The first thing Ryah noticed, besides all the lovely security features, was how small the space was. It wasn't really a place to invite friends over; it would feel too cramped with more than three or four people. It was clean though, and a warm reprieve from the cold night air outside. He booked the door as directed. Perhaps Drake was being overly paranoid, but well, he was still alive, wasn't he? Surely that counted for something.<br/><br/>The brunet asked if he had an extra day of clothes he could borrow and a towel. He really had no idea how he was going to pay the vampire back--and wasn't that a strange thought? Getting help from a vampire. But then again, the entire night had been weird.<br/><br/>He headed into the bathroom, more than ready to wash away all the blood and dirt soaking into his skin. As he stripped, he inspected the wound, noting with a flicker of surprise that it looked like it was healing nicely. It must have had something to do with Drake's saliva. The thought of what they'd done earlier made his cheeks heat up and he was glad to be alone.<br/><br/>Ryah tried to turn his thoughts to other things as he ducked into the shower and cranked the hot water up. He was no closer to finding Phin, and it was possible he'd painted a giant target on his back. He was running out of ideas and running out of time. After scrubbing himself clean, he stepped onto the bath mat and pulled out the medical kit, snagging the roll of bandages.<br/><br/>He left the bathroom, fan whirring slowly to clear the steam, an idea slowly rising at the back of his mind. It was probably the worst idea he could come up with but desperation made man do stupid things. God, how long had it been since he'd talked to her...? He could call her in the morning, but what price would she extract from him?<br/><br/>Back in the living room, Ryah took to the chair at the office desk. "The reason I'm looking for Phin," he began, leaning his elbows onto his knees, staring down at his hands, not quite able to meet Drake's face. He felt he perhaps owed the other male this much after all the trouble he'd caused. "He has my sister."
