[See, Klaus is learning the way to deal with Ivar just fine. Ignore his bullshit and just focus in on the times when he's actually saying something important. Ivar looks off to the side for a moment before looking back. He tends not to look people in the eye when he's uncomfortable with sharing things about himself, one of his few tells.]

The truth is-- [He leans forward as if he's going to tell Klaus something confidential...and then he swipes the flask from where Klaus had placed it in a single movement. Really, he should've put that in a less suggestive spot on his body. Ivar swallows some of it down, wincing as he puts it right back where he found it.] That truly tastes awful. But as I was saying, the truth is I wouldn't know what to do or say around him. In matters of family, my life has always been far too complicated.

[He's actually said more about his family during this conversation then to anyone else in Asgard apart from maybe Peter. That's how close to the vest he kept his feelings on the matter.]
