"Well," he lies desperately, "I am very drunk. So I honestly could not say."
3024. Yes. Certainly. Of course. So...who does he know who would play this trick? Kidnap him, drug him, leave him in the mountains with a lot of Occupation reenactors? Richars? No, too clever, too without malice. Dono? Sufficiently clever for the Count, but too malicious - and too much work. He had actual governing to attend to. Ivan...? Hah. Vorfalkonner didn't have the resources, nor any others of By's usual raucous set - Vorgalantis, maybe...?
It...was an elaborate prank, though. Very exceedingly elaborate. And dear word but this young lady did look the spitting image of Countess Olivia Vorbarra Vorkosigan.
"So...Emperor Dorca. Is Emperor still? I haven't had news of late. The Cetagandans haven't caught him yet." He takes care to make his voice a bit ironic. If this is a prank, he does want to seem in on the joke. If. It is a prank.
