I think I might just have to die a fangirly death of joy if another book about the boys ever did come out. That would just be beyond awesome. :-D
I like to think the boys started out with their own set of scruples that gradually disintegrated over time as they become increasingly corrupted and... er, NUTS. And Sirrus would definitely make sure Achenar carried out all the special violence just the way he wanted, and I can just imagine him being all lofty about it afterwards, because of course he was so above such openly barbaric displays. :-DD
Sirrus I think learned to bottle up his emotions fairly early in life, because he would undoubtedly see letting them run all over the place (a la Achenar) as a weakness. Above almost everything else he seems to value remaining in control, and someone with his temperment probably wouldn't get very far without some mechanism for keeping it all locked up. Achenar on the other hand lets all his passions rule him entirely. He's very smart, but probably easily distracted and derailed.
