Beta Colony! I knew there was another one I was forgetting. [ he'd heard just a bit about it, too. enough to know that beta colony and barrayar are about as wildly opposite as two places can be. ] So you don't live there now? That is, before you were dragged here. Or do you.. [ he makes a gesture, shooting his hand up through the air. ] .. sail on star-ships, too?

[ he still has a hard time imagining what a ship like that must look like, but he has a vague idea of how it works now, at least. ]

It's amazing, what your people are capable of. [ he turns his cup between his palms. ] Where I'm from, it'd probably seem like another form of magic.
