[Weird. Getting weirder.

More to herself,] My lich form isn't stable enough for this shit.

So, lemme get this straight, he wants you to play mother hen, then? Like, are we talking about the same Ephemera? Tall guy? Fucked up face? Weird shark thing going on?

He just... [ Drake scrubs at his face, not knowing how to put this. He doesn't appreciate the mother hen comments but is starting to question himself again. ] I don't know what you want to hear. You weren't there after their last fight. He was getting lost and I can't-- I'm not going to let that happen.

[oh. lup is listening. but it feels like, from the way she's turned to lean closer to him, that she may be trying to read him other ways]

....Is there something you're not telling me?

[ Drake frowns. Of course there is, stuff that isn't his to tell. What Sharkface was like, how Washington described him, how Ephemera said he wasn't even a person anymore until here, until Drake. Just why he was letting his friend take the wheel. ]

If you want to know much more I'm going to have to call him.

[it's not quite what she meant, but the specter shrugs, leaning back] Nah, I get it. Leave that one dick alone and don't encourage Ephemera.

...that's it, yeah.

[ Drake visibly tensed over the course of the conversation and seems to relax a little now, relieved she's not going to keep pushing for things he can't explain. ]

He'll tell you more, I'm sure. It's just not my story.

[Noted. Lup can do her own investigating.]

Fair. Wouldn't ask you to throw down deets on his shit anyway. [She wouldn't want that to happen to her, for how close she keeps her stuff close to her chest.

But with that outta the way, we deffo all need to hang out together.
