[Ivan strongly considers filtering this from Gregor, but he thinks the man can have input into his own party. If his input is the 'don't throw me a party' kind then Ivan can always ignore it. He's aware that his mother would be appalled at him for starting his planning so late, but Ivan's reasonably certain that he can still gather in one place all the essential ingredients: food, attractive women, alcohol, and Gregor. Still, he suspects that Gregor might want something more and what that something would be Ivan does not know.

So he turns to his journal, bringer of wisdom -- or at least other people's perspectives.]


What makes a party fun for you?

Me, I'm easy to please, I think. But some people are really sold on having tiny iced cakes that look like Earth, as an example.

[And for some people things that look like Earth are out of the question. Gregor might be more interested in that sort of difference than Ivan is. Actually...]

And if there's anything you do where you're from that you don't see done here, you might share that as well.

Sounds like a bundle of fun.

[in a tone that says the exact opposite. But it turns matter-of-fact as she continues, checking off a mental list]

Food. Drinks. And something to dance to. Can't go wrong.

[So up there, when Ivan said to Faith that he's Gregor's cousin, he undid all the careful non-mentions of their relationship Gregor has been careful with establishing. He figures if his identity is known to the Malnosso--which it is--at least Ivan is one of many Ivan Vorpatrils on Barrayar. For all they knew, he was simply Ivan and not Lord Ivan. Gregor sighs.]

I suppose Barrayaran holidays are few and far between enough that it would be in poor taste for me to deny you this one.

My duty on Our birthday is to collect symbolic taxes, open the dancing with Cordelia, and remain sober enough to accept the well-wishes of every brown-noser who wants something. Since none of these are going to happen here, I was assuming I'd probably just get drunk.

Weird.

You should probably ask whoever it is what they like. [Which is practical advice in her mind, but probably not what the guy is looking for.]

A lot of people like to have food and alcohol at their parties. And if they're really into the cake thing, you can probably get the bakery to do it.
