Drake would be walking around the market rather aimlessly. Just looking at the holiday decorations and the toys and gifts all out on display... Christmas time was always special back home... but here it almost seemed downright magical... he gripped at the scarf around his neck as a small tear fell.
"I'm sorry y'all couldn't see this with me..."
He would say to the soul infused scarf. However it too would respond by wiping the tear off his cheek as if they understood. Drake would regain his composure and keep window shopping.

Dj would be walking through the market, looking at the way the stores were all dressed up. He never celebrated the holidays, didn't really have anyone to do it with and back home the traditions were much different. Still the warmth of the season filled him, and he really loved the idea of a time dedicated to celebrating your loved ones.
Then he noticed a young man crying at a window. Furthermore the way his scarf moved made him seem like a meta. A huge pit of sorrow filled Dj, sorrow only someone else who had lost their family could get. He would approach the younger man and stand quietly beside him.
His presence wasn't an interference or an acknowledgement of his weakness. Just a silent body and a warm, genuine soul beside him. The color of his soul was a soft, deep tanzanite. It was unique almost glittering. However, it was muted, and a few tears began to silently roll down the stoic expression of the tall, pretty man.

Drake turned as he felt the presence of another and was about to tell them off when he caught sight of their soul... how deep and genuine it was, so much like someone... but that was another life and another time... Instead he would just huff. He could easily see the signs of being left behind, left alone in the world... Probably because that's how he felt his entire life. So seeing it in others... Sigh.
"Hey."
Was all Drake would say.

"Hey." Was the only response that was needed. If a conversation was going to be effective here, it would have to be because Drake was ready to share the emotions. Despite this he would keep his head lowered and turn it softly. He kept his pain very well hidden, but it shone through in his presence. Like the air around him spoke to his emotion. He would wait for what was next, now looking the other man in the eyes.

Drake would stare into the man's big beautiful eyes. They were... hypnotizing.
"I'm Drake. Drake Sudeki."

Dj would stare back, the same eyes expressively waiting. Nervous, sad, hopeful, wanting nothing but to help. They never left Drake's as his posture shifted.
In his trademark warm, rich timbre "Djoser Aneksi." He would say with a light nod as he slowly and reverently offered his hand.

Drake would shake the man's hand.
"You lost everyone in the incident too."
Drake wasn't asking he was confirming to the man that he knew, and that the man was correct for assuming what was bothering Drake.

He would nod and his eyes would get teary again.
"I'm sorry for intruding on your moment, I just... wanted to try and help... Just offering myself as an open heart with similar experiences."
Djoser would calm himself and say with newfound composure. "Nobody deserves to feel totally alone."

Drake scoffed.
"Yeah? Well, someone forgot to inform all the people in my life about that."
Drake said sardonically.
"All I've ever known was loneliness and abuse."

At the scoff, Djsoer would let off a warm smile.
"Well, you can forget about that with me. I wouldn't dream of hurting anyone the same way I was." He would say with a smile, almost giggling. "Want to grab something to drink?" He'd say with a still jaded expression, trying to offer something to show his genuine intention.

Drake looked at the man and contemplated for a moment wondering what their motive was, what was their endgame... But they seemed to have none... Ughhhhh...
"Yeah, sure. Lead the way."

Djoser would smile and adopt a more cute, playful pose, really showing their pretty features while making it clear he is innocently trying to open up Drake. "Hmmm... Cocoa, Tea, Soda, Coffee, or Smoothies? You decide." He'd ask with a giggle.

"Cocoa, is that really even a question?"
He sounded like he was being critical however, his eyes did light up.

"Unfortunately, we do live in a world with people who have inferior taste." He would chuckle before leading him along taking to the best cocoa store in the market.
"So, you are familiar with the traditions of these Holidays?" He would say with curious eyes and a winning smile.

Drake would stroke the scarf, thinking of the souls residing within.
"Yeah... something like that..."
He would shrug.
"Did you never celebrate Christmas back home?"
