She couldnâ€™t help but smile at him while she listened to his story. This was probably only the second or third time she has ever bonded with her partner this quickly, over the span of a few days. Sometimes she is stuck with a partner for years and it turns out she doesnâ€™t know a thing about them or they just didnâ€™t care to bond. It was annoying whenever she needed something and they acted to nonchalant. Knowing they could both be open with each other was relaxing in so many ways that it made her feel good. And deep down she admitted she was surprised when he said he would come for her with or without Ryanâ€™s help. He definitely was full of surprises, it was almost amazing, and she had a different image of him than just a nice guy. She really couldnâ€™t say for sure what it was, but she definitely felt she could depend on him.<br/><br/>As much as Kat wanted to explain a little more about her own history, namely her history with Riddick, Ryan had entered the room handing them a bottle of what seemed to be illegal pain killers saying that he wanted some answers from them since he had helped them out. Kat looked to Eric and nodded, collecting herself a bit more, â€œI suppose I canâ€™t really say no to that either.â€ She said to Ryan with a slight shrug, â€œFrom what Eric tells me you had a huge hand in my rescue so I have you to thank as well. Iâ€™m sure thatâ€™s now quite what you had in mind, though.â€<br/><br/>Ryan had taken a seat across from them like he had earlier in the day when he protected them from that other gang and brought them in for questioning. He eyed the two carefully, quietly, but his gaze was not as intense as it had been that time and seemed to sympathize a bit when he finally got a good look at just how bad they looked from what Kat could tell. It was hard to tell what was going through his mind, as always. She still wasnâ€™t sure if she wanted to trust this man either but if Eric was alright with him then she was not going to act out and make things difficult. Perhaps she was just rather unwilling to trust anyone in general right about now, including herself. She clenched her fists in her lap and focused on Ryan with a bit of intensity so she wouldnâ€™t be tempted to look down.<br/><br/>â€œIf you think Iâ€™m just trying to make things difficult for you again, Iâ€™ll assure you now that is not the case this time around.â€ Ryan began, folding his arms as he leaned back in his seat. His demeanor seemed to still hold that military soldier-like air while he spoke. â€œHow about this: Iâ€™ll be honest and force myself to open up a bit more if youâ€™re honest with me. I swear, so help me, I wonâ€™t hesitate to kill both of you if anything I tell you leaves this room, keep in mind.â€ He took in a deep breath, â€œI know Gendahl fleet pretty well, itâ€™s not something Iâ€™m fond of. I did also learn from my new friend downstairs before I came to get you two that they are also after Thomas. When they first showed up in my city, Iâ€™d thought they were after me again since they knew I was the one who murdered my father.â€<br/><br/>Kat was quiet again while she listened to the man speak, a bit surprised to hear that he was also associated with the Gendahl fleet at one time. She briefly wondered if they had met before, but there was nothing familiar about Ryan at all so she just let it go. This was why she hated Gendahl fleet, not only were they a vicious group they took people and tried to make them into machines of war. Sometimes it worked sometimes it didnâ€™t, and some people just didnâ€™t care. The fact that one of their leaders happened to be one of the most dangerous men she has ever met didnâ€™t help either; that fleet was just all around corrupt.<br/><br/>â€œI was told they were after Thomas by their captain,â€ Kat said in reply finally, speaking honestly to keep her word. â€œYou were not mentioned, but then again it takes a certain mindset to get a man like Riddick to talk. I didnâ€™t have it in meâ€¦â€ she almost spoke as if she was ashamed of that, but she knew she only spoke true as much as she would have liked to get more information. â€œThat being said, Iâ€™m sure you want more from us otherwise you wouldnâ€™t have shared what you just did.â€ She began to feel a little worried again but she pushed it aside. In the corner of her eye, she looked to Eric to see if he had anything to say before she rambled on too much. She wasnâ€™t quite feeling like taking the leader role as much right now.
