For the time being, Drake was unsure of what had quite happened to Jason. That being said, that didn't mean that he was going to give up one bit. Adversity certainly had a way of being inspirational, even if it wasn't what he had generally been looking for.<br/><br/>Soon enough, though, they had been able to track them down and Anura had taken a ton of initiative. She had taken Vlad's leg, and Drake really admired that.<br/><br/>Still, though, he had tried to get back and had ultimately been separated. It took a few moments until he had been able to regroup, of course having been able to sense the presence of the other two considering that they were all +Anima.<br/><br/>Once he returned, he hung his head in shame while approaching the two others who had seemingly been quite happy in sharp contrast to his appearance.<br/><br/>Swallowing deeply as he attempted to collect himself, he shivered a bit and opened his eyes again.<br/><br/>"I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I hesitated because he was one of us. I thought that we were supposed to all be in this together. You even told me that we were going to build a big peaceful city for all of us to live in."<br/><br/>At that point he was honestly still swallowing, having been shaken by the fact that his naivety had to evolve and grow beyond itself that quickly, but Drake was perhaps that much stronger because of it.<br/><br/>"The next time that something happens, I won't hesitate."<br/><br/>At least, he thought, he learned his lesson very quickly and he had two people that he really could trust. They were two members of a team that he was also part of, so he didn't want to do anything that could have screwed that up. He valued them too much, but he was going to have to learn to be more selective in the process.
