Has Duv ever been out on the town, as it were? Ivan would like to see the other man at least slightly unwound, although he's not sure that's actually possible. At least not with this job.

Ivan's lips purse and he considers it. "Most of the rumors exaggerate the damage. For his safety, and m'mother's now, too." He doesn't feel bad imparting this to Duv, who he feels has been granted some measure of trust by Gregor, and therefore should know what he's heading into. "But he's not as together as he acts."

It's the only way he can explain it. It's easier to see once you meet them, once you see his mother cover up for Simon's slips.
