“Killing you was the entire reason for my existence. Two years ago I was all primed to do it. I endured all those years of Galen for no other purpose.”

“Take heart,” advised the Countess. “Most people exist for no reason at all.”

There’s really not much to say here except: Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan. An icon.

But yeah, despite how this sounds Mark’s first meeting with his parents is going extremely well. Sure, he might have been cloned and raised with the express purpose of killing them, but where Vorkosigans are concerned that just translates to “surprise bonus family.”

#what I wouldn't give to see Cordelia's dispatch home to her mother and brother and such after BiA#'so it turns out one of Aral's political enemies cloned Miles when he was six for a nefarious plot'#'Miles gave Mark a credit chit for half a million marks so he can have some teenage independence so I haven't met him yet sadly'#'if he introduces himself to you please let him know he's welcome on Barrayar whenever he feels comfortable'#'or we could come visit if he'd prefer. Aral can make the time for a vacation by now surely.'#'and if he's not comfortable with that then he can of course stay with you as long as he'd like and we won't push' via @regallibellbright

obligatory "how dare you hide this in the tags" - what I wouldn't give to see Cordelia's POV of BiA and Mirror Dance (and Miles's visit with Elli in between).
