Great, well, nice to know I went from 'happily avoids things and people who are going to get me killed' to roaming around space with a bunch of you. ( his sigh is dramatic and over the top ) Why does this always happen to me?

( back to dishing about his crazy cousin, however. )

Never really thought of it like that. I gotta say, it explains why he can get just about anyone roped into his schemes. He was the worst bully I knew, growing up, except it was never bullying. Just able to talk me and Elena into doing whatever he wanted at the time because it sounded like a great idea. We never minded until he got hurt and we had to explain why we were racing each other down the bannister in Vorkosigan House. ( luckily, aunt cordelia and uncle aral tended to believe them when they said it was miles' idea ) But yeah, he does.

( care, that is )

Seven hundred years couldn't change us completely. Just mostly.

( heyyyyyyy neo-feudalism. )
