    Summary

    As a child, William Laurence dreamed of a daemon that could swim effortlessly across the sea as an otter or shark or dolphin. In time, he learns that reality so rarely matches ones expectations or fantasies.

    Then they harness a fledgling dragonet, and Temeraire reminds them of that lesson once again.

    Summary

    It all started because Laurence had come into the sitting room when Granby was visiting Tharkay’s estate, mildly cross and holding Tharkay’s greatcoat, which was rumpled from lying in a damp heap in the entryway for two whole days before Laurence noticed it. He had entered the room while shaking it out and folding it, as such a fine piece of clothing deserved, and saying something chiding, along the lines of, “Tenzing, did you never learn you must care for your things if you wish for them to last--?”

    “Ah,” Tharkay said, slouching in his practiced way and tilting his sly smile at Granby, “here’s the missus.”

    Summary

    When ART finally confirmed the PA credentials and cycled the lock, I was waiting in the foyer. I'd disabled my human behavioral code, so I didn't twitch when the whole group of humans all stopped in their tracks to stare at me.

    I said, "You have boarded the Perihelion, registered teaching vessel of the Pansystem University of Mihira and New Tideland. Please state your business."

    In my feed, ART whispered, You sound like a shuttle attendant.

    I sound like a SecUnit.

    -

    During a cargo run, ART is subjected to a random security sweep. Murderbot falls back into its old routine of supervising annoying humans.
