The words weren't lost on Drake who had great hearing as a vampire but he chose to focus on it as they were in the separate family room with the angel gossiping far away from them. He had an itching curiosity about what Gabriel was working on but he wasn't going to give him the pleasure of knowing that instead, he spent his energy on Iris and Ryan. The two seemed happy to see Drake and he apologized for staying away but they were chattering away and Drake felt happy and carefree in a way he hadn't in a long time. The kids accepted him as is and loved them because he had been through every major life event with them.<br/><br/>Ryan was very excited to let Drake knew he was learning to fly and Drake insisted he had to video it and send it the moment he could he wanted to see it and in the vampire's word 'fly me around like that dragon from Neverending Story' to which Ryan laughed asking him he looked like a furry sausage. He also had heard about Iris's latest motions and works on the treat expanding to trying to work on a demon council and didn't seem like he was as out of touch with the demon world as he might lead some to think but Iris pleased and outlined just how much work it had been. Drake was certainly still sarcastic, teasing, and would sometimes let his mouth run away from him but it seemed the three of them were in their own little world. Kane hung back and around and it seemed it eased the usual tension between him and his kids and Drake easily weaved in teasing jabs at the demon looking all innocent when Kane rolled his eyes at him.<br/><br/>Finally after a while it was Ryan who got up from the group moving to the other angels a little apprehensive but happy as he spoke up, "Do you guys want to join us? You seem to be busy and I don't want to interrupt."
