Sirius watches Kell take another chip, pleased to see him eating, though any smile that might have graced his lips falters at the question.
He's saved from answering right away by the waitress dropping off their second round of drinks. Sirius flashes her a quick, easy smile before quickly finishing off his glass in two large gulps, exhaling loudly as he sets the empty glass on the table. He considers dodging the question, steering it back to easier waters, but Kell has been rather candid. Perhaps he's owed.
"I do," he manages after a moment, leaning forward to rest his elbows on the table once more. "Or did. One by blood and one by choice." His lips twist into another grimace, a strained attempt at a smile. "Both dead, coincidentally," the words bitter on his tongue, catching in his throat almost imperceptibly before Sirius takes another quick drink from his newest pint.
