[ text message to ivan & gregor before miles gets in the transporter. he sends it at literally the last moment because he very nearly forgot. at least he didn't actually forget. ]

Ivan & Gregor - I'm joining the excursion to go down planet-side. Don't worry, I shouldn't be gone too long. I'll keep in touch.

[ the likelihood he'll actually be diligent about answering messages while he's engaged in something interesting is pretty low but hey, at least he let you guys know! ]

What.

This isn't funny, Miles, you can't just walk off and leave me alone with Gregor.

Seriously, Miles.

Are you even getting these?

You're ImpSec. I'm not qualified! I don't want to be qualified!

Right about now is where normal people would say 'I can't believe you'.

Normal people don't have Miles Naismith Vorkosigan as a cousin.

So I don't have any difficultly believing that this is actually happening to me.

You owe me, coz.

If you're just going to talk to yourself, can you do it in a text file instead of sending me eight different text messages?

Sorry, ten.

I said I'd be in touch, not that I'd be hanging on every text to respond immediately!

Are you seriously trying to give me a lesson on talking to myself? You. Miles Vorkosigan.

You also said you're leaving me. With the

Gregor. You're leaving me with Gregor.

Yes, and? He's not an infant, Ivan, it's not like you have to feed him or change him.

Like I know how. He's probably the only one with personal experience for that sort of thing, from when you were a baby.

Miles, for God's sake, will you please be careful?

I'm with Captain Thán. I'll be fine.

I'm touched by your concern, though.

The Captain of the ship that kidnapped us? Yes, well, I feel much better, thank you. I do worry about you, you know.

I think kidnapped is a strong word -- and anyway, the captains aren't any more in control of the Ingress than we are, let's face it. Besides, I've got a friend down here.

...I know. Look, I didn't tag along on this trip to get into trouble, I promise -- but if we're going to be kidnapped, I might as well get to see the sights. Besides, you spend a week in sanitation and see how stir crazy you get.

I thought that was your specialty. ...but honestly, I know you can handle yourself. That doesn't mean I don't worry. Just permit me my extremely rational and completely explicable neuroses, all right?
