[ Miles had hovered as close as he dared throughout the interrogation. Not being permitted in - having to rely on Byerly's tender mercies - has driven him nearly mad with guilt and worry. He caused this. He should have known the word of a crazed mutant would be worth absolutely nothing to his granda in the face of a Komarran. Every morning the interrogation goes on, he expects to see Duv's corpse shoved unceremoniously out in the snow.
(He's done whatever he can. Tried to convince Sonia to sneak Duv food - stockpiled some of his own to have ready for him if he's ever set free - )
When he returns to the tent to see Duv resting there, clean and as whole as he's going to get, he rushes over to see him. Utter relief brightening his face like a star. ]
