"Yeah that panned out well when you faced Mathew didn't it?" she shook her head. "I mean right now, as you are, if you had anything to say to him or anything to ask... Would you like to?"

Drake would glare at Avice when she made a fair point about Mathew. However he would think about her question in earnest...
"Honestly, the only thing I feel, is a strong desire to punch him. In the face."

"Let me guess that's exactly what you did when you faced Mathew... How well did that work out for you?" She sighed. "Raikotsu may be the weaker of the Dragons but a Dragon he still be. More so you don't just pick up the titles you get them by approval. So to become a Bloody Dragon it meant he passed their tests. If that man stood right fucking here... right now would you have a few choice words to say? After all these years wouldn't you want an explanation, even as you are beating his face in don't you want to know why it was you who had to sleep alone and cold while he was in a castle in his own territory that you could have been the successor for or here protected and fed by those who care?"
She looked away... suddenly realizing that might have been a bit more personal than she originally wanted it to be.

Drake turned around to glare at Avice. Who the hell was she to think she had a right to-
"Quite frankly, I. Don't. Care. Whatever reason he had for not being around doesn't really matter. The only thing that does, is the fact he wasn't. But even then so what? What proof is there that life would've been better with him around? For all I know he would've beat me too, only he would've called it training to not feel bad about it. That seems like a very Dragon thing to do."
Drake would spit.
"As for the Earth Dragon, I felt the desire to kill him, after he almost took my head off with a rock for calling him 'Gramps'. Don't get me wrong, I would've wanted to kill him anyways, but if I needed any justification, he gave it to me on a silver platter."

"So you would choose to remain ignorant about this... Piss poor excuse you tell yourself. You just don't want to be proven wrong. Good luck in this world thinking you have a right to have your way as if your time is due for it. You'll be meeting your "Sperm donor" where he may be far too soon." she scoffed. "You ought to know people better; as if you could get a lucky shot on Mathew, you were a fool to think so. You'll not have a chance when facing Rai, or Kentler should he choose to fight you over wanting claim to this Clan... you'll likely be hard-pressed against someone like me even. My advice... Do not make yourself anymore fucking diluted by shooting down your chances."
She would almost BET that Raikotsu has no idea this kid exists, the mother presumably made efforts to keep it that way. For whatever reasons she had she almost felt she owed it to Rai to at least let Drake know of what he was dealing with. He can't say she didn't warn him now but If all is right then this boy wasn't going to last if he remained naive by choice.

"So tell me then. What exactly would I gain by knowing why he wasn't around hmm? I don't hate him because I was abandoned. I hate him because he is a Dragon. How does any excuse for him not being around change the fact that he is a Dragon?"
He would take a step closer to Avice.
"And yeah, I did find out just how weak I am after confronting the Earth Dragon. That's why I'm here. To gain strength. And this is just one out of the few places I plan to visit."
Shaking his head he would chuckle humorlessly.
"I realize that I can't achieve my goals as I am, therefore I'm making the effort to change that so that I can achieve my goals. Understand this, Avice, I'm not looking for a quick bandaid fix. I'm in this for the long haul. I will work to myself to the bone to get what I want. I never expected it to be easy or handed to me. So keep your assumptions about me to yourself if you don't understand shit about me."
He would start to walk off again when he stopped and turn back around.
"I may seem to you that I expect the world to be handed to me. But I don't, I don't expect shit to be handed to me. Nothing in my life has been given to me, everything I've ever gotten I've worked for. The only difference here is that because it's my inheritance I have a valid reason for fighting to get it. Because it's my right to inherit it, I will not back down until I've done everything I can to take what's mine."

She threw her hands above her head.
"Then, thank goodness you are not a dumb as you sound!" she exhaled in relief. "You could have delivered that a lot better than what you walked in with. Carry on..." she would follow as he would continue to walk while they looked for Kentler
She was sure that was going to be confusing as hell. She didnt mind though. All Drakes snide remarks were nothing, all she wanted to hear was this kid not making a death march into his grandfather's blades and fists. She can handle the snide and snark it was her bread and butter.
"Although to answer your question... Dragons might not wholly be your enemy. Maybe not your friend or ally... I think I am saying is, I can almost bet that if you were to speak with that blood dragon it might fill in some gaps." she had no idea the story that laid there but she had a gut feeling either way. "Whether you care to know of it or not I feel your anger towards dragons is not entirely your own."

"Hating the Dragons is what I inherited from the birth giver. That and beatings. So, just as I'm going to take what's mine that came from the Sperm Donor's inheritance. I have claimed my Hatred for the Dragon's myself."
Drake would say bluntly.

She wasn't sure how that made sense but she didn't think it would make much of a difference in the long run either.
"Anger no matter the source is a good drive for me. Its easy to hold onto and it is easy to use." she let out a heavy breath once more. That was when it was just her she had to think about though... She was learning to survive a long game rather than surviving the day. The glass cannon needed to become more resilient. Hence her current training...

Drake would nod.
"That is something we can agree on. Anger can keep you going when nothing else will."
At least that is what had kept him going. If there was another way... well, he had never known it.

What Drake had never known Avice might have found and be trying to figure out. There was a lot she was trying to sort through, plan, and make sense of. Ominous feelings on the horizon or possible futures she fears coming to fruition. Wondering when Prota would find her... She couldn't help but admit that would be her worst nightmare. Even if she wanted to trust Barker's handy work she wasn't keen on ever having it actually tested especially when it comes to Derik.
"Not much gets me going more that people acting like I am the lesser being. I just want to pop their ego bubble by driving my boot heel in their cheek... Always been the quickest way to make me volatile." hands down and no brainer.

Drake would smile with a chuckle!
"That's two things we can agree on. Always those that think they are high and mighty, looking down at you from the tip of their nose. Drives me up a wall. I want nothing more than to put them in their place and show them just how high and mighty they truly aren't."
As he said this he would clench his fist. Already Mathew was back on his mind, and it was pissing him off.

She kept her head low and grinned from amusement. She tried to think if they had some kind of relative of the past generations that would explain how much alike they might be. But without knowing her own family history there wasn't much to think of with that. It was just a case of how similarly they grew up causing similar views on the world to be made. Then again since Prota Brainwashed her she has seeds of what memories her mind created to make sense with what she believed at the time. There was going to be little she could do to sort some of that out. But it wasn't hard for her mind to make up those memories for they were not far from the original truth.
"How about we go back to figuring out who had the shittier childhood?" she chuckled. "You first..."

Drake shook his head.
"No no, I already spilled enough of my business. You gotta share if you want more of the behind the scenes access."

She hummed a nod of agreement. "... Fair enough." she gave it thought. "We didn't get much food it was absolutely "donated" at best but I swear about fifty percent of my diet was fungus, slime, and bugs." she finger quoted where it was needed. "Bigger children have bite and claw marks because they'd think I was someone who would let them take my portions. I never shared..."
