"I appreciated the sentiment Jasaiah but really... I'm no one special." he said with a soft smile and it was clear the self esteem issues had been passed on to him from Kane they just coped with it differently and Ryan had a matter of acceptance about him that allowed him to still enjoy and love life. "You both have been very kind to arrive here and check up on me but I promise I'm fine. Mom and dad are here and they will be sure to support me through it all. Please... go I'm sure you have other places calling you." Ryan said almost knowingly. "Feel free to drop by from time to time I'm not going anywhere." he offered as he sipped at his tea able to sense the unease and guilt off Jas he had dismissed them for the man's benefit over his own, aways thinking one step more selfless than most would realize. Drake wasn't about to argue with the man who had been through so much and just nodded. Leaning over he placed a light kiss to Ryan's forehead like he had done when he knew the boy when he was younger. Then he turned ready to depart motioning for Jas to come with. Drake gave Leo a hug on the way out and it was clear there was history and friendship there but this was not the time to catch up. They all needed some time to heal.<br/><br/>Drake for his part had stayed rather quiet his personalities at bay if only for the moment as he seemed to be deep in thought his expression not giving away any train of thought that could be running through his head. He didn't appear mad at Jas or really push away any of his attempts to touch him or comfort him but didn't seem to be in a returning mood either. He just seemed.... thoughtful.
