Ivar crouches down next to Silva, lowering himself to the boy’s level. Having grown up in a small village, he has a nostalgic fondness for looking after children. Although he has heard malaks are often much older than what their physical appearance indicates, Ivar can’t help but to see Silva as a small, adorable child. He smiles gently and lowers his voice-- a rarity considering his usual speaking volume is shouting. “I thought I recognized you. I live in Hellawes, so I saw Teresa a lot. Glad you seem to be doing better now, kiddo.” He holds a hand out. “I’m Ivar. You’re not still called ‘Number One,’ right?”
