Vin and Vanessa are a weird pair and neither one quite seems to know what to make of the other. They get along well enough and trade some stories about life on the streets but mostly keep things distant.

Vanessa is a little surprised that her preincarnated self ended up being a hero to so many, something she definitely doesn't see the potential for in herself. The idea of actually taking down an entire empire seems overwhelming to her, to say nothing of finding a home and a family out of what remained.

Vin is both a little jealous of her reincarnation growing up in a world without the hardships of Scadrial and sad that she grew up without an older brother to look after her, and a mentor like Kelsier. Because as hard as Reen could be, he did make her strong enough to survive. She tries to pass on some hope for the same, but she's pretty bad at it.

Vanessa does take the opportunity to learn more about Allomancy though, and Vin helps her hone her skills in it even further.
