Drake would stare into her soul.
"Well, for one I can see people's souls."

Leif's soul was... grey. She was lost. Every part of her had been stripped away over the last few years. Giving up her honor had almost destroyed her.
But somewhere, deep inside, was still Leif, the brilliant, bright shining Leif, filled with color. The colors were muted, but they were there, somewhere deep inside.
"Souls, huh? That almost sounds... miserable. Takes the mystery out of getting to know people."

"That's... one way of looking at it. Alternatively, it also puts me in a unique position to help people... or to know what to use against an enemy to uniquely make them suffer."
He said with a shrug.
"For instance. Your soul tells me that you are lost, living in your own personal world of chaos... but you aren't gone. The real you is still inside waiting for you to crack out of your shell."

Leif stared at him for a moment before chuckling. She gave a shake of her head and laid back on the sand, staring up at the sky above them.
"Yeah? Maybe. Wouldn't that be a sight to see."

"Maybe, from what I see you're true soul is a lot more interesting than your current shell."
He would say with a shrug.

"My true soul. Heh... I miss the old me, some days."
Leif put her hands behind her head and continued to stare at the sky above her.
"What about your soul? What does yours look like?"

Drake shrugged.
"No clue, never seen it. Side effect of my own gift I guess. Can see everyone else but not myself."

"Hmm."
Leif gave a little bit of a shrug.
"Having looked at other people's souls, what do you THINK yours would look like?"

Drake thought about that for a moment and chuckled.
"Honest answer? I really don't want to know."

"Why not?"
Leif turned her head to look at him, her brows rising slightly.

"Let's just say I'm pretty sure there's a lot of unresolved bullshit that is unresolved on purpose, and the last thing I need is to be reminded of it every time I look in a fucking mirror."
He said folding his arms looking into the ocean.

Leif smiled sadly, and nodded. She understood that. Turning her attention back to the sky, she watched the stars as they twinkled. She looked in the mirror, and every time... she saw her mother's eyes, or her father's smile. She saw the memories of who she used to be, and all of the blood that stained her hands. It was a miserable existence.
"I stopped looking in a mirror for a long time..." she murmured softly, then sighed. She wasn't going to press him any further.
Pointing up to the moon, she continued on, her voice quiet.
"I was on the run for a long time, and every night, I would look up at the moon and the stars and I felt... better, somehow. Like I still kind of knew who I was. Here, the moon looks... the same. It's probably the only thing in this damned world that is the same. The only thing that is anything like home. And I don't know if that's a good thing or not."

Drake would look up to the moon and wonder the same.
"I... don't know..."
He sighed.
"I'll be honest with you... I don't much care for the quiet of this world."

"It feels unnatural, in a way. Like the calm before a storm, or something..."
Leif hadn't spent much time out of her apartment, but that much had been clear to her since her first day.
"I can't tell if I'm just used to waiting for the other shoe to drop, or if there is actually an 'other shoe'."

He nodded.
"Its agonizing. Being filled with the anxiety. I'm ready and willing to fight... but I'm tired of all of this... fake silence... it's meaningless."
