Nale - Tumblr Posts

There's an interesting parallel between Kaladin vs Szeth and Lift vs Nale: Both of them, in a climactic moment, swear the third ideal and summon their blade right before fighting either Szeth or Nale as the everstorm approaches. Szeth and Nale both make a very similar comment like "You mean to fight me? You are new to this" right before Szeth gets beaten by Kaladin and Nale fails to kill Lift. Anyway from this we can conclude that if the fight had continued and Nale hadn't realized he was wrong and stopped fighting, Lift was about to kill him.
