[ private to anya ]

I think I need help.

[ private to kelsier ]

I want to ask you to keep Vin away from me, but I don't trust you to put my safety over her comfort.

[ Bald and honest. He cares about Kelsier, and Marsh, and it is unbelievably painful to understand that he would be betrayed. ]

[ private to iris ]

You've been killed before. By people here.

[ private to morgana ]

How did you die?

[ a couple days later, private to Cassel ]

I'm sorry I've been so afraid.

I know that. But that isn't the point, Zane. Even when you're actively avoiding someone here, you can still run into them, and I want to develop a plan to fall back on if your paths do cross.

I walked away this time.

[wedonot]

I know, and I'm exceptionally pleased that you did. [Seriously, he's beyond relieved and maybe a little proud.] But I still think it's in your best interests to have a safety net to fall back on in case things get out of hand.

[ He takes a long breath. ]
