Because the main point is a hell of a big one. Miles isn't precisely surprised to hear Mark is an assassin - of course he would be if he expected to show up and pretend to be Miles Vorkosigan - but his answer is immediate and clear, like the ringing of a bell. Gregor has to ask?

He's decided to protect and defend this little sibling of his to the ends of the nexus, but he also desperately understands the need to do it his own way. Miles always has, after all. He would chafe to be protected, belligerently demand back his dangers if necessary. ]
