Putting this up a bit late today; sorry to keep anyone waiting!

How have chapters 7 and 8 been treating you? Any new observations, theories, sore points, fabulous quotations?

I kind of had the feeling of a little kid commenting on someone's disability when the kid ran up to Bren - it's hard to know just how young the kid was, since atevi are bigger, and how much it was "pointing out something adults pretend not to notice" (my reading of what "indiscreet" means in the definition for inshiebi) or how much it was deliberate.

I kind of thought it was adorable. :D But then, I'm also a fan of Miles Vorkosigan, and I started remembering Ekaterin's concern over how her stepson was almost as tall as Miles... Hee!

Spoilerish comments regarding atevi height.
