Oh God, how to ask this-- "It just sounded like you were talking from personal experience, sir." Ivan might not dive into Vor rumors like Byerly does, but he's spent his time around it and in it to absorb some things that he has steadfastly refused to put together.

Like several bits of rumors about his uncle and Vorrutyers, for instance. But since Miles has only responded to those with anger and annoyance, Ivan's never bothered to question the validity. Except right now, of course. Oh hell.
