Summary:

Ekaterin did a double-take. It was the same voice, and the same small-scale form, as that of her erstwhile supposed rescuer. But not only the accent was different, broad Betan rather than warm Barrayar. The little man revealed beneath the helmet radiated a crackling corona of manic energy, not at all the same as the quiet, supportive focus she’d felt from him before.

Summary:

Seeing the way the two heads, brown and white-pale, drifted together as the boys sat enjoying one last respite before the coming dark, Merriman knew that Will’s loves were braver, in their way, than his own, and he honored the spirit that paid its homage in spite of fate. That accepting grace was a challenge he had yet to master, his inclination still drifting to bitterness and inexorable grudge. Will hated not, but loved, and cared, and tried, and went on. In that, there was much he could learn from the young Old One who had once been his pupil, and Merriman was not too stiff-necked to deny the lesson.
