Infanticide

“Did I ever tell you,” says Miles, “about Raina?” Mother and son discuss escape, loyalty, feeding your children to the cannibal planet Barrayar, and other heritable duties.

hello. i have read so many books this month and it's all @cicelythereaper's fault. here's a missing scene set at the end of Memory because i can't stop thinking about the barrayaran woman's historical duty of infanticide, and also other things
