"No boring sights, my word as Vorpatril." Which is a silly thing to give his word on, but Ivan doesn't particularly care. "The Vorpatril District just so happens to have the best resort town on the planet." A biased opinion, and if he's truthful he's never really spent time there. His summers were spent at Vorkosigan Surleau. Well he can show her that too, and they can put up with Miles and his parents if they have to.

Just so long as they avoid his mother.

But her confession gets a rather surprised look from him, because he finds that hard to believe. Or at least the idea that no one hasn't wanted to flirt with Elizabeth before. "I wouldn't have been able to guess," Ivan says sincerely, "just maybe that you were a little shy." Not that there's anything wrong with that -- Ivan tends towards the women who are far more direct himself, but the Moira hasn't left him with a lot of choice.
