Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jeremiah blinked at hearing that, fingers running along the edge of the book. "That's- Well, Aleksy would know. He's one of our few knowledgeable connections to this world. Though I am not sure how I feel about a third Renard ..."

Would it really be that surprising in the end? Renard was a ridiculously powerful magic-user.

"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."

Jeremiah let out a huff of breath, his usual near laugh of amusement. "A twist of fate that now you're a few years my elder."

Shaking his head he nodded in agreement. "I do take it that way but she has been missing for years, not yet proclaimed dead, whereas Pride - Jennifer Wells - and Pax -Zhou Ming - are both dead.

"Yet I knew her, Eve, because she is a Mercer and Piers was divorced by my mother years ago." Eve knew the strangeness of his family, how the women never took the husband's name. Minerva, born from Piers and an unknown woman, would not have been a Mercer at all.
