"Kujen's early life?" Jedao says. "He was reticent about his childhood. He was a refugee on some world assimilated by the heptarchate in his childhood. I don't know specifics, not even the name of the world. He worked with Heptarch Nirai Esfarel at one point. Beyond that...he liked to tell stories about worlds he'd seen, and wars, but I don't know how much of it was invention." A pause, then, in a very neutral tone: "He was an excellent dancer. Both solo dances and partnered dances, lead or follow. He preferred to lead."
