:D THANK YOU, I'M GLAD I COULD AMUSE. (The cousin thing is actually canon in one of the D1 grimoire cards! Rasputin refers to something Durandal says at the end of Marathon: Infinity with "It's like my cousin said, elsewhere" and I COULD NOT RESIST LATCHING ONTO THAT. Admittedly with additional flavor from the passive-aggressive sniping of Sphene and Breq in Ancillary Mercy.) AIs being annoyed about having feelings for their humans is also pretty much my favorite thing, so - I'm glad not to be alone in this! ♥
