Summary
Mahit considers the loss of water; wonders whether or how it might be successfully reclaimed on the Station, and how much extra water ice would have to be mined per capita should said reclamation prove difficult, and when her every thought will stop wandering toward hypotheticals set on Lsel, and whether, on that day—the day that the half-conscious part of her which wonders idly will finally accept that the Station is not her home any longer, to whatever extent that it ever was—she will mourn, or celebrate.
Both, Yskandr murmurs, wry and tired. How could it not be both?

Summary
“Does it make it better or worse, do you think,” Mahit says. “My having been drunk when I snuck up on the Imperial heir in a private garden, uninvited, shortly after the politically motivated murder of my predecessor?”
Three Seagrass considers this for a moment. “Better, I think,” she says, finally. “Always makes for a better story, at least.”
Mahit hmms. “Always?”
“Well, I oughtn’t to have said that, only half my best stories involve me getting smashed, but the ones that do are quite good. Have I ever told you about the time I picked a whole semester’s worth of classes drunk at four in the morning?”
(Three Seagrass and Mahit spend their final night together aboard Weight for the Wheel between recollections and promises for the future.)

Summary
“Yaotlek Nine Hibiscus,” says Twenty Cicada, and it’s so like him, saying it, that Nine Hibiscus wishes her third comms officer hadn’t just dragged the nearest trash bin over to his own chair; but she won’t rush over and snatch it back from him, and she won’t vomit on the floor of her bridge, not in front of all her soldiers and not when the only alien speaking at above a background murmur is her dead best friend.
(A few weeks after the formal cessation of hostilities between what she supposes are now their two respective peoples, Nine Hibiscus and Twenty Cicada arrange an exchange, of sorts.)

Where Mahit has problems buying coffee, Three Seagrass lays on a fabulous picnic and they tackle their long-distance relationship problems under the watchful eye of The City.

Summary
Three Seagrass has the genetics, temperament and training to achievement many things.
Political Intrigue, Information Gathering, Service and the occasional Poetry Contests, are chief amongst them.
There is no frame of reference for falling in love, or something akin to it, with the ambassador to a minor but geographically significant station.
Three Seagrass does the best she can to cope the new situation.
Mahit Dzmare is never dull even when she is so far away. -
