So I was re-reading Mistborn Arc 1, and I found something strange. Maybe it's just that I haven't noticed/realised why it's perfectly valid, so humor me please!
When someone burns Tin, their physical senses are enhanced - they can see clearer, hear lower volumes, etc.
Within a Coppercloud, all usage of Allomancy is hidden - nobody can feel anyone give Allomantic pulses. I assume this doesn't apply to anyone being able to discern conversation within a Coppercloud, right? A Tineye should be able to hear things going on within a Coppercloud.
Spoiler
Throughout the "Hero of Ages", Vin and Elend keep discussing in low voices (one such example is Vin and Elend discussing their plan to sneak Vin into the Fadrex City's cache right before they enter the Canton building for a ball). Obviously Yomen has Tineye hidden listening for such conversations.
How do our main characters get away with some of their plotting?
