Really the explanation shouldn't have been a surprise but Drake felt like taking pity on the other as he watched the way the other was floundering through his explanation. He suspected that maybe it wasn't the full truth but it didn't matter now because Ryah just looked so lost. Offering a small smile as he placed a hand on Ryah's arm before he spoke again. "I understand. I'm sorry I shut you down as well. It's just... I have been down that road before and I suspect you are confused. Just... experimenting." He said feeling the word bitter in his mouth as he suspected that Ryah might try to deny it all even reeking of the sex he almost had with Eden.<br/><br/>"You should pay for your drink and we should head back to your place. We can talk about it more there even if you're not used to talking about feelings and such. It's important... because as you said you're not sure what to do and there is no one way to solve it." He explained talking over the sound of the bar as he glanced back over his shoulder to make sure no one else was listening in. "You need to have your head about you for your sister and everyone else." Drake knew it was only a matter of time before the rest of the vampires showed up and he needed to make sure that Ryah wasn't off on his own getting drunk and ripe for an attack.<br/><br/>That and there was a part of him that had the clawing of jealousy about the whole thing even if he couldn't lay claim to Ryah in the slightest and he knew it was a fool's errand to go feeling that way about guy who was so deep in the closet he didn't even know what a closet was. "Come on, worst comes to worst we can get drinks at your place but having spent a few years in a black out haze of denial I strongly advise again it." He said trying to reason with the other as he knew that the man could be emotional.
