The Way of Kings: Interlude 2

Nan Balat, Shallan's elder brother, is torturing various small animals in the gardens of their family's estate. He reflects on how Shallan is doing most of the work to save their family, and tries to convince himself that he isn't a coward for remaining at home to manage the family estate. He admits to some resentment of Shallan, because of all of their siblings, she was the only one with whom their father never truly became angry. He is shortly interrupted in his thoughts by Tet Wikim, his younger brother, coming to find him with the announcement that they have a big problem.
