They looked remarkably like his uncle Damir. Trigger thought so too, and he'd only seen that man once. Leon had seen him several times throughout his ten months and had grown fond of the oddly marked male who was nothing like his brother. "Was that man your daddy?" he asked in a kid-friendly tone, using words they'd understand without any confusion. "And did your mommy look like Trigger?" Trig gave a little nod and a happy grin, hoping that it would help the two youngsters relax. Once either of the Hughes babies said yes to one or both of those questions they'd know that they were siblings. Right now both boys were assuming, as it was safe to, but they wanted to be sure.

If they were Daire and Halyn's, he could assume Daire brought them here because they looked so much like the man's older brother, and their father would've been angered by this and assumed his brother knocked up his wife, even though that would never happen.

He had been by two months old.
