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?

"Maybe I wouldn't have been so quick to if I'd seen the fake rock first."
"...I can't quite tell how much you're joking," says Miles.
"Some," says Stalas. "It's obvious that the rock is fake, but it's the lava that's really bad."

"Are you sure the rock doesn't just look fake because it's not stone-sensible?"

"Yes. It's - the details don't match the shape. It's like looking at a statue with the hands on backwards and the nose upside down. They're the right details but they're put together wrong."

"Huh."

"I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the lava pits. Hey, Miles—"
"Whatever a lava pit is, no, you cannot have one on Barrayar," says Miles. "Not soon, anyway. You will have to convince people other than me to give you permission to construct a lava pit."
"That shouldn't be too hard."
"Many of them are wise to my tricks."
"Do you let that stop you?"
"...Not usually," Miles admits.

"Yes, you did," says Stalas. "Then you got eaten by a - whatever that was."
"Tiger."
"That's a tiger?"
"Yep."

"True," says Miles.
"Watching your little ghost man get eaten by a tiger is still hilarious," says Stalas.

"There's a few ways to get killed in every level. I think this one also has carnivorous plants and I don't know the others."

"Carnivorous plants? Aren't plants supposed to not move around?" says Stalas.
"Most of them don't. Some of them don't move around except to eat things," says Miles.
"By the Stone," mutters Stalas.
"Wonders and delights," Miles says cheerfully.
