Would the accompaniment of a friend or potential suitor help or hinder each sibling on their journey?
For Serenas and her escape specifically, they could potentially ruin her 'jailbreak' -- someone that knows her may unknowingly give her location to where she is staying. It is also very possible that her brother could track someone that is accompanying Serenas in her travels. In the long-term, it is hard to say.
For Quelios - he has militant parties and associates that may help him, and the whole of House Dawnsinger will be behind tracking down Serra. A random friend or party that is potentially interested in more could be a distraction from his aim to bring his sister back home and bring the House back its peace.
Of course, we are speaking in the terms of NPCs. With the introduction of another player, interaction is never fully planned out, and that is how I prefer such things. A player's character could affect my character's journeys multiple potential ways...and that is always the fun of Rp!
