Title: Lunchtime Gossip
Rating: G, gen
Summary: Martin Kosti just wants to eat his lunch, and doesn't understand what these strange people want from him.
Author's Notes: So back in ... 2008, I think, there was one prompt at the Bujold ficathon that really sparked inspiration -- The prompt at the time was "Prompt: Martin (from Memory) enlists in the army and says something innocently about his temporary work for Miles. An experienced soldier realizes that Martin must have seen a lot of fascinating things about the whole Illyan\Haroche scandal and tries to get information out of Martin. He has trouble doing so because Martin doesn't know what is so special and why anyone should want to know about his job." I didn't sign up for it because I had so much other stuff I was working on, but I've been working on different drafts of this ever since. I actually had several complete drafts of this written that were totally different, but that I wasn't satisfied with. Year later, though, I've finally come upon a version I like -- or perhaps I'm just sick of it and want to be done!
( 'Have I got a juicy tidbit for you,' a cheery voice said from behind Corporal Fedor Golovin, following a low whistle. )
