Dalinar sees Evi right after she's given birth and mentally compares her facial expression to one he's seen on soldiers after a harrowing but victorious battle, the look of a person who has had to push themself further than they ever thought they could go but who has come through it in the end. There's a nice bit of [[NotSoDifferent respect and empathy]] baked into that short observation, especially given how much trouble Dalinar and Evi always have relating to and understanding each other.
