[Kel nods firmly]

Then I wish you all the luck, and pray you won't need it.

[And perhaps light a stick of incense to the Goddess in thanks that it isn't her job]

Thank you. ... I. Well. It might be moot, anyway.

[ Is talking about his love life appropriate with her? Gregor is always slow and reluctant to bring anyone into his 'inner circle', which is absolutely what you qualify as if he's speaking with you about his personal life. He temporizes with: ] It's been very different here.

[The idea of a marriage and love life being the same is still a radical notion over here]

That's an understatement in many areas.

[ It's not totally radical on Barrayar, but it's fairly radical for the Emperor in particular. Gregor just doesn't care. ]

Yes-- absolutely. But among other things... [ A flicker of hesitation, before he skirts into this topic sideways, testing her receptiveness. ] My personal life is not a matter of public interest.

[Kel grimaces]

Goddess no, it's bad enough when the palace gossips go at it.

[whooooshhhhhh]

[ Oh, Kel. But Gregor can't help but find her obliviousness sort of endearing. He so rarely gets exposed to it, and it's comforting, in a way, this proof that she's so unlikely to have ulterior motives.

With some curiosity: ]
Is that something you've had to deal with yourself? I notice you're on first name basis with the royal family. Both of them.

[Kel ducks her head]

Only by some luck in timing. Roald was two years ahead of me in page training, and Shinko...was a childhood friend. I didn't know she was part of the Emperor's family until she arrived in Tortall.

[Sliding past that question about gossip]

[ Definitely gossiped about. Perhaps not necessarily her love life, though Gregor can imagine what sort of rumors would circulate about one of the first accepted female knights.

But she's successful in diverting his attention with this hint at another tale, and he finds himself smiling. ]
That must have been wonderful for her. To have a friend totally apart from that.

[Kel nods, smiling fondly]

She only kept two of her ladies, wanting to assimilate herself better...but I know it was very hard for her at first.

It's a little fascinating to hear about, [ he confesses. ] I'm the only remotely royal family left in the Nexus, apart from the Cetagandans, who might not count as human.
protects_the_small: (aint Keladry a GIRLS name?)

[personal profile] protects_the_small 2016-05-14 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose that would make it harder to marry into another ruling family.
