Drake gave a small laugh at her first words, "We have to remember we're still mortal, as much as our brain tells us otherwise." He said before he glanced at his shoulder blade. "I feel okay, yeah." He said with a nod, "It's healing, not bleeding at least."

He listened to her words before he sighed, "Honestly we need to find out why they caught us." He said with a frown, "They didn't kill us outright, which could only mean there's something more sinister." He felt his brow furrow before he looked back towards where they came from.

"I'm the last of my kind, I don't know if there would be any sort of mass extinction without me being alive..." Drake started before he gave a bit of a stretch, "The Elder's don't want me dead any time soon, otherwise they wouldn't have saved my life the times they have." He gave a weak chuckle before he settled his eyes back on the woman.
"And I'm guessing you're the last ancient Vampire?" He asked, his eyes looking at hers, a serious tone in his voice. The tone of his voice made it hard to distinguish why he was asking; be it for knowledge in case he planned to kill her, or something else.

“Yeah, I suppose we can be killed. Granted it’s difficult but…” Chuckling slightly herself as she folded her arms looking over at his shoulder blade when he mentioned it was alright. Thankfully it had stopped bleeding, which was a positive, but it had yet to start healing.

“More sinister? Like what exactly? Trying to breed the two most ancient species?” Iris scoffed making a light joke of the events. “Honestly, I reckon they wanted us to fight, perhaps they wanted us to turn on each other, cause a war?” Sighing as she raised her hand to her forehead rubbing it gently, “I don’t know. I wish I knew what they wanted.”

Looking back towards Drake as he spoke about being the last of his kind, listening to his words he spoke of elders which meant he had some sort of council much like she did. Perhaps they could be useful to consult with? “I don’t know about being the last, I assume so.” As much as she didn’t want to give out this peace of information in case he used it to his advantage she thought it was best to put some form of trust in him, they had after all helped each other escape and were both in the same situation. “The last I heard of my brother he went underground for protection but I believe he is dead.”

Drake froze up as Iris mentioned about breeding a Vampire and Werebeast together before he gave a chuckle, "Yeah, probably some sort of war between our kind. Get us to kill each other off and then the Hunters can take down the stragglers." He said with a small nod, furrowing his brow move before he looked back at her as she mentioned family.

He frowned a bit more before he realised they didn't really introduce themselves.
"Where are my manners..." He started before he stepped towards iris and offered his hand. "My name is Drake, I suppose we're stuck working together for a bit." He said with a small smile, "We'll be stronger if we work together."
"I'm sorry that you've potentially lost your brother." He said with a bow of his head.
