The fact that Byerly doesn't argue but goes straight for the bring up rumors and gossip tactic means he's trying to deflect. Ivan scowls -- he'd have done the same in By's place, which is probably why he's so annoyed at being the butt of Byerly's amusement once again. Well that and it gets damned old after a whole.

Ivan grits his teeth as he hoists up his own end, scowling at the other man. "Don't always believe what people say, By." He was wearing her bathrobe, alright. "Anyway, getting caught is part of the deal when they're using you to make their husbands or boyfriends puff up and get all jealous." A scoff then, as he lets By lead the way towards whatever convenient cliff he's found. "Like I want to marry them."
