MHA #7 | Wednesday Evening

This past weekend sure had been A Thing, hadn't it? And while nothing had happened to Faye, other than getting stuck with the cutest baby in this or any other galaxy (no, she would not be taking questions), she was a non-crappy enough person to know that that had all probably not been especially easy for Din. Or, rather, that Monday morning and the realization of how many people had seen his beautiful mustache had probably not been easy.

So, Wednesday night found her inviting people over to her apartment. On purpose. Look, stranger things had happened, surely, than Faye actually cleaning up and putting out drinks and snacks for company.

She'd even found some of those straws that Grogu liked, since, you know, this was more for his benefit and Stark's than for Din's. Call her crazy, but she didn't think this past weekend was gonna change much about certain be-helmeted individuals eating in front of other people.

[for an alien, an alien, and that guy who looks kinda like a shiny Boba Fett.]

"Can we help? With... any of it?"

Stark still felt like he owed Din. Of course he was going to offer to help. And apparently volunteer Faye as well. Oops?

Faye, that was a remarkably healthy way if looking at it.

"You'd help find them?" Guys, that would involve so many side quests. So many.
stykera: (serious talk)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-07 01:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"I told you I owed you a debt," Stark said quietly. He'd meant it.

"I'll help if I can. I'd like to help. You helped me. Helped us."

"I didn't help you two for payment," Din said with a relieved little sigh. "But I'd appreciate the help here. Finding them will be hard. They're the ones who taught me how to track people down, so they know how to hide."

Also, feelin' cute. Might end up ruler later on this quest.
stykera: (looking sideways)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-07 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Did Stark not offer enough ego boosts, Faye?

"I know you didn't expect payment. I'm still in your debt, Din. I'm not sure what I can offer but I'll do what I can."

Would there be dead people? Dying people? He was good at that.

Oh, loads of people eventually getting shot, yes. Loads.

And a dessert space dragon!

"Thank you. Really."

Look, emotions were hard and you guys were being very nice.
stykera: (ok)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-07 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you weren't yourself then it wasn't really you without your helmet at all," Stark suggested.

"But I won't tell anyone you shared a face with the cowboy, if you like."

[personal profile] thedadalorian 2021-10-07 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, that was a good way of looking at it!

"I'll take that overthe alternative," Din replied. "And I'll ask Greef to put out feelers for any rumors of Mandalorians around."
stykera: (wait what)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-07 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Stark was going to shoot her a mildly alarmed look at that idea.

"I'd rather you didn't. But... is that how it works? You just put it on one day and never take it off again?"

[personal profile] thedadalorian 2021-10-07 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"No," Din said firmly. "It's a creed. The armor is part of it, but if just wearing it doesn't make you a Mandalorian. You might actually get threatened by a real one."

He'd try not to threaten you, Faye. But the level of discomfort. Oh man.

"Most of our people were purged by the Empire and those of us who are still alive... hid. To survive. From what they say, they even glassed the planet to try to wipe us out."
stykera: (looking down)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-07 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sometimes," Stark said, looking down, "you don't have to have done anything. My people didn't." They were just easy to conquer.

"I'm sorry," he added to Din in a quieter voice. "I didn't know."

Din let the kid go to toddle on over to pat Stark in a comforting fashion. Grogu was good at that, after all.

"For our resources, because an army of us was a threat, I don't really know," Din replied. "You remember Cara? They destroyed her planet completely. Some super weapon."

Kinda made Mandalore seem kinda tame, right?
stykera: (looking away)

Grogu got a small jsmile from Stark, and he shifted a little closer to Faye in response to the hand on his arm.

"I'd like to understand, if you'll explain. If you don't mind," he said to Din. "It does sound more like a religion."

[personal profile] thedadalorian 2021-10-07 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"There's a planet, but I've never been there," Din replied. "I suppose it is like a religion of sorts. You vow to protect each other. To take in any foundlings and offer them to become one of us."

Like him and Grogu!

"You're trained as a warrior. Kind of old fashioned these days."

Plus side? He could bear people up with a spear. Which was nice.
stykera: (headtilt)

Grogu in a helmet would be too adorable. Like Grogu in most outfits.

"Did you have any choice?"

Did Grogu?

[personal profile] thedadalorian 2021-10-07 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course I had a choice." Lol, nah. "But they took me in after..."

Well, after all that rampant droid violence.

"I couldn't really leave if I could help out. Grogu is... different. His people, the Jedi, they were apparently our enemies?"

If he'd heard of the Jedi as a kid, it was long since forgotten.
