Summary
Seth side-eyed Iris, then snorted a laugh when she made a talking motion with her hand. “Uh huh.”
« Iris, I saw that. My point is, it is frankly insulting that you immediately assume I did something bad— »
“Peri broke protocol on its last cargo run,” Iris interrupted loudly.
--
Or, Seth finds out that the surprises never end when your kid is a giant homicidal starship.

Summary
“Did you bite one of them on the ear?”
“Closest thing I could reach,” Ratthi says, sounding strangely cheerful. “Incidentally, you can actually bite off part of someone’s ear if you’re trying hard enough. Volescu was wrong about that one.”
“I don’t think Volescu ever said anything about ears.” Once they’d gotten on jaw augments, the conversation had gone off the rails pretty quickly. If it had ever been on the rails to begin with. Which it hadn’t.
It’s difficult to imagine Ratthi biting someone’s ear off. It’s also difficult to imagine Ratthi choking someone into unconsciousness, and Gurathin’s pretty sure that one also happened.
When Gurathin volunteered to keep Ratthi company on the shuttle, he wasn't expecting the shuttle to get stolen with them on it. He wasn't expecting their captors to be both violent and idiots, and he really wasn't expecting the part where Ratthi bit someone holding an energy weapon.
This would all be so much easier if he had augmented jaws.
