I like this very much. You showed Duv and Mark each shining in his own expertise (one of the things I like about each of them), and gradually getting comfortable with the {sometimes overwhelming} Vorkosigan/Koudelka part of Barrayar. Their progression from enemies to suspicion to cautious allies and future friends is a wonderful thing to reflect on at Winterfair. Thank you for writing and sharing. [KBooklover]
