Ivan was expecting the lobby of the consulate in Ylla but Milliways is a nice, surprise, he hasn't been here for about a year. Since the last time he was here, he's tanner and looking rather content, his exile isn't turning out too badly once he sorted out the office to run as it should.

He heads for the counter to order a Barrayaran wine as they're harder to get out where he is and then turns to look at what's going on as he loosens his uniform collar.

"Olivier, hello, I'm doing fairly well though its been a while since I've been here. Join me for a drink."

"Gladly, thank you sir." He sits with a smile, pushing his hair back from his face and ordering a pot of tea. "How long have you been gone?"

[vorpatril]

"Its been at least a year since I've seen Milliways."

"And how had you been since then? You looks well and in good health."

"I'm well, my wife and I are living on a planet called Ylla where I'm working at the Consulate, but there's not much to do. Its relaxing."

"A life lived less troubled seems to agree with you. What is Ylla like?"
