Fabian was most worried about this issue; the reason he called Easton Holmes was to discuss it. He believed that family matters should be resolved within the confines of the home. There was no need to make it a public spectacle.
This not only would save face but also preserve the familial bond.
"Easton! After all, he's your brother. He acted on impulse; please forgive him this time." Although the two had never addressed each other as brothers in all these years and had little contact, they were, after all, half-brothers. Blood is thicker than water.
To prevent the brothers from turning against each other, Fabian had to remind Easton that they were brothers, hoping the person on the other end of the line would take this into account and not hold a grudge.
