It's interesting! And I think there's something to the fact that Cordelia was in the Betan Astronomical Survey and Bel became a mercenary. There is a place for people that are talented and daring and comfortable with risk, but not on Beta. Which makes sense, because Beta itself if pretty inhospitable, limited water, salt mountains, etc. and in a case like that, you can't afford to be risky at home. You have to stay within the lines, because the damage a loose cannon could do is *huge*.
(And on another random note, I still love Cordelia's description of her past lover. "Pornography was permitted, poetry was not.")
