Wren smiles. "Well, here, actually. Way back. The Sauvageons are spread all
over the east coast and up into the Canadian maritimes, these days, and we
don't settle well, so I'm sure I've got a thousand second cousins I've
never met. But that side of the family claims roots in Siren Cove from back
when this place was a trading port. Before that, France, and the UK, I
think. Our family seems to collect sea stories, though, the more fantastic
the better, so I don't know if that'll help you exactly."
He nods, glancing at his own wine. "I've never lost anyone that close to
me. Friends..." He's had a couple of friends who overdosed, and one who
killed himself, but in retrospect the fact that there weren't more seems
remarkable. That period of life was verging on a cautionary tale. "I guess
I am glad I'm not just wondering." He pauses. "I don't have any idea about
my father, though. At this point I don't care - he certainly doesn't - but
it is a little odd to think how little I know." He takes a drink. "That's
one reason I used to like this song, when I was too little to appreciate
all my mother did. The magical father returning for his son. A little
silly."
