@defyant sent: "If you're so unsatisfied with your dame, then why stick around her?" Riddick was curious. Another night and Vaako came into his chambers. What just to talk? He didn't seem like the type to just want to hang around. Riddick had gotten sick of the complaining from the command so he targeted a small poverty stricken world to help them. He figured why let them starve when they could be comfortable among their ranks and it seemed to please the overall people.
Vaako is becoming somewhat accustomed to Riddick's unprompted (and often far too perceptive) questions, both about the inner workings of the Necromonger race as well as... his personal life. The Commander sighs, shifting in his seat to stretch long, booted legs out before him.
I'm sure I do not know what you mean--" except that Siberius damn well does. Evenso, he levels an unreadable look in Riddick's direction, mentally calculating how much of himself he is willing to reveal to the Furyan. "It is not in a Necromonger's nature to be satisfied, My Lord. Our entire purpose is to seek the annihilation of all living things in the universe, and only upon arrival at the Underverse will we know true satisfaction."
Which is alot of words just for Vaako to deflect from answering Riddick's actual question. One he is begun asking himself as well: Why am I here, when I could be in my Dame's treacherous embrace? Is it because the Second Among Commanders feels as though he has finally found a place of acceptance within the Necromonger hierarchy? Because Riddick, for all his lone wolf bravado, does actually seem to listen to Siberius's counsel, in ways the old Lord Marshal never did?
( Or is it more than that... a deeper truth Vaako isn't sure he's willing to face... )
Discomfited by the thought, Siberius hesitates... then quietly admits, " Wulia and I... we serve a purpose to one another, a mutually agreed advantage. Or we did, once.."
