I saw a question asking you for the meaning of Miles' line "I am the man who owns Vorkosigan Vashnoi" but I had to sign off before I could read your answer, and now I can't find that question in Goodreads - no frelling search function! I have my own ideas what that line means to Miles, but I would love to know what you meant by it? My apologies for repeating a question that has already been answered!

Yes, this GR Q&A function is in dire need of a search function. I don't think whoever set it up imagined answered questions over time running into the many hundreds. When they started out, the reader could not even order questions by newest-first, but was just presented with a random mix. Maybe if many, many people requested a Q&A search function of the GR site wranglers, one might be installed?
To answer your question, Miles was at that moment having his epiphany about his true identity through that metaphor of his Barrayaran stubborness refusing to give up his underlying identity as a Barrayaran and a Vorkosigan, despite how Naismith's glittering galactic possibilities tried to seduce him. Not just the echo of his ancestors' war-tenacity, but an echo of his future responsibilities to his District and redeeming the poisoned land.

If I did the math correctly, Penric would be in his seventies when the Golden General starts his rise. I was wondering how those events might impact him and Desdemona? I'm guessing they'd be geographically far enough away to be unaffected by the politics (and war), but the propagation of demons that happened during that time frame could have further implications for the Bastard's divines.
