Katya glanced at Casamir and nodded pointedly as she stared at Lilikov. He was as cool asz a cucumber and weirdly suspicious looking. She frowned and glanced to Casa. "Stay here a sec." She said leaping out of the boat and dashing to the man of her childhood and now current associate. The man was even larger up close, nearly maxing seven feet tall he looked down at her with his large hands almost comically holding such a tiny briefcase.
"Ekaterina." He said simply bowing his head forward solemnly as always. Katya raised an eyebrow and put her hands on her hips cocking it to the side.
"Is that anyway to treat your god daughter?" She asked seriously eyebrows raised. The large man chuckled and with freakish ease he grabbed the young woman by the waist and tossed her up high in the air. Katya let out a piercing laugh and whooped when she was caught once more and placed on her feet. With a snicker she patted her skirts and some of the ice had broken from the paranoid bankers face.
"Who are those men with you?" He asked almost protectively eyeing them from the boat.
"Young pups fucking around with big wolves I think eh Katyaska?" He asked using her more formal nickname as he ruffled her hair. Katya smiled and knew she was treading on eggshells. Lilikov was unusually paranoid to begin with but with all that money it wouldnt surprise her if he did have his own little squad buried in the trees just incase he needed them.
"They're alright, nothing like you and papa, but wolves all the same, damn bastards the lot of you." Lium let out a roaring laugh, his hand on his big belly as his goddaughter looked at him with those crazy gaze of hers. She was crazy though, which is why he loved her.
"If we are bastards dear Ekaterina, you are the biggest bitch of them all." He cackled slapping her on the back seeming to be a much jollier and much younger man. She didn't deny it. Her hands were stained beyond prepare. She knew that, he knew that, anyone who met her knew that. She was a taint upon this world. She didn't make the world a pure place, she corrupted, she destroyed, she smashed her enemies and didn't shed a tear for those she did kill. She glanced at Casa and gave a small sad smile. Perhaps he knew it too, and thats why he hated her. She had a theory that people were either evil who could do good things and others were good people who did bad things. He was the later, and she the former. She ran a finger over her moist bottom lip and nodded.
"The money Lili, and I ask you not to have one of your men blow me up, we'd have an agrument then." Lili all serious again rose an eyebrow and scowled at Casamir. "Ask him over here, I want to talk to him." Katya frowned hands on hips.
"You're working for me right now Li-"
"Now Ekaterina." He said gruffly. Katya frowned and slowly backed up to the boat and jerked her head.
"He's not going to shoot you, but he needs to talk to you...protection and all that." She said boredly hoping they wouldnt do anything stupid.
