I don't really understand this treatment of Roic. He wasn't portrayed badly in his last appearance, and the snafu with the Escobarran investigators was far too silly for me to take seriously. Odd to see it being taken seriously in-world. Unless it turns out to be just Roic projecting his own insecurities, but I'm not sure I see that.

It's not like I don't like Roic. He's a fine point of view character. But I feel like LMB is leaning into her habit of having the most interesting events happening just off-screen, to be explained later. And I've never liked that about these books.

Wow, digging deep for callback characters. I appreciate that. Haven't seen Arde in like ten books. I thought there was a reason Baz doesn't come to Barrayar? I couple notable missing parties. Maybe Elli and Bel are on a later flight.
