I confess I have... contemplated the issue of Miles' retirement from the Dendarii on more than one occasion, in an attempt to concoct a solution that does not first, bring him back home to us in a box, or second, completely break his heart. I continue to come up blank. [His eyes drag up to fix on Bel again, sad and abstracted and thoughtful.]
We need him too, Bel. Some of the reasons we need him are exactly the same as yours and some are different, and I am not entirely sure how his tenure as an ImpSec covert ops agent will end, but I sympathize with you immensely.
And I'm glad. That you know. About Miles and about me, about all of it, now. We don't know him in quite the same way you do, but I'm glad he has us both.
