"You remember the way he talks about Sonny, that I mentioned?" Eve continued. "He repeated the line about how he didn't want them. At first I thought..."
She paused, shook her head. Part of her still believed the parent-child relationship there was complicated, if not unhealthy. It was uncomfortable ground for either her or Jeremiah to dwell on much. "My--"
And Eve stopped again, taking a short breath to correct herself. "When Ezra became a Noble, he was a different age than the body he has now." Casually saying my son in reference to Ezra, in front of Jeremiah, felt wrong; disrespectful even. "Melany's circumstances are unusual, too... in a similar way, I think. So the possibility doesn't seem too far-fetched to me, with all that in mind."

"Yet he cares about Sunny," Jeremiah replied, "or, at least, bringing justice to the ones who killed her." If only because Renard had made his point to Shun that they would do something of he would do something.
His lips pressed together in a thin line, if only because of the dangerous ground that was their familial relationships with those that they had met. "Well ... from what I've been able to discern, I'm not exactly as old as I should be." A hand was held out across the table for Eve to take if she wanted. "The Jeremiah Mercer I replaced was born a few years before I was." Lucky that he kept that beard and after certain age, one did not necessarily notice as much.
"But it doesn't seem that far-fetched, no. There's- I know how Minerva Mercer is related to me, though I don't know if it stands to be the same all the time." Jeremiah let out a breath. "She's my half-sister." A pause. "Same father." Which Eve knew about Piers and the complete and utter waste of existence that he was. "So anything is truly possible at this point, especially given with magic involved."
