“Uh,” Ham said, “What about the Ministry? Shouldn’t we at least find a way to keep an eye on those Inquisitors?”
Kelsier smiled. “We’ll let my brother deal with them.”
“Like hell you will,” a new voice said from the back of the room.

Breeze rolled his eyes. “We’re thieves, my dear man, not politicians. A nation is far too unwieldy a commodity to be worth our time. Once we have our atium, we’ll be happy.”

I thought about waking her up and confessing about the kiss. Both kisses. I thought about asking her to yell at me later but advise me now, to tell me about boys, to tell me about what life was like for her when she was my age, a year before she became steel-eyed and hard-hearted. I wanted to know about desire: if having it and receiving it meant that your sense of self was gone; if there was anything romantic in melding with another person, like Sheila and Brandon. I knew she had the answers. I knew she'd be able to reach in and sort me out even if I hated her for it.

Wow, that is... massively relieving, if I’m honest. Wow, that... oh thank goodness. Just bonus, that’s all, it’s not an ultimate goal, just a little side quest.
...Right, Kelsier? ...why am I still on edge? And... not believing it’s not your goal?......
She never felt like she belonged anywhere, except for when she was lying on her bed, pretending to be somewhere else.
