Like mother like son? Ivan gives a slight shake of his head. Not chiding but understanding. He can't comment on her neglecting herself when he does the same thing. He's well aware of the hypocrisy.

"I will. I will." And to prove it, he takes a decent sized bite of his sandwich. He'll still be sitting when she returns and making an honest effort to eat his meal. They can eat together until something else takes them away.
