( but she's talking to gregor, and gregor's making jokes back. so ivan considers this a success. hell frigging yeah. )
Why wouldn't it be? I grew up with the both of them -- Greg's only four years older than Miles and I -- and it's not like any of us have siblings.
( that's what happens when 1) your dad is so much of a sadist that his own father decided to kill him along with fifty thousand other men to be rid of him for good 2) someone tries to assassinate your father with a poison who's antidote destroys a fetus in utero while your mother was sleeping next to him, and which also conveniently made your father sterile 3) your father was killed on the day of your birth by supporters of a pretender to the office of emperor of barrayar because he just so happened to have a claim to the title and were absolutely gunning for your pregnant mother next.
guess which one belongs to who, wanda! a fun game for the whole family. )
