[ OK, GETTIN TO WORK CLEANING ]


What the hell are those things-

[komarran]

[ He stands back with his hands resting behind his back. Is that what Mark really thinks? Yet the man was still here and he knows what he heard earlier was no mistake. ]

Why have you started calling yourself Mark? Instead of Peter?

[komarran]

[ He nods. Nothing is out of place and it's more-or-less the full story. If they want to be rid of him now's their chance. ]

Yes, sire.

[keep_nothing]

You'd have to be blind to miss how worried you were. [ A beat. ] Well, no, even Roy saw it.

[ But she joins him, sitting on the lower corner of the bed carefully. ]

[jacksonian]

[ He looks down and gives a miserable little shrug. ]

I guess it's my name, right? That's...what Miles told me.

[ A beat. A little defensively: ]

I didn't think I was going to make it through...that. I don't have to use it if it offends them.

[dendarii]

[ He leans his head lightly against her shoulder, grateful for her presence. While he's much better than he was twenty-four hours ago, he's still too pale and drawn to be healthy. In need of a shower too. ]

Even Roy? I really am losing my touch.

[heart_wrenching]

Why are we in a swamp why are we in a swamp why are we in a swamp WHY ARE WE IN A SWAMP????

[keep_nothing]

No, you're just obvious.

[ ... She sniffs. ] And obviously in need of cleaning. C'mon, you should shower.

[komarran]

No, I believe it's yours if you want it. [ Big emphasis on 'if.' He saw how Miles was back on Earth, eager to cram Mark into the fold that was 'Vorkosigan.'

It's not something that has to happen here, if the other man truly doesn't wish it. He studies Mark carefully as he asks, ]

Do you?

[dendarii]

[ He makes a face. ]

I can't in these casts. Or - well, they gave me these covers, but I hate them. Barbarism ...

[jacksonian]

[ He looks up, uncertain. ]

I'm...Aren't they going to kill me? Isn't that why you're here?

[fullmetalbrat]

Why the hell do you think any of us know!

[komarran]

I had a similar concern when they learned I knew more about you than it seemed. [ A dry and bleak remark, he's still not certain that Aral Vorkosigan will let him walk away from this.

But Mark... ]

No, they asked me to escort you back. They want to speak with you.

[heart_wrenching]

Ed. Get out of this water it's so dirty.

[jacksonian]

[ Bleakly: ]

Of course. No fast-penta here, so I guess it'll be normal torture.

[komarran]

[ His tone can't get anymore flat, ]

No, I'm afraid far worse. [ There's the slightest of pauses before he continues, ] I got the impression they intend to have a family reunion.

[fullmetalbrat]

I'm keeping my arm out of it!

[jacksonian]

[ He looks up, his face alarmed. ]

Family - ? With...me?

[komarran]

[ He simply nods. That's a matter Duv cannot help Mark with. ]

Would you like to stop to eat on the way? [ he asks as he motions towards the door. ]

[heart_wrenching]

More out!

[fullmetalbrat]

How do I get more out?!

[jacksonian]

[ For once in his life, he shakes his head. He feels sick. Painfully sick. (Plus, he's gorged himself already that day; his kitchen is littered with multiple pizza boxes. ]

No. It's probably better to get it done with.

[ Torture, he could face. Execution he could face. A family reunion...That makes him feel tight-chested with fear. ]

It's...It'll get you out of trouble. Right?

[keep_nothing]

[ She huffs through her nose. ]

Then sponge bathes are right out for you too, huh.

[heart_wrenching]

More out.

[komarran]

I'm already out of the thick of it. [ Or so he assumes. At least he's used to working twice as hard to prove his loyalty already.

And now that Duv is certain Mark was threatened into this, he can say with certainty, ]

I wouldn't be asking you back if I thought they meant you harm.
