One character dynamic that featured a little more heavily in the early books was the realization that Kaladin and Shallan have, independently, that Kaladin has killed Helaran, you know? That's kind of a very big deal. But it's not something that the characters have ever really gotten around to discussing, at least on-screen, and so is there a reason that you feel like they weren't ready to get to that and is it something you foresee that they'll ever get to or is that not an angle you're interested in exploring?

I still have that on my list of things that we could get to, but this is character stuff and so I don't force it. And part of the reason that I haven't forced it is Shallan doesn't confront problems and Kaladin has been breaking. And it's just another thing to deal with, and I don't think either of them want to deal with it.
Will they? Keep in mind these sort of things I try to treat very naturally like people do and sometimes you just don't talk about it. Sometimes you do. It'd be good for them to talk about it. Will it happen? It's really going to depend on if I find the right situation that it feels like the characters would do it. This is where the Brandon the outliner goes out the window and Brandon the write it by the vibe comes in. This is just one of those things that's kind of looming over them and they both kind of know it.
