What would you like to know?

...Tell me how you feel about it? Sometimes it helps.

Well, it's - I lived on the streets for most of my life, you know? And I was taught to evade notice whenever possible. My brother didn't want us to be found wherever we went. There was about a year where that changed, where I didn't have to hide in the same way, and I found people I really care about. But now - I guess it's difficult to wonder just what they value about me, and to feel like I don't have anywhere to hide anymore.

... I see. Especially with your situation, with the rebellion and all...
[ just what they value. do they value her skills? her leadership? vin as a figure, not as a person. he gets it. that's a hard lesson rondo learned, recently, about idolizing people and the suffering it can create for the people behind the titles. ]
I can't blame you for wondering. And... I know that we've been through it before, but - I'm sorry, that you've had to have all of that pressure on your shoulders, too. [ another little squeeze ] You are between a rock and a hard place.

It's different for Kelsier. You know, the reason most people started knowing who he is - there's a place where criminals are sent, where I'm from, called the pits of Hathsin. It was like a mine, and the only way to get the materials they needed was to put your arms into these small crevices in the earth located all over to try and pull pieces of it out, day in and day out. Nobody was permitted to leave - he's the only person who ever escaped. He still had the scars on his arms from it; it's how people recognized him.
[it's gruesome subject matter, but once she's done, she smiles a little as she continues.]
They started calling him the Survivor of Hathsin. He was in hiding from those in power, obviously, but - he'd still let people of our class come to see him. You should have seen the way he was with crowds. He never seemed to mind being a symbol of resistance, of hope. [...] It'll be so good to see him again.

ah... rondo really likes listening to her talk about kelsier, honestly. it's nice to hear about someone she loves, someone who has supported her and helped her so much, and... knowing what's coming, too. he squeezes her hand, once the more gruesome, awful part is finished. ]
... He sounds incredible. [ quietly. ] And I'm glad you'll have him once more, too.
...Will you tell him about this place? And what you went through.
no subject
she gives a little nod, though.]
He's going to have a few questions about how he's alive again, I imagine.
no subject
he nods... that... makes sense. imagine not telling people about your murdergame. temenos mistral energy. ]
Do you think he'll take it alright...? [ ... ] I'd like to write him a letter, if you wouldn't mind.
no subject
[blinks]
What do you want to tell him?
no subject
[ sentimental, sappy baby. he wafts soft emotions - warm and fond. ]
I've written a few other letters for other people - so, I'd like to.
no subject
the way the vibes are still fond but also]
He's going to be so annoying if you tell him that...
no subject
I'm sure it won't be that bad! And anyway, you can't read the letter first! You have to give it to him the way it is, no peeking at it.

Okay, okay. [ ... ] I wish I could meet him.

[ he loves that idea, frankly. world travel to him honestly sounds better than timeline resetting but his time is kind of unique. then again maybe it would be bad if he was just stranded in hell waiting for the ringbearer chosen. hrm.
anyway ]
I'd like to! Maybe I can introduce you to some of the other guardians. I bet you'd like Mr. Bargello a lot.

He's the leader of a mafia family in Valore - so... organized crime? But, the families take care of all the people in the town. I've not ever been there myself, and I don't know him really well - we've only just started working together recently. But he's really level headed and smart, and his family reminds me a lot of the way that you describe your group.
He's got a similar sense of humor to you, too. And for him to be one of the guardians of light - he's a very, very good person. Though, I could tell that without the title, haha. He, King Richard, the Ringbearer Chosen [ (jan voice) don't ask ] and one other person accompanied me when I earned my Flame.
