Dabbid seems to have retreated somewhere inward, his gaze unfocused and his lips moving without sound. Young and visibly hurt, he carries a silence that makes even the everyday labor around him feel heavy.

A young bridgeman, Dabbid is badly shaken after the violence around the crews and is left with a broken arm, his lips moving soundlessly while he stares ahead. Though he does not speak, he remains among the others, accepting care and helping with the work of carrying water. His quiet presence becomes part of the fragile companionship gathered around Kaladin and the bridge crews.
Description
Dabbid is a young male bridgeman, though the text gives no exact age, height, or build. His most striking visible feature is a broken arm held at an awkward angle; his eyes are described as dazed and unfocused, and his lips sometimes move without producing sound. His hair, complexion, and other facial features are not specified. He wears the plain, practical clothes of a bridgeman, with a stunned, withdrawn presence that sets him apart from the bustle around him.
