Amends [Derrik & Yuna]

Derrik watched her come down as he hooked his thumbs in his belt loops. Watching her move with ease between her forms. There was no doubt that Yuna was a beautiful woman and graceful. Not many could actually lay claim to that in their world. At least not her version of grace.

"You could say that," he said lowly. On a whim he reached up and slipped his hands into her hair, dragging her the little distance that separated them so he could kiss her. Then smirked a bit. "For ruining our fun last time, naughty girl. Now get your A** out of that tree. We have to talk properly."

An amused smirk tilted his lips as she licked his nose. Such a ridiculous gesture.

As she got down Derrik stepped back and then sighed. "It's been called off, kitten. He's... been given a second chance." Derrik said those words grimly, looking her in the eyes. "I'm gunna have to break my promise."

"I am not that kind of person, Martinez. I make no attempt to hide what I do and I will not start now. I gave my word to a man I trust," Derrik said in a hard, gruff voice. Derrik was holding onto that with both hands, tightly. That trust he had with Christian. He wasn't going to let it go easily. He had respect and the beginning of trust building with some here, but only Christian had earned it and proven himself time and time again.

Derrik almost blew her off, but he knew criminals, and he knew prison. So the thing he did say wouldn't look strange at all. "I'll get to see my kids." He said finally after that moment of struggling with what to say. "And that's more information than I feel you deserve to know." Derrik then held his arms out to the side.

"My hands are tied, I won't be moving forward, and until he slips I'll stop you from moving on Maxwell as well. So either get your licks in now or suck it up, buttercup."

Part of Derrik wished she would have taken him up on the offer, it would help assuage his guilt over abandoning his morals in favor of Christians and requesting the deal he had made. But a part of him knew such a hope was ridiculous. He deserved to live with the guilt of his actions until the day someone took him out of this world.

Derrik shook his head at the offered cigarette. "If he s up, there may be nothing left of him for you to deal with once I'm done," Derrik said before turning to leave. Derrik would be waiting for that up eagerly.
