;Summary
Elend and Vin are followed by the mysterious mistborn, but ignore it as they travel to a ball at the Canton of Resource. At the ball, they split up, and Vin mingles at the party before setting off for her mission to locate the storage cache. She detects a couple of mistings, a Smoker and a Tineye, tailing her at the party. She sees Slowswift at the party, and asks him for two men to help her, and he agrees to have someone meet her on the patio. She stands on the patio waiting for Elend to create a pre-arranged distraction, and when it happens, she attacks the women, using a duralumin brass push on them, then knocking them out and having the two friends of Slowswift conceal their unconscious forms, so that she can move about undetected. She changes into more appropriate garb for subterfuge, and sneaks into a building to find the cache.
 
Elend challenges Yomen to a duel to settle their dispute over the city. Yomen declines, stating he would be at a great disadvantage against a mistborn. Yomen claims he earned the right to rule, and Elend counters that since he can control the koloss like the Lord Ruler, that he inherited the Lord Ruler's right. He continues the arguments to keep Yomen distracted as long as possible.
