[i]“They’re not as bad as you might think . . . maybe I’ll let you try them on later, you could do with some extra height,” she joked in a sultry voice.[/i]

Drake huffed at her response, though in a more playful then offended way, "I won't be so short for long." Drake commented with a grin before returning his attention to the rest of the group, he took note of the rest of allies, the monster of a vampire Mithias, Baron the, well, whatever he is, Atlas the rude vampire with the knives, and Jaklo the hunter.

[i]“It’s moving, it’s actually walking, and I don’t think it’s a mage anymore.” Jaklo shouted rushing back to the group, “Whatever this is it’s a lot bigger than we thought. We should try to get a closer look so investigations knows what we are dealing with.”

Drake grinned with excitement as according to what Jacklo had said, it sounded as if they were up against a monster, which happened to be Drake's favorite [s]prey[/s] challenge. He readied his massive half ton axe with an easy grip to the side, however he became distracted.

Upon seeing the burning cauldron, Drake's eyes lit up like a child at Christmas morning. His thoughts momentarily left of the threat ahead and instead dove straight into the cauldron that likely would burn any mortal flesh upon contact from its heat, however Drake seemed unharmed as he entered, and would remove his helmet with a relaxed expression. His eyes closed and a small smile on his face as he remained in the protective heat of the cauldron, Mithias's heat provided the bare minimum protection, my own heat expends my energy, the cauldron, however, provided a perfect scenario of heat and relaxation, despite what would most imagine would be an uncomfortable position, the heat was too alluring for me to care.
"I think I'll stay in here for a little bit, I'll catch up don't worry." He said half asleep and barely paying attention to reality.
