"Yeah. Sure I do. What does 'surrendering' a conversation have to do with that?"

“If you aren’t talking, you aren’t convincing,” Kelsier said idly, continuing to read. “You had me interested before, which was good for you. Now I’d rather read my book.”

“So... nothing on the whole ‘I know when to surrender’ thing?”

Kelsier smirked. “You know my history. Do I ever know when to surrender?

"What are we talking about?" Faith asked.

"Science. I was writing stuff in my notebook, and they were asking about it."

Hoblim looks up from the book after finishing storing the relevant portions of the book.

"Reading? Pastime? Well, I guess it can be. But I think I count reading as a hobby. Maybe it's not exactly active, but it can get a little active with theorizers."

He stops talking for a moment.

"Not that I'm one, but still."

"I guess. But with a hobby you're making something, like a scarf or a journal or sculpture. But reading you just read, and I think theorizing is a hobby separate from the pastime."

She snorted. "I'm not so sure..."

"Agreed." She said, turning back to her notes. "Would either of you know the chemical formula of ortho diethynylbenzene dianion by any chance? I can't for the life of me remember what it is... Bases aren't my strong suit. I tend to forget them."

 

"I have no idea. The deepest I've gotten into this sort of thing is Theodore Brown's Molecule book. Uh... a benzene sounds like a carbon ring? Maybe?"

"I guess we'll just agree to disagree then."

"I think you're right there, but that doesn't give me the formula..." She sighed. "Ortho diethynylbenzene dianion is a superbase. It's actually one of the strongest superbases there is."

Adrienne let out a puff of breath, then sat up. "We're here."

Kelsier smiled and the train came to a stop. “Weathering,” he mused. “Of course.”

"What?"

Kelsier chuckled softly. “Weathering belonged to Dawnshot,” he explained. “Narrative causality would dictate that our mystery man be here.”

"Yeah, like... nine years ago."

“So? Trésor’s sister hadn’t read Warbreaker in nearly a decade and still remembered what Warbreaker did to the priest’s daughter. Length of time has very little to do with remembering things you love.”

"Mistborn wasn't my favorite series."

“And Warbreaker wasn’t her favorite book.”

I’m not actually making this up... Trésor is an arcanist for a reason. I do remember weird minor details from the books.

"So? Some people remember weird stuff. So I repeat my question: who's Dawnshot?"

Kelsier shook his head slightly. “Guess.”

Kelsier is annoyed that you didn’t catch the Pratchett reference...
