Drew was trying to apologize. Didn't she see that? Apparently not but how was he supposed to tell her that when all she wanted to do was fight him? "Look," He said trying to salvage what he could of the situation. "What you said really got under my skin and I got mad. I didn't mean to hurt you I just…” He just what? He was just living with a death sentence and he didn't want her to know? He just didn't have time for other people when he could leave them at any moment or get so sick that they had to take care of him? He just didn't want her mad at him? Yeah it was all of those things but those were the same things that he didn’t want to tell her. "I'm just not the person you need to be hanging around."

He knew it wasn’t the right thing to say. She needed an explanation, deserved one in fact, but it was something that he couldn’t give. It was a mistake. Everything with this girl was a mistake. He should have cut his losses with her and gone on about whatever time he had left here except for some reason he thought he could fix this. He was wrong and if anything he was only digging himself in deeper. “I shouldn't have come over. Look I'm sorry you’re pissed but it's obvious I can't fix this. You and your cat deserve better than that.”

Drew played with his lighter as he walked down the path from the cabins. He was definitely not thinking about a girl that he had upset a few nights ago. At least that's what he was telling himself but right now it seemed like the more he tried to get her out of his head the more she seemed to claw her way back in. She had been cute and funny in a sarcastic way that he liked, he had even been having a good time but he had taken things too far, tried to back off and she had called him on it.

As frustrating as it was to be called out for being a jerk it was even worse when it was for the wrong reasons. She simply didn’t understand, no one did or could, that was the problem but instead of telling her that he had gotten mad and then she had gotten mad and gods damn it all he needed a cigarette. The only issue there however was that there weren’t really a lot of places to smoke in camp. So here he was wandering around trying to find a good spot when he happened to pass by the big house and see the source of his current malaise sitting right there on the porch.

Drew frowned. As much as he was angry at the girl he recognized that he was partly to blame too. He had been just as judgy and presumptuous as she had been in the end and even though he was still pissed at her it was kind of his fault for being a jerk. So he stood there for a moment not really knowing what he should do. If he tried to walk by her now he would probably just get yelled at and while that wasn’t really anything he was worried about he was pretty tired of thinking about this mess. With that in mind he realized there was really only one thing to do so he slipped his lighter into his pocket and walked over. "So that's the killer huh? Did you decide not to send him after me or are you just trying to give me a false sense of security?"

Drew huffed a throaty chuckle at her description of him. Moody and mysterious she called him and maybe she was into that sort of thing, some girls were he knew, but unfortunately for both of them that wasn’t the hand Drew had been dealt in life. Perhaps if things had been different then they could have been friends, maybe even more, but not when his life literally hung by a thread. It was easier for both of them this way even if he couldn’t quite explain it to her.

“Well there’s your problem. I’m definitely not a nice guy. Sorry to disappoint.” He tore his gaze away from her and leaned over to look at the waves again. He felt a little bad having to shut down on her like this as he did think that they had been getting along pretty well and had been enjoying himself but maybe knowing that he wasn’t one of the good guys would help her realize that he was someone she should stay away from. “In fact, it’s probably smart to go ahead and send Zeke after me right now. It would save you some time in the long run.”

"Oh? I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open until I find out what it is." Drew didn't know what Viv was hinting at with that comment but he didn't really have a bad opinion of himself. He didn't have enough time to put that much stock in what others thought about him but he was a little curious nonetheless. "Unless you decide to clue me in on it that is. It would certainly make things easier in the long run. Otherwise I'll have to ask Zeke myself when I meet him."

He chuckled at the thought of Chiron being in on her little conspiracy of taking out campers. If that was the case at least things would be a little more interesting around camp. It was too bad that things couldn't be that simple. "Well I imagine most of them deserve it anyways. Maybe you'll decide to keep me around for a little while if I promise to play nice. It's not a promise I give lightly I can tell you that."

Drew was quickly tiring of this girl and her grandiose claims. He had come out her to escape his problems for a while not have some obviously delusional and probably insane usurper girl try to frighten him with empty promises and meaningless threats. What was she trying to prove anyways? He didn’t know and he really didn’t care but the sooner he could be done with this conversation the better. If anything she was showing herself more of a threat to their overall goal than she was to him. “I have my reasons.” He said refusing to let the girl get to him. “And I couldn’t care less about whatever it is you think you have to prove.”

This girl was getting on his nerves but something she said did take him a little off guard. He knew about the plan with the Kraken, had even done his part to make sure things went smoothly when the time came, but what else was the girl talking about? Was this just another attempt to get him to break or did she really know something else that was going on here that not everyone was privy to? That got under his skin just a little but Drew made sure to carefully keep his thoughts guarded and his face expressionless. “Yeah? Well good luck with that. Until then keep your psychotic fantasies to yourself. That last thing we need is some whack job girl with delusions of grandeur running around and causing problems.”

Drew rolled his eyes. Hannah was precisely the type of person he despised. She didn't know the slightest thing about him yet all she was concerned about was getting in a pissing match over who was the baddest of them all like it was some kind of badge of honor. Drew wasn't interested in that but it was one of the things that had him worried about the Usurpers. There were too many people here who only seemed to be a part of the group to cause mayhem and sometimes it felt like he was the only one here who was really trying to do what they were recruited for in the first place which was casting down the gods.

"Cut the melodrama." Drew said coldly. "It's embarrassing, not intimidating." Personally Drew didn't care what kind of nightmares this girl thought she had caused. He lived a nightmare worse than anything Hannah could concoct and the only thing less impressive then the girl's claims was the apparent size of her ego. "Get over yourself. We have bigger things to worry about than talking about spooky we think we are. If you can't see that maybe you should go steal some candy from a little kid since you're so concerned about looking evil.”

"Butterflies and puppies?" Drew asked with a hint of smirk in his voice. "Better not let that get out or it’s really going to ruin that queen of darkness reputation you've got going on." He wasn't sure about Viv's reasoning on the whole butterfly theory but he was willing to let her run with it. The son of Thanatos wasn't really one who opened up to a lot of people so maybe he was a bigger part of the problem than he liked to admit. Granted he couldn't really afford to get close to others when the only thing in his future was death. How irresponsible would that be to put someone through the trouble of getting to know him when he didn’t know if he would be here next year or next month for that matter? No, it was better to go at it alone. It had worked well for him so far in any case. “As for which I like, I’m more of a cat person so maybe that’s the problem.”

Drew listened and shrugged. He couldn’t really say much about being a kid of the Big Three. He was sure they were probably just as sucky at parenting as his dad was so there was no argument there. All the kids here got the short end of the stick in that regard. He also wasn’t really interested in getting into an argument about who had it worse. The guy with the terminal illness always won that one anyways. Instead he decided to answer the girl’s question albeit without getting into the real reason he was out here. “The same as you I suppose. Couldn’t sleep and didn’t want to be around the others in camp. This seemed like the best alternative.”
