"Sure sure, I understand." She nodded quickly, "I didn't mean it as an offense." She huffed. "I know things a different here than my home. I'll the hang of it soon enough." She added, lightening her tone with a slight chuckle at the end. "And yeah, I'll eventually get a blade in the future." Beta chimed thoughtfully. Quietly shook her head slightly, finishing off her meat before looking towards the sky again. "Do you know the time?" She asked, turning her gaze from the darkening sky towards Draig.

Draig waves his hand apologetically "No no no you're fine! No offense taken. I am just making sure you are aware of how things are here. I don't want you getting misguided or poisoned or stolen away or something." Upon being inquired about the time a teal hologram screen shows up on the back of Draig's left hand, which he then presses a few buttons on and directs his palm into the space before them. A hologram appears indication it to be 5:13pm and that the moon phase is near full. "Should be a pretty bright night. Especially with all these artificial lights around." Draig groans.

Beta looked away awkwardly, cringing slightly, "Oh, cool-" She huffed simply, turning back after several heartbeats, "Yeah I'd prefer to not have that happen. I'd probably," She lowered her voice, "get lost and get mugged or something." Beta chuckled awkwardly but went quiet when she looked over and took notice of the hologram. "Woah-" She breathed, mostly to herself, "That's really cool-" She grinned slightly. "I've never seen a hologram watch type thing before. We had a hologram table back home, but this is small." She narrowed her eyes against it before turning back to the taller when he said the time. "Ah- Thanks!"

Draig nods slowly with a sad look on his face. "The innocent suffer to feed perverse appetites of the cruel and the wicked. Such is the way of the concrete jungle." Draig says softly as his eyes glaze over for a moment. Beta's fascination with the tech snaps him back into reality however. "Yeah! When we get you a suit of armor, we can have a computer system installed with a Heads Up Display H.U.D. installed! It does allll kinds of cool shit! It even provides a cross-hair when I shoot or throw something and can even show predicted blast radius's when I use explosives! See when you pick something up, if you got a good one it'll scan it and tell you what it can do. With the right medical software it can tell you if stuff has been poisoned even!" His tail wags as the conversation steers towards things he actually know's something about. One could gather its these few instances he doesn't feel useless.

Beta grinned, leaning away from the watch. "Oh cool... I've never really had a suit of armor that did that... Or- Well ever," She chuckled awkwardly, "But that's not the point, these look really cool!" She chimed, tone obviously intrigued and warm. "Soon I should get some armor." Beta huffed thoughtfully, eyes flickering with some sort of emotion even she couldn't really decipher. "You seemed to know a lot about these things?" Beta cocked her head, "I bet they're really complicated." She snickered slightly, "I'd never be able to wrap my head around that kind of tech."

Draig smiles warmly and chuckles softly a Beta and her reactions. "Well soon you will yes, can later today if you want." Upon her inquiring as to if he knows a lot about the tech he can't help but be amused. "No no, I have just used them and seen them used a lot, as you say they are VERY complicated. I am just slightly above average intelligence and thats probably just because I've lived for so long." Draig thinks to himself a moment and the nods "Yeah thats probably what it is. Humans are lucky to live to 100 years. I am 260 years old now, heading to 261. Some days I feel it, hopefully I never look it."

Beta made an 'oh' expression, and shortly after gave a curt nod. "Ah, well that makes sense. Well, you probably know more than me nonetheless," She chuckled slightly, bringing one of her paws up to her mouth slightly. "And what? Woah-" She stared, almost in disbelief. "That's pretty cool," She grinned suddenly. "You don't look much older than my brother," Beta nodded, comparing the male to Carson. "He's just a bit older than I," Beta tacked after.

Draig laughs heartily "That much of a surprised eh? Just wait till you meet a few of the elves here. Some of them are waaay older than me. Brother though you say?" Draig's eyes quickly flicker around the area checking for signs of movement or threats. Draig takes a deep breath and sighs as he realizes he should know better than to expect an ambush or trick. "He is not around is he? He didn't come with you that is? Draig asks ever so softly as he turns his head away and stares into the ground.

"Oh woah, I've never met any elves. I'd like to." The dame smiled slightly. Although, once Draig inquired about Carson, the smile fell. Beta bit her teeth together, tensing and leaning away. "No no... He's didn't come with me." She explained dryly, closing her eyes for a moment before shaking her head and letting out a sharp exhale. "Anyhow," She stood up, "Best not talk about my family. Why don't we go look for some sort of armor?" She suggested.

Draig's head noticeably lowers, as does his ears, as his whole body seems to close in making the large man look much smaller as his tail tucks between his legs and coils up. "I'm sorry." He whispers and is silent a moment. Draig closes his eyes and sits there in silence for a moment as he reflects on the ones that have been lost, and tries to push the thoughts away. Upon being successful he nods and wears a fake smile. "Well I guess you're gunna meet an elf after all. Eva sometimes carries armor. I'd rather check to see if she has any before we go to one of Rahjah's establishment's, I don't trust that guy at all." Draig slowly stands up and gestures her Beta to follow back the way they came.

Beta stared solemnly at the male for a moment, looking to the ground until he stood up. Beta couldn't help but take notice of the behavior of him, like a sudden mood swing. The bionic frowned, "Sorry, I didn't mean..." She trailed off shaking her head and very gently reached out and nudged his arm. "Hang in there," She stepped past him, giving him a halfhearted, sympathetic smile.

Draig stops and turns, giving Beta a faint smile with eyes full of remembrance, pain and sympathy. “Here in The Drag, we all have something we don’t wanna remember, that we are running from, or trying to move away from. I should’ve know better than to ask because I’ve been alone for so long myself. My friends, my family, my children, my world. It’s all gone. Take that from a man and what does he really have left? That’s what you see. Villian's aren't born, Beta. They are made. They are the ones who couldn't find a way to deal with what has happened. They are the ones who were left behind as there wasn't enough love to go around.” He says softly, not resentful at all but instead understanding all too well why Beta reacted the way she did, and instantly forgave her.

Beta offered back a sympathetic smile. “I understand you’ve been through hard times, but as you said so has everyone else. What I mean is that we’re here for you, even just me- who’ve you just. And I mean that whole heartedly.” She mumbled, trying to be optimistic and reassuring. Still, she couldn’t help but drop her hand, and look away. Carefully, she sealed, “Just don’t give up, alright?” She mumbled, eyes glazing for a moment before she shut them for a moment. When she opened her purple eyes again, they returned back to normal, despite a rather distant glint to them.

Draig puffs a cloud of icy air from his nostrils as he pulls his gun closer to him, as if its almost so form of security blanket for the large man. "As you say." Is all he solemnly replies as he gestures for Beta to follow with his left hand and begins walking. After a few steps he takes a deep breath. "We should do this quickly. Eva may not have the armor and we should get you in some ASAP. Then we still have to build you a shelter if that is the route you wish to take." He says, his mannerisms and tone slowly filling back out into what is typical of Draig.

Beta nodded slowly, almost needing a full second or two to regain stability. But, after just a heartbeat more she stepped up beside him. “Yeah yeah...” she huffed, tracing the indents of the bionic parts of her right shoulder paw. “Lead the way,” The dame replied simply, looking up at him before back to the ground. “Let’s see what this Eva is all about,” Beta chuckled lightly, trying to lighten the mood, which to her seemed almost suffocating. “And then sure, we can look into getting a temporary shelter.” It was probably the best she get a shelter as soon a possible, from the way it felt now, it’d most likely get freezing during the night.
