( he didn't even notice the missing arm, and gives a low impressed whistle at the tech involved to make him miss it. )
Yeah? Sounds like Miles.
( it must have been sometime after ivan and gregor left, before miles met his particularly gruesome end. but then she mentions the family resemblance, and he grins at both the comment and her appraisal. oh yes, feel free to look. )
Our grandmothers were sisters. ( but he can fill in the rest. ) Teratogenic damage made Miles like he is, it's not genetic. He likes to say that he should look like me, but between us? There's not a chance, what with his parents looking like they do.
( ivan loves his family, he does. but aral vorkosigan is 5'10" and a face that no one would describe as attractive, and his aunt is no knockout. if miles should be blaming anyone for the hand genetics would have dealt him, it should be olivia vorbarra for marrying piotr vorkosigan and ruining the gene pool for him. )
