The scene where Vin looks at the gate and sees the people being mistreated is another example of a scene I added in during the rewrite to reinforce how difficult life is for the skaa. Moshe wanted a few of these sprinkled thorough the book so that we don’t forget.
After that, the scene with Ham and Vin discussing pewter is nice, but not one of my favorite of the Allomantic explanation scenes. The thing is, I had to stretch to find things that Ham could tell Vin about this one. She’s really good with the physical metals&mdashshe uses them instinctively—and may even understand them better than Ham does.
I do like how Ham comes across in this scene. His personality, as the one who doesn’t fake or play games in the crew, makes him really work for me as a character.
Then, of course, everything goes wrong. It always does, doesn’t it?
