Yes, and 25 is about 'Ooops, I'm meant to be an adult now? Oh, help...'
I think it's interesting the change in Gregor between Vor Game and Mirror Dance. Miles says that when VG!Gregor is't being Emperor, he 'hardly seems anyone at all'. By the time of MD, the Emperor persona has far more blood in it—and intelligence and compassion—than in VG, and the bits that you can see of Gregor behind it are much stronger too. So Gregor/Emperor seem to feed off each other, instead of competing like Lord Vorkosigan/Admiral Naismith. Hmm. Perhaps Mark isn't the only person who can identify with Miles' two personalities. I wonder how what Gregor does with 'the Emperor' affects his opinion on Admiral Naismith?
