[i]Drake smiles, appreciating the effort.[/i]
"Thanks kid, but it's alright. If something's on your mind, you can tell it to me. I couldn't give a damn if you're being angsty or not--what's important is that you say what you have to say."
English
-
"You wouldn't belive me, and trust me when I say you might start reaching for razors if I told you everything.... Y'know what? I'll just do some small talk. I met a girl, not too long ago. We got together, and...shit, I've....I've felt pretty damn good."
-
[i]Drake's grin grew a bit more, and he reached across the table to give you a congratulatory slap on the shoulder.[/i] "Hey, it's about time! I'm proud of you Alex. I... I don't actually remember my first date, but I'm sure it was worth remembering." [i]He took a quick look down at his feet, and then at the blonde sitting at the bar, who quickly averted her gaze. He cheekily grins, and then turns his attention back to you. [/i] "So yeah, that's great. What else happened?"
-
"I died, and came back from the dead. No joke" He was dead serious "I've got the scars"
-
[i]Drake took a closer look, and then he shrugged. [/i] "Well, somehow I was more surprised at the whole girl thing. Anyways, things have been fairly quiet on the Arrowhead front. Winchester's still gone, Phoenix is off hunting, and Sawyer... well, he's going through a bit of a tough time too." [i]He smiled wanly,[/i] "So I decided to run away for a bit too. I have the helm to Sawyer on temporary leave, took some credits, and came here. And, well, here I am." [i]He spreads his arms.[/i]
-
"Winchester...uhh....have you heard [i]Anything?[/i]" he said, suddenly concerned
-
[i]Drake shakes his head.[/i] "No. Old bloke went his own way, or so he said. I gave him his last paycheck a few months ago, and I haven't heard from, or of him, since."
-
He nodded absentmindedly, and sighed "Thanks. uhh......." He rubbed his face with the back of his hand "What now?......How's sawyer doing?"
-
"He's been... He's been doing alright. Same old Sawyer, really. Keeps trying to teach me how to use my powers, but he doesn't seem to get that mine work differently than his." [i]Drake sighs,[/i] "So, how's your sister doin'?"
-
He laughed darkly "She should be on MTV, she's 15 and got herself pregnant"
-
"Hey, she is who she is. Who are we to judge?" [i]The comment had hit of a sore spot with Drake, whose wife had become pregnant at the age of 17. Of course, he lived in a society where that was socially acceptable, but Alpha's condescension still irked him slightly. [/i] "Who's the father?"
-
"A dragon guy by the name of Nyxon, he seems nice enough" he said, tiredly, and he noticed Drake's reaction "what? What did I say this time?"
-
Edited by GingerlyWalnut3: 12/30/2016 6:15:53 AM"Is my Poker face that bad? No wonder I lost that match." [i]He tries to act nonchalantly, but you recognize the deeper emotions within him. You've seen that pain in your own mirror. [/i] "Celina was around that age when she was pregnant. I've always thought that love was sweeter back then. I'm glad that I found someone like her before I... Turned into what I am today. You should be thankful that your sister found somebody too. Even if he's a dragon."
-
he smiled darkly, and it was rather sarcastic "Gee. Heartwarming. What do we even gain from that?......" he remembered something, and his smile turned sad "I.....I love Lisa. But.....I'm scared. What if I die? What then? Will....will she forget me? She almost left me over what I did, and...I'm surprised she stayed with me"
-
[i]Drake looks over to the side, contemplating. To tell the truth, he'd only felt love once--the others had merely been his out of lust. [/i] "Well, you never forget the dead, for better or for worse. She'd remember you, I'm sure... And I can bet why she almost left you. That being said, if she really, truly loves you, and you truly love her then little incidents like that won't stop you two from being together. Trust me. If anything can persist through violence, it's love."
-
"Drake....I've been tortured. I'm not talking on board the Crusader. I'm talking a few days ago. I...I've never been so scared. I...Did I put her in danger? Did...." He sighs "Sorry. I'm doing it again"
-
[i]Drake sighs, but not out of frustration or anything d the sort. It sounds, well, worried almost.[/i] "Say no more Alex, I don't think I need to know what happened. If you think it's that bad, then yeah, I'd say that she's in danger. If I'm to be honest, you aren't exactly hard to track. I don't want you turning out like me, losing the one you love because of your own stupidity."
-
"Thanks......I.....It's not that I'm hard to track, but I live in a damn-near indestructible ship"
-
"Well, so do I. But you can't expect either of you to live the rest of your lives inside of there, right? Some grudges don't fade away Alpha." [i]Drake laughs, but it's a humorless, dry bark of laughter.[/i] "I'm not exactly being reassuring here, but I'm telling the damn truth. If you think that she's in danger, then she probably is."
-
"which is what scares me.......though, on another note, I did nab this off of a guy I killed Don't worry, it was in self defense" he showed Drake the Lightsaber hilt he'd taken off of Korsis
-
"That's a nice blade, I'll admit. Kinda reminds me of what Magnetar had, doesn't it?" [i]He smirked slightly, remembering one of the first adventures he'd had with the teenager across from him. Unfortunately, it also reminded him of something. They had come so far together, and both of them owed each other so much... But all things had to come to an end sometimes. [/i] "Hey, Alex... Look kid, this hurts for me to say this, but--dammit.-" [i]He calls out to the bartender, a few meters away.[/i] "-Hey, can I have another glass of whiskey? On the rocks." [i]He sighs as the bartender prepares his drink.[/i] "Look, we've gone our separate ways the past few months. You've been away with your new family, I've been, well, doing what I've been doing on the Arrowhead. I can't keep you on the crew man. It's a ways of money, and frankly, I can't keep you safe. As a crew member, you're my responsibility, but if I let you go... Well, you get my point."
-
He crossed his arms, though he had been living on the outskirts for a while........he had still considered Drake a close friend "I.....appriciate your offer....I...I need to think it over"
-
"Alex, it's not an offer. You're off the crew. Simple as that." [i]Drake had sounded reluctant before, but now some steel had crept into his voice.[/i] "I'm not going to pay you and look after you your entire life. I'm giving you the freedom to live however the hell you'd please."
-
".......I....damn. Drake. If you ever need anything, let me know"
-
"Likewise. It's been a helluva ride Alex." [i]Drake grinned, and held out a hand--his real hand--for Alpha to shake. One last time. Alpha had no reason to suspect this, but Drake had some ulterior motives for this. He just didn't want to put Alpha, or his family, in danger. [/i]
