"You're Satu's brother aren't you? She's here as well, part of Ludicael like me." The phrase was not one that Iorwerth himself would use. They were related by blood, though these days such connections meant very little to him. Family in general wasn't important, they had their bonds already strongly formed and he was nothing to do with it. There was no point interfering with their lives, he simply didn't fit a fact that didn't bother him.
He decided not to comment upon these words. Novella had assumed correctly, there was no way he was about to rush out to visit them all. Such an idea didn't even form in his mind, instead the statement was completely disregarded, the knowledge was of no use to him. Perhaps now would have been the opportune moment to point out that Novella had a sister here in Seracia but he decided to steer clear of the family topic for now and get back to what Novella was doing here. "Who were you looking for?" Had he a better sense of humour or one at all he may have added that she likely wasn't looking for him, of course though the joke didn't spring to his mind.
