Taking in a deep breath, Kat let it out slowly and gave Eric a nod when he mentioned that they should just go take a nap. Admittedly a small part of her was beginning to want him to shut it (mostly for him saying he should shut it) as well but she didnâ€™t say anything or allow any subtle hints of that to appear on her face. As far as food went she really was not feeling too hungry anymore and her tiredness was completely overriding the fact that she hadnâ€™t had anything to eat practically all day. Having no food n her stomach was probably contributing to her fatigue, she was aware of that, but she really should get some rest and then grab something to eat after. In spite of this she was actually a little torn between heading back to her room and taking a nice long nap or grabbing a bite to eat with Eric.<br/><br/>What made matters worse was the fact the captain decided to confront them personally. Out of immediate reaction she stood from her seat and gave a quick salute. She winced when she did, her shoulder bothering her again.<br/><br/>Kat scowled at the captain as soon as he started scolded them even though she knew he was right. They really should be resting especially because she was beginning to get more and more fired up along with being a bit fatigued. She snorted; it wasnâ€™t really a noise, instead it was something similar to a bull exhaling heavily through its nose, just to show how livid she was. This sort of attitude was exactly what got her in trouble in the past and she knew that. This little scolding was really not something she wanted after having been in trouble already, and then having idiots take advantage of her punishment. It was needless to say that she was beyond frustrated right now to the point where it was difficult for her to find a response that would not get her in any more trouble than she was right now.<br/><br/>Sighing softly she lowered her head apologetically, allowing some more of her frustration to subside. Then, through gritted teeth, she spoke in a murmur, â€œSorryâ€¦ Youâ€™re absolutely right that I should be resting.â€ She kept her bad mood suppressed but still her tiredness shone through in spite. Here was where an argument would usually start. It was funny, when Kat first was brought in to the military she really wanted nothing to do with it and did all she could to try and get out, which Riddick had remedied pretty quickly. Now she followed orders like any other soldier even if she still had her bad temper and tended to overwork herself and not rest as much as she should, changing from that rebellious brat to someone willing to put her life on the line. Kat listened more than she use to and knew when she needed to just hold her tongue.<br/><br/>â€œI was the one who arranged for Eric and I to meet up. I should have thought more about resting since we technically could see each other any time we wantedâ€¦â€ She really was not sure why she decided to take the blame, it probably wasnâ€™t necessary, but it was something she felt she needed to do, perhaps to avoid trouble. As much as she wanted to add more she decided to just leave it at that.<br/><br/>-----------------<br/><br/>How long has it been since he has last done work for the military? It had to be at least few years at most, definitely, before he went AWOL and ultimately had gotten kicked out.<br/><br/>To be completely honest Ryan never thought he would be setting foot on a space ship again and he never had the intentions of doing so either. When Murdock had requested his presence so quickly it not only surprised the hell out of him but amused him as well. Maybe he shouldnâ€™t really be that surprised, considering the whole mess with the Gendahl feel still not quite resolved. He really did not want anything to do with that but they seemed pretty desperate and he knew better than to just not show up when summoned by the military. Murdock had been generous not to throw him in cuffs when they met, this was the least he could do as a thanks. He just wished that he didnâ€™t have to be the militaryâ€™s dog again, that there could be something else he could do, after all he had decided to get himself kicked out for a reason.<br/><br/>Before leaving Ryan had even taken the liberty of shaving and dressing in his best clothes just so he didnâ€™t look like he had been plucked off of the street. He even decided to neatly comb his hair before he came instead of just running a hand through it to flatten it after he bathed. Murdock had better appreciate that, he doesnâ€™t get dressed up for just anyone. This was just proof that once your name was in the military, you were stuck there until death. It was frustrating and damaged his reputation with his man and the rival gangs. Once word got out that Ryan was kissing the ass of the military unpleasant things would surely follow, something he would rather avoid but knew was inevitable, but he would deal with that when he got back. Hopefully this thing wouldnâ€™t take too long but with the military he really couldnâ€™t say for sure.<br/><br/>When the shuttle docked and he finally stepped out he could just feel the gazes of the guards just gravitate towards him. He had forgotten he was still a wanted criminalâ€¦ Perhaps Murdock had not informed the fleet he had been given a chance to clean his slate.<br/><br/>One man stepped forward, rifle aimed at him, â€œHalt! Not another step beyond this point. Place your hands on your head. You look just like that guy Ryan weâ€™ve been told about.â€<br/><br/>As more guards pointed their guns at him, Ryan sighed and reluctantly dropped to his knees, placing his hands on his head. â€œWell, old Murdock still knows how to give someone a warm welcome to his shipâ€¦â€ he muttered in a sullen tone. When one of the guards glared at him and was about to make a move he spoke up, demeanor slipping once more into that soldier he hated playing so much, â€œI was summoned by Captain Murdock to attend an important discussion.â€<br/><br/>The guards looked at each other, and then the lead one spoke to a few of his men, â€œInform the captain that we have a criminal in custody, if he wants to speak with him then he will get a personal meetingâ€¦ behind bars.â€ Well that was just bullshit, Ryan thought to himself. Did they just completely ignore what he was saying? Soon after Ryan was pulled to his feet and then the guards roughly began to take him to where criminals were kept. He hoped that this was not what Murdock had in mind when he told him to come to the ship. If so then these people would have another thing coming to them. Right now the only good part was that Ryan might get to see Eric again, which brought a smile to his face leaving those keeping an eye on him wondering what was on his mind.
