"Lord Marshal. I... wasn't expecting you. Is there--" he said, startled to find Riddick standing at his door.
"Can it kid." Without waiting for an invitation, Riddick entered, forcing Deric to step back into the room.
"I ain't here to chit-chat. I need you to tell me who you are."
"Sir, I've told you who I am," he said. "I'm Deric, Li's brother."
"Her brother?"
"Her half-brother," he corrected himself. "We have the same mother."
"She died."
"Yes, I believe so. She was sick, I haven't heard from her in over ten years." His eyes darted to the door and then back to his interregator.
"Don't think of leaving just yet," he warned. "I wanna know where you've been. If you're her big brother how come you haven't been around to keep her out of trouble?"
"Look," he took a step trying to put some space between them. "It's not my fault. Mom was sick and didn't want to be bothered with us anymore. She sent Li to live with her father. I went to work on Cirrus Five. Afterwards I was never able to locate either of them. I joined-up with the Necromongers and here I am."
"And here you are," Riddick echoed.
