He sighs when Dodger's fingers run across his chest. Poor bastard. He's hurting right now. No wonder he came to Ivar. He knows him better then anyone else here. Despite his anger, Ivar can't turn him away. Like he and Zatanna talked about, it's like an addiction being around him.
Ivar props himself up on his elbows and keeps petting Dodger, carding his fingers through his hair slowly and methodically. "If it were easy to not make the same mistake twice, it wouldn't be so common a problem." He leans over and kisses Dodger on the temple in a comforting manner.
"I can't say I've ever tried to change my ways. But I come from a time and place where I don't have to. Even here, it's easy to keep things as they've always been. So you must ask yourself what will make you happier? Trying to change or staying the same?"
