"Because now that Genis is here, I had wondered if you had need of me," Solomon admitted--which was the part which sounded childish. As did the carrying of tales, so to speak, which was why Solomon didn't mention names as he added, "It was pointed out to me last night that your brother will always be the most important person to you. If that's the case--as it should be; he's family--then I'm ... unsure where my place ought to be at this point, if anywhere."

The words were uncharacteristically unsure, almost vulnerable, and while Solomon wasn't looking down his gaze didn't quite meet Raine's either.
