[Stark really isn't sure why she's coming to him about this either. Why not just go directly to Kelsier and tell him? It seems more like something Vin would do anyway.]

[If it was anybody else except Kelsier.]

[Stark sighs.]

Well, I can't exactly make Jesus go away, Vin. Or Christmas for that matter. The most I can suggest is either focus on the fat guy with the suit or shut it out of your mind. With alcohol if that helps.

[See? Not good at this. But he is trying.]

I mean, there's more to Christmas than Jesus anyway. All that goodwill bullshit and giving each other presents. It kinda stole from Thanksgiving with that whole be grateful for shit thing, too.
