That's true, the only really active part of his was the initial conflict with Laurence. Still, they're brothers-in-arms and iron each other's cravats... ;)
"She cannot be so very maternal, if she agreed to send him so far away in the first place," Laurence said to Granby, shortly after dawn the next morning; he was inspecting his best coat and trousers, which he had set out to air overnight, in the early light: his cravat needed pressing, and he thought he had noticed some frayed threads on his best shirt.
"They usually aren’t, you know," Granby said. "Or at least, not after the hatching, though they get broody over the eggs when they are first laid. Not that they don’t care at all, but after all, a dragonet can take the head off a goat five minutes after it breaks the shell; they don’t need mothering. Here, let me have that; I can’t press without scorching, but I can do up a seam." He took the shirt and needle from Laurence and set to repairing the tear in the cuff. -- Throne of Jade, pp 321-322 Del Rey paperback
