Alright, I'll see what I can do.
Code:
One, long ago, Marsh had tried to train her
in the fine art of using bronze to read
Allomantic pulses. She hadn't realized at the
time just how large a task he'd begun.
When an Allomancer burned a metal,
they gave off an invisible, drumlike beat that
only another Allomancer burning bronze
could sense. The rhythm of these pulses--
how quickly the beats came, the way they
"sounded"--told exactly what metal was
being burned.
It took practice, and was difficult, but
Vin was getting better at reading the pulses.
She focused. Breeze was burning brass--
the internal, mental Pushing metal. And . . .
Vin focused harder. She could feel a
pattern washing over her, a double dum-dum
beat with each pulse. They felt oriented to
her right. The pulses were washing against
something else, something that was sucking
them in.
This is the amount of text that can be displayed on one Kobo screen on the medium font. Each line is also justified.
Code:
Elend. Breeze was focused on Elend.
Not surprising, considering the current
discussion. Breeze was always Pushing on
the people he interacted with.
Satisfied, Vin sat back. But then she
paused. Marsh implied there was much
more to bronze than many people thought. I
wonder. . ..
She squeezed her eyes shut--
ignoring the fact that any of the others who
saw her would think her actions strange--
and focused again on the Allomantic pulses.
She flared the bronze, concentrating so hard
she felt she'd give herself a headache. There
was a. . .vibration to the pulses. But what
that could mean, she wasn't certain.
Focus! she told herself. However, the
pulses stubbornly refused to yield any further
information.
Fine, she thought. I'll cheat. She
turned off her tin--she almost always had it

Fine, she thought. I'll cheat. She turned off her tin--she
almost always had it on a little bit--then reached inside and
burned the fourteenth metal. Duralumin.
The Allomantic pulses became so loud. . .so
powerful. . .she swore she could feel their vibrations shaking her
apart. They pounded like beats from a massive drum set right
beside her. But she got something from them.
Anxiety, nervousness, worry, insecurity, anxiety,
nervousness, worry--
It was gone, her bronze expended in one massive flar of
power. Vin opened her eyes; no one in the room was looking at
her except OreSeur.
She felt drained. The headache she'd predicted before
now came in full force, thudding inside her head like the tiny
brother of the drum she'd now banished. However, she held to
