"Oh--yeah." Oops. She spoke to Miles once, at the very start of things, and not much since. Forgetting about that conversation was easy enough; she keeps busy here, and when her thoughts drift, they go to friends rather than acquaintances.

And then Daryl asks her a question so obvious that she can't help but give him a skeptical look in return. "What else were we going to talk about? I don't know anything about Barrayar, and nothing about home makes sense without the walkers. Nothing about us does."

Without the end of the world, she's just a high school dropout orphan who lives in the woods half the time.
