This about Sen and Darius.

Heard their siblinghood just recently, myself. Or just recently heard it sober enough for comprehension. Sen’s said he mentioned the fact some years back, only I was off world at the time, you get my meaning and so I kept no knowing of it.

[ … ]

Makes a kind of sense, ey? Wouldn’t’ve put two and two together on my own devices, but it’s quite the ‘how the fuck’d I miss that’ looking backward.

The way Sen tells it and I’m inclined to believe, there being some matters Wilco hisself won’t jest over, Darius took the news well and better than. Strange thing, I’d call it, only I gather there’ve been changes wrought in our little lord n saviour, and the two of em were near enough like brothers themselves, anyrate. Guess as well it’d’ve been welcome having a brother who ain’t [ … ] eh, you know the shite.

Christ. Menace of a family, that’s sure. Can’t say I’ve blame for Sen in the least, keeping that secret close and held. And there’s what you said on Darius, him being a wreck waiting to happen every moment, least for a shite of a long while there.

[ … ]

Right so, Sen bein that kind of vexed and Sen leaving out from a conversation unfinished, that’s all a certain kind of telling. Might be not so surprising, this case.

Thing is it’s about the worst time to be jesting or half jesting around his parentage. His mum, Moira, aye? We’re coming up on the anniversary of her passing. [ … ] Never a breezy time for Senan to start with. It, eh. When it happened [ … ] her passing, it near destroyed him, and that grieving visits him still. There’ve been years he turned recluse for a week, straight disappeared.

…Poor sod can’t even drink it quiet this time round, what with his liver and all.

Point is it’d be a piss poor time for raising talk of the man abandoned Sen and Moira both. Worse still, like, for bringing her name among those rancid folks you spoke of, they that Darius inherited.

Moira deserved better than fking Darcy Scarlett or any other man brought to her door. Deserves better than her name run through the muck, and Sen deserves better than hearing that same catastrophe.

[ … ]

Suppose it bears saying I’ve no solid sense if it is or ain’t cause here. Christ knows the two of them have years of exploits for growing quarrels from, and the whole matter’s thorned.

Just, eh. It’s one element about the air.
