The uniforms of the Barrayarans forces during the Cetagandan Invasion are just as flattering on Ivan as the ones from his own time, but Ivan covers it up with an issues plain coat when he ventures into the village. Hoping for something, anything, to help both escape a possible violent end and relieve the bone-chilling cold with some pretty girl.

What Ivan doesn't expect is to run into Duv Galeni of all people. Ivan hasn't seen him in camp, so has he been hiding out in the village all this time? Hell, if so Ivan's going to have to learn how to do that. He reaches out to grab Duv's arm, trying to drag his attention away from whatever is occupying it. "Duv! Hey, Duv!"

You're welcome, Duv Galeni.
