Drake listened quietly as he kept watch over Abbaddon able to see the pain of the loss as he spoke about the soul that now was stuck in his body. A shame really. But what was done was done and Drake wasn't going to allow some soul to define him or who he was. Though he offered a small but smile to the man. "I'm sorry that you lost her. It sounds like you really cared about her. What else was she like?" For better or for worse the message that Kane got through to his head was that he had to avoid the soul sickness at all cost. It was the worst, and even having Gabriel show up eased the hollow feeling in his chest but he knew it could be improved. Sure he wasn't thrilled with the condition but it had an obvious solution to the vampire, keep Gabe and the people around him happy.<br/><br/>He could do that, it wasn't hard and he was a touch curious about the past him that had 'fallen from grace' so to speak to end up here. Yet much like the blow jobs on offer if that's what he had to do to buy himself time to get his bearings there were a lot of worse sentences to suffer. The renewed sense of optimism that usually carried Drake forward gave him a solid plan to work from, after all, you could only move forward. "I know it might be painful but... if you can take pity on the newcomer to this event I have a lot to catch up on." He added with a smile that was almost charming. The vampire could be downright dangerously charming when he wanted to be and his vampiric nature had only enhanced that trait when he wanted it to sometimes the question was the matter of the right incentive.
