LOREN
As Neron agreed with Loren about his bad habits, he let out a huff of laughter. "Calling it my modus operandi gives me far too much credit. I run like a scared little kid." Despite the joking tone to his voice, there was something sad lurking in his eyes.
Finishing cleaning himself off as best he could under the circumstances, he took the glass. Giving his brother a thankful nod, the younger twin toasted. "Much appreciated." Only then did he sip gingerly from it.
"You know me. I always have to do things in the most dramatic way possible." After that light bit of teasing, sighed "I was on my way to the Hollowed Ground to see if they needed any help after LongNight. And to get news of the world outside Halo. It's not like I planned any of this." Hearing how defensive he was becoming, he forced himself to take a deep breath and another drink from the glass.
Laughing again, he shook his head. "We don't know that he's dead. Maybe he just got transported to another part of the world, one we haven't discovered yet." The words left a bad taste in his mouth, and he felt his lips twist in something akin to disgust.
Lifting his eyes from the cup he held, he met the Hailstorm's gaze. "I take it you didn't know about the Eirachi having siblings?" There was something tentative about the Firebrand's voice. However, he didn't exactly sound hopeful about Neron shedding light on the situation.

But don’t be weary if it’s broken
Families are like that—
they’re split up and always torn.
