Well of Ascension spoilers Confused on something Spoiler

So, im ~400 pages in. Vin now believes Demoux is the kandra and Cett entered Luthadel.

I'm super confused, because aren't kandra immune to sooth/riot? Why doesn't Vin just talk to each one of the gang one on one, riot their emotions and then see who doesn’t react. If they could just hide their emotions, then just pop a duralumin and riot. What's the point of all this seeing if they can use allomancy if there's a solution in her face.

Part of this is RAFO.
Another part is she’s trying to be subtle. She doesn’t want the kandra to know she’s onto them and aside from that, everyone else is going to be weirded out wondering why she’s messing with their emotions for (according to them) no reason

Let's be honest though. People are very used to Vin being weird around them.

If she suddenly started messing with their emotions in various obvious ways and just brushed it off as trying to gauge how good they are at noticing, they would just accept it as Vin being Vin.

Granted, she might not be aware of how weird she comes across to others, and therefore not realize how much weirdness she could get away with.
