    Summary

    Jaster has to admit that he has been pleasantly surprised by how the latest complicated political maneuver is turning out. He was not happy about letting one of his sons enter an arranged marriage – because they are his sons, for all that their origin is baffling and there are so, so many of them – but he made a very logical, reasonable case for it and was determined to help and. Well. Those are exactly the qualities that the next generation will need.

    Kote has been married three months now and it seems to be going well. He is managing. He doesn't even complain privately about his wife the way Jaster thought he might.

    The clones are not from this world. Jaster knows this. They know it. They don't remember anything concrete, no people, no places. They just have impressions and feelings and impulses they can't follow up on because they don't know where to start. Kote told him in that conversation that he knew he loved someone dearly in that last life but that he's already come to terms with the fact that he will most likely never find them, so he is the best choice for a political marriage where emotions are not expected to be included.
