[PRP] Coffee Please [Kat/Deryk]

[Blade Kuroda]

Troubles aside, there at least was always coffee. Granted the cafeteria coffee wasn't that great, but it was still something. Deryk was on his way to get himself a cup when another hunter suddenly linked arms with him. Jumping, for a split second he thought it was Ariane. The lack of a butt grab nixed that option though.

Turning, he stared into her face. Or tried to. It was a little hard with the hood but the voice was... vaguely familiar. Oh wait. It was... Kat! She was alive! And... not in the Sahara!

"Y-y-you..." he started to stammer out. Was he hallucinating? He might have paled a little as he was trying to make sense of everything. He hadn't been a part of the rescue party and there was so much commotion in that battle with the horsemen that he hadn't really seen her or Ryan there either.

"H-how.. uhhh umm... W-what do you need?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

Deryk was a little antsy here. Not only did Kat seemingly come back from the dead, but she wanted to have him do something really important? He wasn't so sure about this.

"S...sure?" he kind of squeaked out. His self confidence was not really all that great, "If.. if its that important, you might wanna find someone else.... b-better not rely on me.. no.."  

[Blade Kuroda]

Oh great. What was he going to do? Deryk felt like he was going to end up making Kat disappointed in him. He began to fidget more as she continued with this impromptu mission briefing. In fact, he practically held his breath as he was expecting something completely ridiculous.

When the objective was finally given, he blinked at the female hunter. And immediately he relaxed a little.

"Oh. That's it?" he said while looking towards the cafeteria, "..Can't go in yourself?"

He didn't really know the specifics of her situation here and all.

"Can do that though. Yes. Not a problem. Um. Regular? Decaf? cream? Sugar?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

Deryk knew the importance of coffee, but he hadn't realized that she couldn't get it for herself until she explained it. Well. That was... a bit of a hindrance for sure. He still didn't know exactly how she was here since she did just admit that she was... technically dead?

Did she really come back to life!?

The thought kind of frightened him.

"R-right on it!"

And so he zipped on into the cafeteria and procured two cups of coffee. One for himself. And one for Kat. Just as the way she asked. Before too long, he was back outside of the cafeteria, offering her the second cup.

"So uh... if... if you don't mind me a-asking.. h-how are you... er... here?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

Grinning a little nervously, Deryk watched as she lit up at the sight of the coffee when he had arrived. She must like the stuff as much as he and Jude did. Carefully, he took a sip of his own drink.

"O-oh. Not a problem," he said with a weak smile. Though, he soon nodded as she said they should talk about it elsewhere. He was fine with that. It seemed like it might be a little hush hush after all.

"S-sure thing. Anywhere you wanna go."

Deryk was also sipping away at his coffee when he nodded slowly to Kat.

"Fine with me, yes," he said before making his way in that direction. He could drink and walk at the same time. This must really be some super hush hush material. Hopefully it wasn't the sort of information that'd get him killed for knowing.

That would be bad.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Ah. This could be pretty bad. The leads surely did know, but... what was Caelius going to do about it? The thought was.. rather daunting to say in the very least. Fidgeting a bit, he drank some of his coffee, then frowned as the question was brought up on what happened to the rest of them.

"The hunters that vouched for us.. they got to keep their weapons. But now wear a wristband. Can't take it off. If they do something wrong again, the band will inject poison into them," he said quietly. Deryk really didn't like the way things had turned out.

"We're all kinda on probation.."
