If only Drake could read his mind he wouldn't deny he was self serving but most people were no better in that department. He looked at Sam now still trying to look mostly disinterested. He shouldn't be surprised by the turn of events and had braced for it but it still stung a little to be treated like something subhuman and dirty. "My endgamw? Not dying is still a pretty strong motivator for me." He admitted as so far that was the plan and while he liked helping Ryah he also did it to protect himself.<br/><br/>"If you're curious as to how we met he got a tip off some vamp that Phin was at a bar I like to stop by. Not sure if she had us confused or something but that's not chance. He made me for what I was even as I wanted to leave to go to work... And that's when a coven rolled up and decided to use some persuasive recruitment tactics. They must have felt the need to show off with a hunter or something either way I didn't have much of a choice but to help or deal with them." They had had no choice but to trust each other. "As for helping with Phin?" He smirked a little. "Often vampirs like him end up being my problem sooner rather than later. They don't get that just want to be left alone and don't want to join the club house. It made sense to take him down with help.," He didn't mention for now that Ryah kind of fucked it up a little but oh well.<br/><br/>They were here now.. "Now please tell me if you would have acted any differently in my situation?" He asked curious about it but suspected that Sam would feel that he would rather die then become him. Or that he was above it all. Drake had never had much interest in dying and that's why he was here. "And since Phin will come after me and Ryah the offer he made only made sense. I know my strength and Phin is an old vampire and I don't have the luxury of a call for help line anymore." He had been alone and out of the way for the most part but things didn't stay the same and it was only a matter of time that life caught up with you.
