[ Miles can't quite identify the exact register of that feeling, but something feels off. Thus he stills rather than teasing further. He's still close, still warm and physical and present, but he keeps his active touching to what Gregor wants to do, for now. He can figure out exactly what's going on later. ]

Well. I for one would be entertained to see the former. [ He says that with good humor. ] But I'll gladly take your pain for a little while if you tell me when you plan to be properly Imperial.

See?

[ She's less aware of Gregor's internal fears, his unhappiness. She keeps smiling, just petting his hand gently - just a touch worried, aware of how injured that hand is, only stroking the unbroken skin. ]

We're here for you. Not such an ordeal when we're here.

[vorbarra]

[ He wishes Miles were less aware, sometimes... Gregor doesn't know himself what he wants right now. It's all too new, too raw, such a muddle still.

It's simplest to lay here and accept the petting and let the drugs push away any complications to that. It's nice with him unable to fret about it; soothing, honestly. He can't help the guilty, selfish pang of relief at Miles's offer. ] I have to speak to Captain Galeni-- I have to get your brother back, Miles, [ he explains. ] You're welcome to stay for it, Kitty. As a mouse or something. I'd... rather not be alone either.

[ His brother ... Miles wants very much to see him safe and sound, yes. Hermann brought him to the hospital, this much Miles knows, but the only thing the nurses had been able to tell him afterwards was that he'd run to god knows where. Not exactly comforting.

He swallows a bit, carefully quieting his own worry on that subject. If anyone can convince Mark, Gregor can. ]

I could stay as well. [ He offers quietly, though there's a part of him desperate to check in on his father again. He glances over at Kitty - if she wants some alone time with Gregor, well ... That changes things too. ] We've gotten good at avoiding nurses shooing us out by now.

[vorbarra]

... Visiting hours? I hadn't thought of that.

[ This provokes a rather humorous mental image, but Gregor only looks at Miles soberly, attuned to his mental nuance as ever. ] I'll rest better if I know you're checking up on everything and it's all sorted. Otherwise I'll feel compelled to ask everyone for sit reps, and they don't need me disturbing them.

[ This is half truth and half maneuvering to get Miles, who is prone to getting restless, out of Gregor's hospital room at times. And out of the room for his conversation with Duv. Kitty's not Barrayaran so her covert listening seems alright, somehow; but Miles had been Galeni's subordinate once upon a time. Gregor's not about to take him to task in front of him. He's learned that much. ]

[ Miles hesitates, temporarily caught between wanting to stay with Gregor and needing to get up for a while. The latter wins out, barely. ]

All right, all right. I'll make the rounds.
