#Sadık has his mother's last name because that's the one that carried power and social capital

The seed for this btw was Magdy introducing Rut to the family and while they wait for the Seniors to talk to them, they actually catch a glimpse of Mohammed (8 years old), playing with his momma. And Magdy makes SURE that both this woman and this child will be treated with the utmost kindness and respect, because they're at the heart of this business and also, the most dignified people Magdy has ever known. So put some respect on that name and be nice to that little boy, understood?

Still need to flesh out the relationship between Mohammed and the other two and Magdy is especially tricky, but I like the idea for all his stubornness, he has a lot of respect for him, because he always had respect for his family. His maternal grandfather, his mother and now Mohammed. It isn't the intense fatherly love Paddy has for his weans nor the also very gentle and involved touch Robin has with the youngins, but Magdy IS fond of Mohammed. He's glad to see what he always found most awe-inspiring, for better and for worse, has survived down the family line, so he will keep laying down his life for it and to ensure that the machine keeps running. He's so dutiful, but now that he saw his boss grow up, there's also a soft twinge that makes him a little fatherly about his duty.
