Twin brother? Peter? I would have guessed clone. ( what with the 'deal' and all. it didn't lead her to think he was a twin. wait, hang on-- ) So he is from the Nexus after all!

( and onto the important part: )

I could have recommended you to a good hostage negotiator, once. Is, um-- is he alright?

( how do you inquire after the health of an emperor, anyway? anyway, tej thinks miles is one of the few who'd know the best, considering how he smells. )

[dendarii]

[ Miles just grins a bit in return. ]

I'm surprised he's not here too.

[keep_nothing]

But the question would be if he was from our time or your time.

[dendarii]

... That ... is an excellent question. He could even be from Tej's time, potentially.

[komarran]

[ Lady Vorkosigan manages to catch his hand for a second before he pulls away. As nice as the gesture is, he's eager to leave. ]

You're welcome, sir, Lady--Cordelia. Now if you'll excuse me. [ A fact he will happily demonstrate as he turns to leave. ]

[fullmetalbrat]

[He starts to lift his injured arm to wave the concern off but, one sharp grimace later, thinks better of doing so.]

It's really fine. Winry took care of it already.

[failureisntachoice]

[ ...Is he about to play patty cake with the ground? She's already seen Hawke's trick and her attention is now fixed on whatever the hell Roy is about to do. ]

Yeah, go for it.

[use_everything]

[He lets go of it, but still attempts to protest..] I wasn't trying.

I've no want of nurses for the next however long these cups last.

[heart_wrenching]

[ Rubbin at her eyes, c'mon awaaaake. ]

It's pretty likable.

[sidecars]

Well we were gonna go get some fresh air. bein' cooped up in a hospital bed all day ain't doin' the constitution too good. We'll just make a lap, get a few numbers from the nurses...

[ That's all obv. ]

It's okay you can let us take some time out of here.

[ By the way he emphasizes his last words, Bucky's trying a bit of coercion on this sloth... girl thing. ]

[use_everything]

[He makes no motion to stop the fleeing Komarran officer. Just fixes his wife with a look, raised eyebrows.]

Now, I believe I can get unhooked from all of this mess.

[use_everything]

... I'm not sure what kind of challenge you took that for, but remember it for later.

[ghemnotgem]

It doesn't look like a sonic grenade attack...

( magic???? what's that. )

[dendarii]

[ Sorry, Bucky. At this point Miles is getting his entertainment just watching the two of them. ]

[failureisntachoice]

They're pieces of shit. [ Yeah, she has no love for the 21st century's version of medical technology. Thankfully she doesn't need it. She glances down at the shifting. ] You going to be fine walking inside?

[use_everything]

[He might, in fact, have felt a bit sorry for the poor kid, providing he was actually in there hiding at the moment. But he just woke up, wasn't feeling worth shit, and frankly, can't remember if Ed HAD classified Winry as a threat or not.]

I seem to be managing.

[failureisntachoice]

[ She shakes her head. ] ...Yeah, I really don't want to know.

[rathercommon]

[ The sloth-girl-thing crosses her long, long arms across her chest. And she says, dryly: ]

Ooh, yes, sir, after you, sir.

[ Then, with a wave of her claws: ]

Dream on, buster. Powers don't work on me.

[dendarii]

Of course not. Just like I definitely don't know about its alarm properties due to experience.

[ He offers one of the plastic cups to Aral, then moves to pour a very small amount. He doesn't actually want to be responsible for endangering his father's health here. ]

[komarran]

[ That would have been so much simpler. ]

If only. That would have been easier to deal with. I wasn't there for the initial attack, but it sounds as if some misunderstanding occurred and someone took their aggression out on the front of the building.

[dendarii]

Extremely likeable. Do you enjoy using it?

[dendarii]

[ Miles follows that gesture with his eyes. ]

Still sore, though?

[keep_nothing]

[ She just rolls her eyes at them both. ]

[dendarii]

[ Miles winces a bit at the term. ]

Brother, please. Clone implies some things about his personhood that I refuse to consider.

[ Though, she is Jacksonian, isn't she? Maybe she actually does have the proper nuance here. ]

... He's recovering. Physically I think he'll be fine.

[keep_nothing]

Does he still have that chip in his head in your time?
