[So. They haven't left orbit around Komarr. No, Miles wouldn't have done that to Bel, they were sure of that at least.
Winterfair was over tonight. There would be days at most to make a decision. If Miles doesn't return, there's no place for Bel. Quinn will take them, all right. Cordially and without malice, and get them to the next station, but there wouldn't be a job on the Dendarii without that special designation.
So.. it's start over here. Or start over out there.
Bel, lost in thought, doesn't answer immediately, stretching into "at all."]
