Star,” Hoid said, planting his staff in the sand with each step, “would you like a story?”
“Please,” she whispered.
Ocean wind blew his hair like a capped wave. “This,” he said, “is the story of wise King Nohadon, and how he saved Roshar.”

Well, perhaps she could try not to underestimate him, like Dajer was obviously doing. This was another point her master had made, repeatedly, to her. Her people—as powerful, immortal beings that were regularly worshipped—had a habit of being…
Well, “distinctly insufferable” was how her master had put it. And for all that her uncle and Hoid had different worldviews, Frost had encouraged her apprenticeship. She still remembered what he’d said. Learn from him. For he is one of the few grander than we are, and yet he treats all the same.
While “same” to Master Hoid involved a great deal of mockery, she hoped she had learned what her uncle wanted. A little.
“So we escape,” Starling said. “We’ve been in tighter situations than this!”
“We have?” Ed said.
“Um…well, Master Hoid and I have been.”
He always got out of them. Sometimes it was dicier for her. Traveling with him could be…an experience. She’d relished every moment, but then again, she was basically indestructible—and it hadn’t been his fault he’d dropped her into a volcano.
“Hey,” Starling said. “Let’s look up, shall we? I mean, not physically. Keep your chins down, and all. But metaphorically. We can talk freely now. Which means you can listen to my plan for how we escape. We’re going to fly out of here free as dragons before too long.”
Leonore leaned forward. “Escape? From trained Malwish soldiers? With a full flight of fighters and a gunship? Captain, I love you, but you’re crazy. We’d be blown to pieces.”
“Star,” Nazh said softly, “you need to stop worrying about that one. The horde will be gone from this ship as soon as Xisis finds a proper ship’s doctor.”
“Master Hoid told me to watch over the crew,” she whispered.
