Drake knew it wasn't safe to come back to his place right now and he told him to leave it all behind. He could get more of the things he needed and he also had stashes of cash in various places around the world he could get to if he needed. He was all too used to dropping everything and leaving so the only personal things he kept were on his back. Literally drawn there in ink. He couldn't help but smile a little amused as Ryah's mention of his place, "Hey you have been to my place. It's pretty much a shoe box with no great view." That much was true and it was very spartan in just about everything else as if Drake never really settled in. He sometimes wondered about himself and his ability to nest or form a real home, with his past history maybe it wasn't even going to be in the cards. Drake didn't let himself get all melancholy about it as there was a task at hand a mission they still needed to get through so focus was critical.<br/><br/>"As far as people coming to visit us in Boston... I said I will tell you the story of how I got turned and I will." Drake leaned back in the seat mildly anxious but trying to hide it. "Not many people know this. I had a profession before being a vampire. It was... a lot of work for hire but I was good at what I did. Anyways, going into retirement wasn't a good call for me and I started to drink heavily." That had been an understatement to say the least as drinking felt like it had been the only thing keeping him together at the time. "I was living in New York and one drunk night I tripped over what I thought to be a dead body. This guy laying half naked in the snow. Only he was alive... I should have just called the cops or something but I wasn't thinking clearly at that point, three sheets to the wind pretty much black out most days so I brought him home." He let out a sigh of frustration at the memory. "Stupid but I was overconfident in my abilities. Anyways, he wasn't a vampire... no... in fact he was very much human. He was a sort of fox spirit that got turned human and was very distressed at the prospect of living as a mortal."<br/><br/>Shaking his head Drake spoke, "I thought it was dumb. I was human at the time and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Long story short I got myself involved with him and promised to help him get his powers back which involved trekking cross country in a car. He told me about who turned him human. It was an enemy of his that had been locked ina conflict for centuries together. The man was a demon, a vampire, and a sorcerer. His name was Dimitrius." He suspects that Ryah could at least guess at the rest. "He followed up halfway across the US. Taunting us the whole way, demons are bad with grudges and vampires are no better. He was just playing with us for a long time causing problems up until he started to feel like we just might be able to do it and get the fox's powers back. That's when he decided to up the ante and turned me into this... just to hurt his enemy. It wasn't even about me, I was just a pawn in their ancient feud and one more thing for them to bicker over." As he said it his eyes couldn't help but land of Charlie laying in the back seat.
