It's about letting Shallan share an experience that Adolin & Kaladin once had.
Vasher: No.
Adolin: Vasher! Don't be sexist! Women use swords now!
Vasher: I got no problem with women using swords.
Vasher: I have a problem with being treated as a "fun date activity."
Shallan: A problem with which word, precisely? Fun? Date? Activity?
Vasher: Yes.
Kaladin: ...I saw this coming.
4. Wine restaurant just before a highstorm
It's all about letting Kaladin share an experience that Shallan & Adolin had.
Kaladin: The stormwall--I can see it!
Shallan: Look at it! So majestic!
Kaladin: You can REALLY feel the wind starting to pick up!
Shallan: Mmm...so murderous.
Adolin: Uh...guys? They're about to close the doors!
Adolin: ...
Adolin: Wow, deja vu.
It's like the date that Kaladin once accompanied Shallan & Adolin on, only now he's a participant.
Adolin & Kaladin: [Watching while Shallan furiously sketches]
Adolin: Just like old times, huh?
Kaladin: I wasn't holding your hand, last time.
Adolin: Nearly like old times, huh?
It's a version of the Towers game that Adolin invented.
Kaladin: [shows up wearing 5 pairs of socks, 3 sweaters, and 11 hats]
Adolin: ...
Shallan: ...
Kaladin: I'm going to storming WIN.
Here's another activity that doesn't exactly exist, but Kaladin has been known to make his own rock-climbing routes, and I bet Shallan would be great at designing fun routes.
Shallan: As you can see, Routes A & B are identical!
Shallan: The job of you two is to race to the top!
Shallan: Winner gets something special! (It's a kiss.)
Kaladin: Is us being shirtless absolutely necessary...?
Shallan & Adolin: Yes.
8. Just hanging out and having a meal together
They had food brought to Shallan's room. It's like that one date she and Adolin had--only Kaladin is there. And Pattern. And Syl.
Pattern: I'm glad you're here! You can help me enforce "no mating!"
Syl: Enforce it? I plan to give advice when the mating happens!
Syl: I've been sneaking into threesomes for weeks now!
Adolin: ...
Shallan: ...
Kaladin: ...
Adolin: Ah, dating Radiants.
