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?

Stalas emerges from the depths of the cave.
He regards Mark.
"Are you the infamous clone?"

"...why are you looking at me like that?" asks Stalas, unsettled. "Miles, why is he looking at me like that?"

I told him I'd have a plaque made up with some backhanded compliment or other and he could hang it on his wall as a reminder that one of his brothers still appreciated him."
"...Ouch," says Miles.
"...Ouch," says Miles.

"And you keep looking at me," snaps Stalas. He doesn't quite go for his daggers, but the option is definitely on his mind.

...Mark winces and takes a half-step back.
"For uncountably many reasons, please keep not doing the thing you're not doing right now."

"Now there's a fight I would not want to have to break up. Can you all stop antagonizing one another?"

"I think Mark is the one who's been doing the majority of the antagonizing," says Miles. "Although - did you just almost jump him, Stalas?"
"I wasn't actually going to," says Stalas. "The thought did cross my mind. The fact that he apparently read it there isn't helping."

"But we can help being irrepressible creeps about it. Come on, Mark."
