Oathbringer: Chapter 21

Progression of the Chapter:
Shallan is awakened by Adolin knocking on her door, concerned that she hasn't been out all day. She had spent the previous night out as Veil, drinking heavily and engaging in risky behavior, and now feels groggy and disoriented. Adolin checks in on her, and they exchange playful banter about Shallan's "girl stuff" and her reckless activities. Despite her powers as a Knight Radiant, she admits to psychological struggles more than physical ones.
Adolin, always supportive, brings her washwater and a sphere filled with Stormlight, which she uses to heal her hand and clear her head. They have a casual, humorous conversation, reflecting their comfort and chemistry with each other. Adolin expresses concern about their upcoming meeting with Ialai Sadeas, a distrustful and calculating woman, and asks for Shallan's support.
Later, Shallan gets ready and joins Adolin as they head to meet Ialai. Along the way, they reflect on the current state of affairs, including Dalinar's attempts to unite the highprinces and the tension between different factions. When they finally arrive at Ialai's chambers, they are greeted by her and Mraize, a leader of the Ghostbloods, foreshadowing a tense confrontation.
