Kane sighed but reigned in the attitude if only for the moment, "I mean that there is a vampire from New York that is striking up a deal in Hell and stirring things up. I was willing to bet my money on who was involved in getting this mess started." His eyes locked with Drake who glanced down looking a touch deflated but resigned, "We did have a bit of an encounter in New York. There was a hunter in trouble and I might have... helped." Drake admitted meeting those unnerving orange eyes dead on as Kane looked him over.<br/><br/>"You? Helping hunters... now really when did you get so tender-hearted?" He asked quietly half amused but there was also a bit of sadness in his voice as he said it. "This kid really doesn't know anything about you does he? I suspect he might not be so willing to trust you here if he knew just what you had been like and how willing you were to spill blood for a price." Kane seemed to remind him not with a tone of judgment so much as awe. Drake was growing even more uncomfortable at the reminder though, "I was young, scared, paranoid, and possibly delusional. I'm not that person anymore... you know unlike you, humans have the benefit of being able to change." He threw the words back at the demon who just tsked, "Well, it's too back you're not human anymore. Seems to keep slipping your mind Drake." And that one cause the vampire to wince just enough to not go unnoticed.<br/><br/>He stood his ground though even as Kane sighed, "Might I remind that being turned is what happened last time you let your bleeding heart lead the way and here we are again in the middle of this mess. Might I remind you that last time you weren't the only one who suffered because of your choices." That led to Drake looking even more uncomfortable and it was clear there was far deeper story there and one that Drake usually avoided thinking about. "So what are we going to do about this vampire?" Drake asked the demon who simply shrugged, "Give him what he wants? He has some good pieces to bargain with. The plea he made in court was to bring him the girl or there will be problems for everyone, whatever that means." That's when the demon finally trained his gaze on Ryah, "I take it that you have an inkling of what I'm talking about."
