the One Ring on Barrayar

[philomytha]

So I saw a meme a while ago where you say what particular characters would do if they were offered the One Ring. Here's my Barrayaran version

Bothari would take it to Cordelia and offer it to her.

[rymenhild]

As long as Cordelia was within reach. If Bothari was in Ges's service... well. Hello, Sauron.

[philomytha]

That is absolutely perfect!

Wasn't Ges refered to as "gaudily Evil" by Cordelia in SOH? That's Sauron to a T. ;)

I say this with love, but I can't imagine Miles not using it if it came his way. He teters on the brink so much that he'd grab it and go over before anyone else. "Whatever you say Gregor" and "2 out of 3 for your heart vs. your heart's desire don't cut it for the One Ring. Unless Ivan was there.

Yes, Miles is not a Ringbearer kind of hero. Best two falls out of three is plenty of opening for the Ring to overcome him.
