Iva in particular was rather self-assured, easily dismissing Eivor's criticism after the failed farmhouse "raid". In contrast, his brother was more mild in temperament with a better assessment on the abilities of people the pair met, and so was more skeptical of Iva's boasts of their power and in the "successes" of his fanciful schemes.
