Nori hardly gets along with his older brother but might get a better relationship with Ori instead. Nori is worshiped by Ori, which makes Dori even more concerned that Nori may corrupt their younger brother because of his young impressionable age.

Despite the fact the brothers don't get along together, they still love and protect one another.
