Video | January 3rd

[buyeverything]

I've got a question for the peanut gallery, is this whole changing appearance thing the usual here?

[Because he woke up today looking like he should, not like some fresh faced twenty year old any longer. Now he's got a problem on his hands, possibly. The video shows off his mid thirties look, which honestly isn't that different from when he was younger, hairline up a fraction, a lot more tired looking, hair a bit thinner a billion wrinkles.]

I'm getting the feeling I should start to worry if I'm gonna wake up looking ninety years old one day. Reassure a guy won't you?

[To continue pretending to be mentally in his early twenties or not, that is the question.]

While it probably would have looked good on paper for you, you made the right choice not doing it. He'd have talked your damn ear off.

[No biggie. Just the head of the Adler family.]

In lesser words. Yes.

[tearsinajar]

That's part of the job. I'm sure he could've told me a few stories about you. Unfortunately I had another project I needed to work out at the time, I wasn't even in the States at that time.

[ And she wasn't going to drop the leads she had on Zoran Lazarevic either. ]

Other than joining him and his brother, I wonder what gave him that impression about you.

[buyeverything]

Okay so I apparently dodged a bullet.

[Please do not talk to his father about him. Don't make him pull out baby pictures.]

Look, I don't know what Nate had against me beyond getting cozy with his brother and buying our way into jail, but he didn't care for me. Guess being some young rich asshole rubbed him the wrong way.

[tearsinajar]

Most fathers are proud of their kids. I'm sad that I missed out on a lot where that interview was concerned.

[ But...but baby pictures. ]

I highly doubt that had anything to do with it.

[buyeverything]

Proud sure, more he expected a lot and I was really good at delivering.

[No. No baby pictures.]

Well I don't know what else could have rubbed him the wrong way, I mean first things first. We've had our differences now and all, but right off...

[He just shrugs. It was the rich boy butting in on him and his brother, ok. He knows it is. He knows.]

[tearsinajar]

Well, you kept up. That's all that matters.

From my understanding, Nate didn't have much growing up. He had his brother, that was it. But when you said earlier that you were getting cozy with his brother, did that mean... you and... him...?

[ Her little hand gesture should finish up that question just nicely. ]

[buyeverything]

[A soft shrug.]

Mm, sure. I won't complain though, life has been good for me after all.

[You know, beyond DYING. Rafe's brows slowly inch up his forehead as Elena definitely asks him if Sam and him were an item. The hand gesture just gets a laugh, because it's hilarious really.]

Should I be consulting my publicist first before answer this?

[As for if him and Sam actually did anything.................. the world may never know.]

[tearsinajar]

That was going a little too deep wasn't it? Sorry.

[ But Elena laughs along with him. ]

I mean, we're talking about my brother-in-law here. A brother-in-law whom I've never met and had never known about until recently. And if we ever get home, there's the chance that I'll get to meet him.

[buyeverything]

And here I thought you weren't like all the other journalists.

[Asking about his sex life, shameful. He says it entirely in jest of course.]

And no, no it wasn't like that with Sam.

[... well, who knows, it could have been. He's not telling, but at least back then when they were younger it certainly wasn't, even if he'd been impressed by the older Drake. Definitely taken notice of him.

He starts to say something else when her words actually hit him, going through his head again and he looks confused. Wait she knew Sam wasn't dead? Clearly by this point he'd figured out that along with Nate, Elena was probably back some years from the whole fiasco that he'd come from.]

Wait what?

[It's easy to play confused right now, as he's surprised Nate told her if that's what he's getting from this.]

Uh, you realize Sam is dead right? You don't come back from being dead.
