( is his mother crying? ivan goes still, as if he's afraid moving will do something and-- well, he's not sure what. something equally as shocking, he's sure. but he doesn't move, doesn't attempt to break away from alys. as much as their relationship is.. what it is, she's his mother. ivan can't escape that as much as he protests he wants to.
maybe having his mother on board would not be as terrifying as he sometimes imagined it would be. after all, she hasn't asked him if he's married yet. that's good, ivan can live in a universe where his mother never inquires after his love life. or lack of suitably acceptable one. )
Did you get an assigned room? We can start there if you haven't found it already.
( you know, if they were going to move at all. which they are not doing. )
