Lorelai intentionally sought Drake out. As per usual, she was dressed in her typical, almost skin tight TSI uniform, with her katana strapped to her side. Most people parted as she walked by them, staring at her and whispering. It was obvious the TSI was far from loved in this city.
She began her search by walking towards the apartments. She knew the number of his apartment but was far from certain whether or not he would be there.

For once Drake was actually in his room!

Lorelai knocked idly on the door, and then took a careful step back.

"I ain't buying shit! Get lost."
Drake would call out.

Lorelai cocked a brow. Was that really a common enough occurrence? She knocked again, utilizing the stereotypical cop knock. Not that he'd know anything about that.

"Ugh!"
There would be heavy foot steps all the way to the door. The door would fling open and there was Drake, wearing pants this time, but not top.
"Uh... who are you?"

She stared at Drake for a moment, genuinely surprised that he didn't at least take note of her uniform.
"My name is Lorelai Khaalid, senior member of TSI." She spoke like a robot, reciting her name and title, before giving a slight shake of her head. "Are you the swordsman from before?"

Oh great, one of these blowhards. He rolled his eyes, he had been doing his best to avoid them. Last thing he wanted was a run in with Alt Father. Sigh.
"From before what? I have a sword, but so does my cousin, and I doubt we're the only two."

She gave a slight shake of her head, confident in her recognition of him.
"I wanted to train with you."
Simply said.

Drake would raise an eyebrow and stare into her soul as he asked.
"Oh, and why me?"

She raised her hand to gently stroke the hilt of her katana. She looked for a moment as if she wouldn't respond, but she forced it out, softly.
"I miss fighting other swordsmen." She took a deep breath. "And I've never gotten to... fight one like you."

Drake stared at the woman and shrugged.
"Well come on in, I gotta get ready and there is no need for you stay out here."
He would say as he walked into his apartment leaving the door open for Lorelai. He went to his room and started changing.
"So, just a heads up. I carry and use a sword, but I think I'm going to be even more unconventional than you may realize."

Lorelai stepped a single step over the threshold, closing the door carefully and quietly behind herself as she did so. She stood there, awkwardly, her eyes scanning the contents of the apartment.
"Good," she responded, simply, before falling back into her comfortable silence.

The room was pretty empty. A table, a couch, kitchen supplies, but nothing in the way of decor. The only thing that seemed out of place would be the computer set up. Which looked significantly more expensive than one might assume Meta's had access to. Drake would walk out in his typical attire and gear.
"Alright then. I just meant to say that I wouldn't really call myself a sword fighter, I'd say I'm a fighter that occasionally uses a sword. You sure that's still the kind of training you want?"

Lorelai turned back to Drake as he entered the room again, and nodded. She was certain that she needed help. Against human opponents, she was nearly unstoppable. Her speed alone could make up for most of her weaknesses. However... she wasn't going to be fighting human opponents anymore.
