He made coats for Miles and Gregor -- he does good work. I'd love to see the jacket.
( how on earth is he supposed to survive. harry is, also, majorly unimpressed with ivan at present. so he's just. going to avoid mentioning that, eh. )
I'm sure she was, but he's refused to marry most of the women she's shown him. It sends the distant relatives he has that are still alive into fits -- they're next on the chopping block, you see, if he doesn't have kids.
( gregor hasn't officially named an heir amongst the three of them -- uncle aral, miles, and ivan. but barrayar will never have miles as emperor. so it's between ivan and aral; ivan has very carefully made sure he is middling. not dumb enough to manipulate, not smart enough for anyone to champion as a possible alternative to aral and gregor. )
