How could you not have had a family, Miss Tua?

[mismanagement]

I had parents. [She's quiet for a long moment.] But I let them go and that was--that was the end of it. It was required of me.

[tongueamok]

Required of you? By whom, your order?

[mismanagement]

An officer of the Imperial Court must be loyal to the Emperor above all else.

[tongueamok]

Even your own bloodline?

[mismanagement]

Especially one's bloodline.

[tongueamok]

[That sounds... sad, really.]

Do you miss them?

[mismanagement]

Sometimes. [She hesitates.] They died when I was at the Academy. It was a long time ago.

[tongueamok]

Ah. I'm sorry.

Was it your choice to join this court?

[mismanagement]

[Maketh shrugs. Her feelings about that are confused and muddled, and she'd rather not discuss them.] I wanted an education. Joining the Empire was my way to do that. Better an officer than an infantry trooper.

[She'd thought that at the time, anyway.]
