At least he gets it.
Reeve notices he was not followed or contacted. He sips his water thoughtfully, considering Fen as well. He really hadn't been fair to her. Oh, well, since when did fairness matter? Especially to her? The water begins to taste bitter in his mouth.

*Drake's thoughts wandered to Reeve. He considered the fact that perhaps he wasn't be ignored out of spite, but for someother reason. Maybe Reeve wasn't well?*
Thoughtful? Am I being thoughtful? Was I... kind? Caring? Well... if not... why not now? It... it feels right...
*Drake wondered if he was a kind person. He couldn't recall exactly how he acted before, but some things just felt right... and... the thoughts he just had felt very much like something inside him was awakening.*
Reeve... you... you okay?
*Drake's voice called out, all though Drake didn't stir from his seat*
((*Is hit by a flying tackle* Why if it isn't Nyl! Long time. ^_____^ 've missed ya!))

"Fine as ever, Sensei."
It wasn't quite sarcasm, more like the opposite of emotion.
"You don't seem yourself, though."

((I think it's the other way around, actually. Where've you been?))
Nyl came in the front door, brushing snow off her shoulders and smiling. She loved it when it snowed. It made her feel more like herself.

Reeve sips at the glass of water, then gazes out the window reflectively. The singing voice that follows isn't dead or hollow, but full of the emotions that Reeve used to convey.
"I go to the cairn, and mourn and weep
To satisfy and endless sleep.
I write her a letter, just a few short lines,
And suffer death, ten thousand times.
Black is the colour
Of my true love's hair.
Her lips are like a rose so fair..."

((Sorry... my archnemesis dial up decided to bully me there for a second. Haha... yeah... sorry... school's been freaking weird this year. Academically and otherwise. Been hard to keep up. Love life has been as impossible as ever and there've been a couple of death's in the family... and then physics has been the ever pounding hammer on the nail that is my head. How've you been? It's been most literally too long ^_^))
Ah...
*Drake sensed the lack of emotion in Reeve's voice*
I'm good as gold! Eheheheh...
*One of the first things Drake had recalled was his sense of humor. As dry as it oftentimes was, he found it refreshing to use. He felt alive again.*
... but... you sure you're all right? You seem... different...
*Drake thought hard to remember his old friend and students disposition*
.. quite the opposite of normal actually...

Nyl heard voices coming from the kitchen and followed them, stopping in the doorway. It was Reeve who was speaking, and something about his poem sounded very familiar. She waved to him, and also to...
...Drake?!

~ Let's just say I'm feeling sick, sensei.~
He trails off singing, unable to remember the end of it, much though he loves the song. Watching the snowflakes tumble down in an arctic dance, he sighs heavily.

Ah, okay... but don't hesitate to ask if you nee-
*Drake cut off midsentence as he felt a familiar chakra coming closer. He didn't need to remember who it belonged to. The name came automatically.*
Nyl
*He got from his spot and ran over to Nyl, embracing her close. There had only been one person with whom his memories hadn't been hard to remember. He remembered exactly how he felt concerning her. And he had missed her. The one person he was still certain about. He just hugged her tightly and said nothing for a few seconds before letting go and looking her in the eyes as if it had been decades since he had last seen her.*
Nyl...

She hugged him back, for once happy to see someone she hadn't in a while. "Hey Drake. What brings you back here? ...For that matter, what took you away?" She tried to look stern, arms crossed, but it didn't really work - she was grinning.
~Reeve...you want any tea?~

Reeve feels somehow nearly infuriated by the reunion. Then again, he wasn't involved so of course it's happy. He reaches out to the window and traces the name "D A L C O N" in the condensation. Writing " S A R Y A" below, he fills in the spaces between the L in the first and the S in the second. " L O S T."
~No, thanks.~
He moves to the kitchen table and puts his head down, resting.
(( Guys, I gotta sleep. Finals tomorrow))

My... my mind is broken. And don't say you can't break something you lost long ago... eheh... heh.
*Drake smiled and stared into Nyl's eyes.*
That's what kept me away... I never remembered here in the first place... but... but then I remembered a face... yours. And then the name came... and the memories. You... were all I remembered. And then... my wanderings ended when I came here... because... my feet led me. My thoughts of you... led me here. And as soon as I walked in... memories... came flooding back. But some feelings were wrong... and most memories... were hard to... were hard to recall. There were two voices in my head for a while... but... one faded away. I made it. The things it said were... evil... bad. I remembered trying to seal it away once... but... it came back... but it's gone again... for now. I told it to leave. But... now... I can't... my... my mind's broken, Nyl...
*Drake paused for a moment, his eyes began to water.*
Nngh... it... it sucks. Eheh... behold... the... the mighty Drake Marabou... eheh... haha... eheh.

"I lost my mind long before anyone else did. I think I'm starting to lose it again." She raised an eyebrow at him. "You don't sound broken to me. Just a little...behind, I think."
