Ivan. Have you seen this?

[ look, ivan, miles is doing his job. why don't you do yours? ]

Good. [How can text be this smug?] You shouldn't.

( ivan doesn't know. emperor powers? )

Please tell me they spent some time in ImpSec getting acquainted with the building.

Certainly not. I don't need Simon to solve all my problems.

See, now I'm even more terrified than I would have been normally. Remind me to never do something that'll piss you off, Greg.

Consider yourself reminded It's more warning than most people get. You know me better than that anyway, Ivan, I wouldn't worry. You're one of the few people who can actually tell if I'm upset.

I've never understood why anyone actually thinks you'd look different when you're angry. That would be less terrifying.

And yet, you can always identify when it's happening, despite my carefully cultivated lack of direct indicators. I don't think anybody's better at it besides Aunt Cordelia.

( oh gregor you always know what to say )

I think this is the first time in my life someone's implied that I'm better than both Miles and Uncle Aral at something.

That, and not commanding every iota of attention in every room you step into. Miles does it on purpose, but I don't think Aral knows how to turn it off. It's a useful skill.
