[ At least Ephemera's speaking again, Drake thinks, though the signing was a handy way around not trusting his voice. He nods, even as he's mentally kicking himself -- he's still new, he's got to get a job and make connections and figure out what the fuck is going on around here, not just linger around an alternate version of someone he already knows. But it feels like he's needed, and Drake's always been there for anyone who needed him. This was stupidly complicated, unbalanced and dangerous and potentially very painful, but he was in it now. It'd be worse for them both if he bailed now, right? Or is he justifying it to himself however he can?

Shit. Where's Lance when Drake needs him most? ]

Yeah. I can stay. You feeling like discussion or distraction?
