Thirty Days of Drabbles - Day Thirteen

[jeriendhal]

For mmegaera 's promt of, "Pym's point of view on Miles Vorkosigan's courtship of Ekaterin."


"Roic, does Ma Kosti have the luncheon ready?" Pym asked sharply.

"Do you even have to ask?" the tall ex-police officer replied, smiling. The smile fell when he saw the look of disapproval on Pym's face.

"Yes, this has to be perfect," he replied. Roic fell in step beside him as they headed towards the entrance hall.

"He's just bringing a date home..." Roic began to say.

"Lord Vorkosigan is quite possibly bringing the next Countess Vorkosigan to meet us, Armsman. We will not spoil this visit in the slightest detail."

"She might not be."

"I hope she is," Pym replied, his tone softening. Roic had never seen Lord Vorkosigan after the end of one of his "courier missions" after all. Had never seen the small, sickly man broken and put back together so many times. If he breaks after this, Roic, I don't think any doctor in the universe can repair him again.

Many thanks to Taura for saving them from having a really insane Miles on their hands
