The Ghostblood compound outside Elendel was full of muted tones and shadows, designed more for secrecy than comfort. Mraize ushered Leareth into a side room as a small figure in a dark cloak entered, pulling back their hood to reveal Kelsier's distinctive grin.

"Well, well, if it isn't the Returned himself!" Kelsier smirked. "What brings you all the way from Hallandren?" His eyes gleamed with interest at the prospect of new weapons--and new chaos to sow.

Leareth kept his expression neutral. Dealing withforces of entropy like Kelsier always made him uneasy, but for now their goals aligned. "My people have developed some devices that may interest you," he said smoothly. Kelsier gestured for him to continue, and Mraize leaned forward with poorly concealed avarice. Leareth allowed himself a small inward sigh. This was going to be a long meeting.
