It happens. He can tell that Caustic isn't quite familiar with his plight, but Ivan knows that he is practically destined to be a black sheep. It's nothing new. But for all Caustic's done for him, Ivan's not quite ready to see him on par as his father. He can't even really be his friend either, since the difference in age is great.
Thinking about something else would help him, but the wolf didn't give him much to work with. From the time he saw Caustic with the rabbit, Ivan liked to think that Caustic had a high rate of success with whatever he was doing. After all, he was learned. Unfortunately for Caustic, Ivan was not planning on letting this go so easily.
"I already knew that. Everyone who saw you there knows that." Ivan responded with a flick of his tail. "What? Were you trying to explode some creature? But if that were the case, I don't understand why you tried so hard to go back. So it's not that. What was it? Can I know?"
