A thing that Piotr does respect about Xav, as a man, not just as his father-in-law or his Prince. Significant, considering there's very little that he and Xav agree on politically. Piotr vents out a slow sigh, stirring a precious bit of maple syrup into his groats. It makes them marginally less bland.
"Early on in the war, Olivia and Sonia were both sent to my district -- for their safety, as the capital was in utter chaos at the time, and Emperor Dorca wanted no harm to come to his only granddaughters. Initially, Prince Xav hoped to get them both off-planet, back to Beta Colony with their mother and brother, but it quickly became too dangerous to even make the attempt."
Not that Olivia would leave now, of course. Though Piotr wouldn't entirely mind if Xav spirited Sonia away.
