;Plot Summary
Wax estimates the Vanishers to number two or three dozen. Marasi makes notes of their physical descriptions while Wax attempts to mollify Wayne; he wants to fight the bandits, while Wax is worried for the safety of everyone in the room and doesn't want to cause a bloodbath. The bandits move through the crowd demanding that people relinquish their jewelry. When one reaches Wax's table, he hides Marasi's notebook and Wayne's dueling canes against the table with a gentle [[Allomancy|Push]] to hold them. The apparent [[Miles Dagouter|leader]] searches, comparing the drawings in his hand with the people at each table, confirming Wax and Wayne's suspicion about the kidnappings: the theft is a ruse to allay suspicion. Steris is the first hostage to be picked "at random." When the bandit leader declares they're taking two hostages, Marasi is also chosen. Wax's honor contends with his concern for the lives of the bystanders. Wayne attempts to fight only to have Wax try to talk him out of it again. Lord [[Peterus]], having recovered from being knocked down for his earlier outburst, calls the bandit leader a coward, prompting the man to shoot him. When the bandit leader then tells his men they can have some fun, Wayne erects a speed bubble and Wax finally gives in to his inner instincts.
