private - vin.

I was kinda hoping to have a cake ready or something, but it's kinda short notice. So think maybe you could settle for an apple fritter at Donut Universe some time on me?

video.

Hey kids, just a small head's up you aren't going to have the pleasure of my radiant company anymore. I would stick around, but I've got enough messes on my plate back home to deal with that I'm not adding this hellhole to my list.

If any of you end up in the L.A. area, look me up.

. . . What's an apple fritter?

[she's not crying yOU'RE CRYING]

[Vin, don't fucking cry. Christ. He's gonna have to hug you if you keep that up and you KNOW HOW HE FEELS ABOUT HUGS.]

The best damn thing you'll ever eat.

Is it sweet? Kelsier likes sweet things.

[She's crying. She is. Just a little.]

Not only is it sweet, it's completely bad for you. Which just makes it taste better, if you ask me.

[His grin fades a little.]

All joking aside, I'm serious, Vin. My roommate is obnoxious, the place is kinda a perpetual mess, and there's more alcohol than food in the fridge, but there's always a place for you in L.A. If you ever want it.

. . . Okay.

I don't think I'd know what to do there. And Elend wouldn't be there. But okay.

I'm glad you're leaving, Stark, but I wish you weren't leaving.

Hey c'mon. It's bad enough you're crying, don't start talking like that.

You got Clifford and Necronenslaver to keep you company. And if you get really lonely and bored, you got that na'at to get into a fight with. I'm telling you, with all that? You won't even miss me.

In fact, you'll be more relieved than anything. Give it a day or two and you'll notice how few headaches you get.

I'm not crying. [LEAVE HER ALONE.]

Who should I get into a fight with first? Who are you going to get into a fight with first?

Don't ask me. I'm not going to be held responsible for your random acts of violence, Vincesca. [He's about to answer her second question, but hesitates and then thinks better of it.] I was going to say I was actually going to try and avoid violence, but who am I kidding? Every time I even think of trying to do that, someone ends up with their face bashed in and feelings get hurt.

I'll just make a promise that I won't take the first swing, but I'll definitely take the last one.

You should at least give me a suggestion!

At least you know yourself. [p a u s e, then, with a conspiratorial air:] Jimothy.

[Yes excellent nickname A+.]

[Vin is the only person on this Barge, possibly in all of the multiverse, that can ever render Stark speechless as she does right now.]

Jimothy?

Congratulations!

I'd send more of those congratulations to Vin.

I intend to congratulate you both.
