How is it that you actually retained anything of combat training, then?

Pulled at the last second. Listen, do you do this often to your patient when it's personal?

Punch them, or check in with them? To the former: no. This is a first. To the latter- yes.

Is it going to be a habit? The punching.

No. It won't happen again.

...I've never had a physician who started out as a friend before. You're sure it's not going to be a problem.

You have my word as a LeBlanc. I'll not strike you again, no matter the circumstances.

Then I'm satisfied. And I'll continue to require your services as a physician. [A pause. That sounded so Emperorish. But how else do you do business?]

[She snorts a faint laugh.] Well said. I'll continue my research for you and let you know what I find that might suit you better.

Thank you.

...I'm sorry.

Don't be. It was your birthday and you wanted to enjoy yourself, as was your right. It's done.

I have a couple of bottles of wine still. In the fridge. Maybe Ivan'll want them.

I wouldn't know, to be honest. But I've never known someone to turn down wine.

It's...probably for the best. Usually I just get morose when I'm drunk. The party was an exception.

Company and a secure environment tend to make it easier for one to enjoy themselves when they normally would not.

My normal birthdays involve much more standing up.

This was your first on your own, celebrated as a man your age.

...

Did you open my gift?

I did. It's perfect.

Good. It'll make riding in the fall and winter more comfortable for you.

It fits, too. Good eye for Barrayaran fashion.

I just took what you tended to wear normally and extrapolated from there.

Good call. Very good call.

Perhaps when we have time you could...teach me to ride? I never was much of an equestrian.

Of course. It's only fair. And the more people there are who know how to ride, the easier it will be to get around this place.

Better transportation will make it simpler for those that wold work on the farm to get there in a timely fashion- it really is a productive project you've created here. Watching it come to fruition must be gratifying.
