Ivan must be drunker than he thought he was. He could have sworn he knew his way around Vivienne's parents' house, since she wanted to introduce him last week and showed him the place, but maybe they have a... secret... upstairs... bar? where Vivienne's room is supposed to be? And most certainly was last time he checked? He's never going to find the sweater she sent him up looking for here, anyway. Why is there a secret upstairs bar in Vivienne's parents' house?

Dice with Ivan. Before that it was chess, during which he played uncannily like you until I noticed. I swapped seats with Ivan, and then he got almost good enough to beat me. I haven't played a second game so I don't know if he exceeded 'almost'.
A short pause, then: Mind asking him how he feels about Stalas currently?
Earlier he was trying to pick a fight with him. Stalas wanted to know if he was still inclined that way. Our question is answered.
Might be. We've been talking family history. So far we've figured out that Stalas's father doesn't sound like an alt of mine, but we're not sure about our mothers because he never met his.
It seems very unlikely for exact family history to be strictly required for althood, considering how far everyone's ancestry goes back if they have such a thing at all.
