At a later ball hosted by [[House Lekal]], Kliss spoke to Vin again, wondering after her absence at the previous ball.{{book ref|mb1|28}} Kliss informed Vin that [[Tren-Pedri Delouse]]'s father was considering a union with [[House Aime]] against TranTren-Pedri's wishes. Vin in turn told Kliss that she had overheard Lord Renoux speaking about [[House Hasting]] withdrawing from its contracts as it prepared to flee the city. Kliss recognized this for the lie that it was, but pretended to believe Vin. At some point afterward, Kliss became aware that Lady [[Shan Elariel]] was planning to assassinate [[Elend Venture]] during one of his philosophy meetings, along with [[Telden Hasting]] and [[Jastes Lekal]]. She also learned that Lord [[Straff Venture]] was aware of the assassination and intended to allow it, so that his nephew could inherit.
 
A week later, at the final ball held by [[House Venture]], Kliss spoke to Vin after Vin had been rebuffed by Elend. She told Vin that Elend would soon get what he deserved. Kliss asked Vin to offer her services as an informant to Lord Renoux. She also told Vin that she had caught Vin's lie about House Hasting and suspected that House Renoux had been behind the recent attack's on Hasting's barges. Kliss offered her silence in exchange for payment. Vin questioned her about what she had meant about Elend, but Kliss refused to say anything further without payment. In exchange for Vin's necklace Kliss explained that Elend was to be assassinated. Kliss refused to tell Vin any more information without payment, but Vin used emotional [[Allomancy]] to question Kliss and learn that Elend was to be killed that very night. Kliss called after Vin as she left, wondering why Vin bothered to help. The crew paid later for Kliss's silence about House Renoux.{{book ref|mb1|32}}
