"What? You don't find my rugged independence the most unspeakably sexy part of my personality?" As ever, he finds his own jokes extremely funny. Fitz does have a self-sufficient streak, and an independent one, but he's more likely to pretend that doesn't than to hold them up as positives. "Anyway, I was just wondering if you've thought more about what you'll do as 'work' in your brave new world?" He'd rather listen to her than think about any of the stuff he doesn't want to talk about.
Taura just shakes her head at him, not really surprised by that response.
But she did say she wouldn't force him to talk about his feelings, and she
acquiesces to the change of subject. "Odd missions, probably. Rescues,
supply runs, that sort of thing."
"How do you sort of people get alerted to that stuff? Is there space bulletin boards with job opportunities?" He doesn't want to talk about his feelings, but he also does find this stuff genuinely interesting.
"I'll have to learn the systems when I go there, but back home, pretty
much. We put in bids for jobs when there were calls out for mercenaries.
We also had enough of a reputation that sometimes jobs sought us out rather
than the other way around."
Reputation, plus missions coming specially from Barrayar.
"I figure some of my jobs will come from Jedao and Fives, since I want to
help them even if I'm not fighting in the army proper."
