The explanation had no left Drake moved and the weariness was in his eyes because that had not been the tone of the man pinning his down calling him a creep but he didn't say anything in reply to the discussion. There was something safe about leaving control in someone else's hands someone he trusted and Kane felt like his lifeline. Despite everything he knew that the demon wasn't out to destroy him and understood him sometimes better than himself. Kane shook his head for his part not sure how to approach this whole thing. "I don't know how much of it is in his head. Trust has always been an issue but when he was younger it did come easier. I'm not saying he hasn't hurled a bunch of bullshit my way before especially when cornered." He didn't want to do this but he knew he had to as he looked at Drake.<br/><br/>"I need to show you something though. Boy, shirt off now!" The tone didn't leave room for arguing and still Drake clearly wanted to fight it. He looked like a man with something to hide and there was a pleading in his eyes as Kane gazed back hard and unforgiving. "this is for them to understand." He said like he was speaking to a scared child and the vampire pulled off the long sleeve he had been given to fully display his torso in the light of the living room.<br/><br/>Everyone had seen Drake had scars after all there were a few small ones on his face, his hands had some but the full extent of the damage was only visible on his torso which was littered with old marks of all varieties. Some looked like bullet wounds and knife wounds, others bore the marks of whips there were a few that looked like cigarette burns along his shoulder and arm but the real stand out was the word WHORE carved into his side half onto his back and the letters were not small. There appeared to be possible other smaller words but Kane nodded with a sigh, "he didn't do this to himself for the most part you know. Others did... I remember the asshole who left that one." He gestured to the word, "he was a real gem and swore this was love and that it meant Drake was his to keep. Maybe he meant it at the time but that didn't work out... There were plenty of others too." He said in a sad tone looking over the map of scars and hurt written across his friends body.<br/><br/>"I don't know if it's in his nature to distrust but i hate to say it's not personal and you can see why." He looked over at Gabe, "either way this is going to take time but I will help as much as I can. I see how much this conflict is hurting you both but right now you have to be the bigger person and see just how damaged he is."
