“Kelsier exhaled in exasperation. 鈥淓lend Venture? You risked your life鈥攔isked the plan, and our lives鈥攆or that fool of a boy?鈥�

Vin looked up, glaring at him. 鈥淵es.鈥�

鈥淲hat is wrong with you, girl?鈥� Kelsier asked. 鈥淓lend Venture isn鈥檛 worth this.鈥�

She stood angrily, Sazed backing away, the cloak falling the 铿俹or. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a good man!鈥�

鈥淗e鈥檚 a nobleman!鈥�

鈥淪o are you!鈥� Vin snapped. She waved a frustrated arm toward the kitchen and the crew. 鈥淲hat do you think this is, Kelsier? The life of a skaa? What do any of you know about skaa? Aristocratic suits, stalking your enemies in the night, full meals and nightcaps around the table with your friends? That鈥檚 not the life of a skaa!鈥�

She took a step forward, glaring at Kelsier. He blinked in surprise at the outburst.

鈥淲hat do you know about them, Kelsier?鈥� she asked. 鈥淲hen鈥檚 the last time you slept in an alley, shivering in the cold rain, listening to the beggar next to you cough with a sickness you knew would kill him? When鈥檚 the last time you had to lay awake at night, terri铿乪d that one of the men in your crew would try to rape you? Have you ever knelt, starving, wishing you had the courage to knife the crewmember beside you just so you could take his crust of bread? Have you ever cowered before your brother as he beat you, all the time feeling thankful because at least you had someone who paid attention to you?鈥�

She fell silent, puf铿乶g slightly, the crewmembers staring at her.

鈥淒on鈥檛 talk to me about noblemen,鈥� Vin said. 鈥淎nd don鈥檛 say things about people you don鈥檛 know. You鈥檙e no skaa鈥� you鈥檙e just noblemen without titles.鈥�

She turned, stalking from the room. Kelsier watched her go, shocked, hearing her footsteps on the stairs. He stood, dumbfounded, feeling a surprising 铿倁sh of ashamed guilt.

And, for once, found himself without anything to say.”
