[Vin has approximately zero idea what she's doing - and it shows. The recording starts with her eyeball pressed up against the camera, and a voice, muffled by her face pressed against the microphone, insisting that this is not how it's done. Jerking back, she stares blankly at the screen for a few seconds, moving side to side, tracking her own appearance in the playback software. She turns to the side.]
Are you sure this is right?
[She is assured that, yes, this is right, and she ought to pay attention to what she's doing instead of talking to him. Scowling slightly at Henry, Vin turns back to the screen.]
Hello. [An awkward pause where a nice, normal greeting should go. Something like "it's nice to meet you." Vin is very bad at being people.] I was wondering if-- you're sure this is working? [A huff. She turns back.]
Is anyone here familiar with metallurgy? I can pay for your time. And provide materials.

[A shrug and a sigh. She looks away for a moment, still not entirely okay with sharing her abilities.]
I'm an Allomancer. We burn metals to use our skills.

[No, seriously, that's it. But he's looking at her curiously.]
I'm afraid I've never heard of that before. What does an allomancer do?
[video]
I suppose that's a fair price...
Allomancers burn metals, and it gives us different abilities. Tineyes burn tin to enhance their senses. Pewterarms burn pewtern to make themselves stronger.
Re: [video]
We'll have to talk more about that over that drink. I'm in room 701, and I'll be there till the bars open.
Re: [video]
I will stop by, then.
