Eden wasn’t quite sold on the destruction of their home being real but he did believe change meant bloodshed. The truly tempting part of the offer had to do with the angel he could present his father with. Something to prove once and for all that he could be a deserving heir to Hell and ready for the throne. So his gaze rested on the orange eyed demoness that might be the only thing holding him back. Oh Kane and his family... always ones to throw a wrench in any plan.<br/><br/>Iris for her part held her own as her hand came up to the touch the necklace he spoke of, half hidden in her clothing. How curious of him to take notice. “It’s fairly presumptuous of you to assume I know anything... after all you know who my father is and thus the complexity of my current relations. It isn’t against the odds that the angel took a fancy to me and it was offered up as a gift.” She wasn’t sure she wanted them to know just how much of what exactly she knew. “But, since you are... for the most part all knowing about our kind then you know almost knowing is done without a fair and proper exchange.” Her eyes meeting the angel’s wondering if he understood her implication. He wanted this badly and she could tell that there could be more of a deal to be made. She hadn’t gotten as far as she had in Hell by being soft and playing nice.<br/><br/>———<br/><br/>The words resinated through Drake like a bell clearly rung and left to vibrate. He couldn’t help but shift himself up slightly tuning himself to fully look at Gabe and the angel would catch that clarity in his gaze. There was something unnerving about this gray eyes when they were so clear, sharp, and focused and he could look into them without the guarded farce. In that moment it was like the pool of water was perfect calm and clear and Gabriel would see the depth of intellect that Drake had, the wit, the loyalty but also the savage sometimes wild nature that led his eyes to look more like a wild animal that was ready to attack or be spooked the moment you got too close. Feral.<br/><br/>The moment didn’t last long and it was gone as he shut his eyes and those shutting Gabe away from being able to really see him. “I.... appreciate that you feel that way and I don’t dismiss that you see something I don’t, but I feel.... I’m just bound to disappoint you. You resent lies and secrets while I’m full of them. Digging underneath all that I’m not sure there is much left. It’s all... twisted.”
