( ivan's motivations for ditching the moira can easily boil down to: avoiding his mother for a little while. she's got her job to figure out, and ivan needs to figure out how to handle a mother who thought you should just be starting to walk. at least he hasn't disappointed her there.
the swords on geralt's back put him more at ease than perhaps they should -- they're not the right type for someone on barrayar, but it's close enough. unlike half the vor back home, ivan is also sure that this man could probably use them effectively as well. )
Oh, I don't know. This is a first for me. Although I heard the really high security ones back home got renovated. Turns out throwing your head of security into them can make one rethink comfort levels once they get out again.
( ivan shrugs. he's not unarmed as well -- stunner shoved into the obvious shoulder holster he's wearing over his issued uniform. he's been on too many planetary visits gone wrong to think that it isn't a good idea here. )
