"Pieces are falling into place but I can't step back far enough to see the big picture. Something is still missing." Kisa smiled to Ren and then stopped whatever she was going to say, not wanting to talk in front of the other boy. She studied him around Ren's shoulder, as something in the back of her mind tickling that he wasn't right kept her wary. She'll try to puzzle it out later, she decided, since it wasn't like he'd done anything to her to make her feel oddly about him. She ducked a bit as the towel went through the air, just out of reflex, and grinned at it hanging, shifting a bit from one foot to the other as she waited as patiently as she knew how.
Drake nodded carefully, his expression somewhat guarded for an instant before it faded into a smile. "Yeah, well. I was a little worried that I'd done something to tick you off. You know. When you killed the floor. I'm uh.. sorry about throwing you, I don't really have a grip on what I can and can't do yet." He pushed a hand through his hair and gave Ren a sheepish look before casting his eyes to the floor for a minute and then looked back up, something strange in his expression. "It's not easy, is it." With that, he tipped his head slightly to the side and grinned before turning around and walking off, a hand raised to wave backwards as he went out the door. "See ya around."
Kisa flicked an ear uncertainly and focused on big bad again. "So what's been goin on with you? I haven't seen hide nor hair of.. well, of anyone since lunch yesterday."
