"So this brother of yours..."
"Yeah, what about him?" she answered from the kitchen.
"When you guys meet, you're gonna get all buddy-buddy, huh?"
"What?" she asked, "What do you mean?"
"Well, I mean, you're gonna wanna go stay with him, right?"
She didn't answer.
"Li?"
"What? I couldn't hear you over the running water." Her voice sounded strange.
Riddick turned to look at her. She had stopped washing the dishes and stood staring at the sink.
"How do you know he's the same guy you remember? You were only, what? Ten when you last saw him?"
"Eleven." Her reply was barely audible.
"That's a long time. He could be a completely different person. How do you know you can trust him?" he asked.
"He's my brother. He always took care of me."
"Yeah, he sure did a good job with that. Where were you when Jack found you? Oh I remember, a slave ship."
"Hey! That wasn't Deric's fault!" She hadn't expected him to say something so hurtful.
"Well, where was he? If he was really so great he wouldn't have left his helpless little sister to the mercy of mercs!"
Li's face darkened in rage. "That sounds familiar Riddick. Where the hell were you when Kyra needed you? She was on that same slave ship! You abandoned her too! You have no right to lecture about responsibility!" She slammed the plate she had been holding down in the sink and stormed off to her room.
"He's a Necro!" He yelled after her. "Li! Li!" He followed her but she had locked her door. He pounded on it and told her to come out. She gave no answer.
