Drake would lean over to stare into WR's eyes. As if looking for what was hidden inside.
"Hmmm..."

"What? What is it?"
They tilted their head in confusion. Clearly he knew what happened to them.

"I don't know..."
He would say slowly before standing straight again.
"Just... let me know if that keeps, happening. Same with these portals... I don't quite know what that shit is about, but honestly if this is some more dragon Bullshit, I ain't surprised."

"It's... gotta be. I dunno what the hell the whole Thunder Dragon thing was about, but when I saw Leon he said I saw the mountain. It's either another test or... something, I dunno, but either way that means he's alive? Right? Am I just crazy?"
They shook their head again.
"I don't fucking know, man."

"Leon's dead. I watched him die. However, you could be suffering from delusions that were secretly implanted into your mind any time he or one of his subordinates looked you in the eye. He had... special skills to do shit like that. Which might explain how you died without dying."

WR nodded, slowly this time. As far as they knew, there wasn't really an explanation... but his made a hell of a lot more sense than what they came up with, so they'd just leave it at that for now. Leon was dead, and he wasn't coming back.
"Right. Okay."

Drake shrugged.
"I understand that may not have been what you wanted to hear... but I don't know what else it could be."
He sighed.
"Anyways, as for me, Gidget has asked me to start training her."

"No, I get it. Don't worry ab--" They paused as his follow up statement registered.
"Wait, what? Really?"

"She said she is tired of standing around doing nothing but running away and feeling useless. So, I'm going to start training her."
He would explain.

"Let me do it." They blurted. When they realized how awfully demanding they sounded, they added "Please. Or at least let me train her in another way. Or something."

Drake raised an eyebrow.
"So, first off. No. Second. Why?"

"'Cause I love Gremlin with all my fuckin' heart and I wanna take this journey with her. You gotta admit, she's grown a lot recently. Well, I dunno how much you guys hang, but it's true, man. I just wanna grow with her, 'cause I'm sure I got plenty to learn from her, too."

Drake nodded.
"She has indeed grown, and just as your relationship with her has grown, so has the one that she and I have developed. Don't worry, nothing romantic. I'm not even sure romance in something I believe in honestly... but that being said, I am not comfortable with you training her. For multiple reasons. If you would like to hear them out?"

WR sighed, but nodded in begrudged agreement.
"No, it's fine. I get it. At least, let me tell her what's going on? I don't believe in lying to someone for their safety. More she knows, more she can help. Besides, she prolly knows more than we both give her credit for."

Drake shook his head.
"She does know more than we think she does, of that I'm sure. After all, she is the one that introduced me to the Droogs in the first place. She has ties with them, not that I think they are good ties, but you misunderstand why I'm wanting to keep her out. It isn't because I feel like she will be targeted, it's because she isn't skilled enough to go after them, which she most certainly will, if she found that not just you, and not just I, but BOTH of us are targets on their radar. Can you stand there, look me in the eye, and tell me without a doubt that if we told her what was happening and we asked her not to get involved she would agree? Cause that isn't the Gidget I know. She would go and do something stupid to try and save us, and I'm not ok with that."
