Pattern buzzed, speaking with a new voice, interpreting the sphere’s words. “I am a stick,� he said. He sounded satisfied.
“You could be fire,� Shallan said.

“I am a stick.�
“How do I make it change?� Shallan asked of Pattern.
“Mm . . . I do not know. You must persuade it. Offer it truths, I think?� He sounded agitated. “This place is dangerous for you. For us. Please. Speed.�
She looked back at the stick.
“You want to burn.�
“I am a stick.�
“Think how much fun it would be?�
“I am a stick.�
“Stormlight,� Shallan said. “You could have it! All that I’m holding.�

“I am—�
“—a stick,â€� Shallan said.”
