Miles manages the French herringbone on the third try, then unravels it and does it again more neatly, then unravels it again and produces a version in which his eyes can detect no flaw.
And scant minutes later, they make orbit. There is a certain amount of bustle involved in loading themselves and their belongings onto a shuttle, then offloading them again once they reach the spaceport. Miles is an old hand, and cheerfully capable of overseeing not only his meager pair of luggage cases but also all thirty of Linya's - he retrieves a large float pallet once they're on the ground, making the load possible if unwieldy for Linya to cart around without help. Then, after navigating them through the spaceport, he checks outside the front gate to see if the family has sent a groundcar.
