So, Ivan. If Gregor is an Emperor and Miles is a princess, even though he swears he's not, what's that make you?

[whatdidisay]

Absolutely no one of importance, that's what.

[commontype]

Yeah, alright. I'll believe that when the fucking Queen shows up and asks me to knit her a purple jumper.

[So, never. Come on, Ivan.]

Where'd you think the lord part of my title comes from? I'm no count's heir.

Text; private

[commontype]

I didn't know you was a lord. That sounds kind of important though.

Lord Ivan Xav Vorpatril. Miles is Lord Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, although once Uncle Aral kicks it he'll be Count Vorkosigan. And Gregor's pulling double duty as Count Vorbarra and Emperor Ezar Gregor Vorbarra.

It's not, though. I don't have a seat in the Council of Counts, and if Miles dies and leaves me heir to his Countship, I'll strangle him.

( he is third in line for the entire three planet barrayaran empire. )

All I'm hearing is that you don't think you're important, Miles is, and if he dies, you will be. So that sounds to me like you are important.

[Eggsy doesn't even know what's going on.]

I'm not. Didn't Miles tell you this already?

Text; private

[commontype]

No, Miles wasn't himself last time we talked.

Text; private

[whatdidisay]

( oh no. )

What do you mean, not himself?

( goddamn it, miles )

I think he had some cheesecake, or that ice cream. He was super chill, so probably that.

Text; private

[whatdidisay]

Oh yeah, I slipped him the ice cream. I thought he could use it.

perma private text - 1/2

I bet he was pissed at you after.

Um. Ivan, there's somethin' else we need to talk about.

2/2

I kissed Elizabeth and I wanted to tell you I wasn't tryin' to get in the way of anythin'. Had some cheese cake and she was there, lookin' all nice. Sorry, bruv.

[whatdidisay]

That's really no different than how he is normally. Anyway, it was more weird than I was expecting.

Oh. ( what's he supposed to do with this? it's not like he and elizabeth ever talked about this. ) Er, thanks for telling me? Normally I'm the one apologizing to people about kissing their wife/girlfriend. Not that there's actually an apology involved, just a bunch of male posturing while she clings to them and not me.

[commontype]

I was tellin' ya so that if you was to find out later from someone else, you wouldn't think. That Eggsy guy is a no-good, woman stealin' bastard, yeah? Figured it was easier this way.

[Still awkward, but that's never stopped him before.]

[whatdidisay]

( eggsy why )

Is that something I was supposed to think? The cheesecake made everyone act weird, it's fine, Eggsy.

Just don't go mentioning the Emperor thing around. At all. To anyone.

[commontype]

Why would I? Ain't a snitch.

But you've got my word. I won't tell anyone.

[whatdidisay]

You've officially been hanging around Miles and Gregor too much, Eggsy.

Thanks.
