Kell's hesitance in responding is telling, Sirius thinks. And he's proven correct once Kell does speak, the answer somewhat conflicting. A servant treated as family?

Sirius sips at his own, letting the silence settle for a moment before he says, "Remember this later," he says with a wink and a smirk. "If we meet again and I succeed in pissing you off, perhaps. But tell me, of what service were you to the royal family?"
