#21 "Change is annoyingly difficult."

The Mando was pacing the ship, it had been a week since you had dropped Indigo off at the Academy. He had asked you several times if you were sure that you didn't want to go back. You had tried to assure him that the only reason you were there was to secure a ship so that you could do what it was you were doing with him. Traveling the galaxy and going on adventures.

You sat on the cot in his room watching as he paced the floor. The guild had sent him a message asking for him to return so they could make him an offer on a new job. Why they could not tell him over a holo neither of you understood. But usually, if the Bounty Hunter's guild was involved, it meant it was something worthwhile.

"I might have to leave you on the ship, I don't want anyone from the guild seeing you." He said as he reached for his blaster that is normally at his side, but he did not have all of the armor plates on at the moment. So he could not pull his blaster and fiddle with it like he has been known to do when he is agitated.

"You know at some point you will have to trust me when I say I can stay put."

He stopped pacing and the visor stared at you, you always felt naked when he did that. Like the visor was somehow able to see right through you. You always pictured him narrowing his eyes at you, and making an angry face.

"Are you able to trust someone, Mando?" You asked softly.

"Change is annoyingly difficult." He said as he strode from the room.

You shook your head, "Yes, this I know." You said to yourself because he was already up at the pilot seat punching in coordinates to head to the hunter's guild headquarters. You bit your lip and then laid back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling of the room. "Would have been nice to get off of here and stretch my legs a bit..."

"I can think of a way we can get some stretches in." He said making you jump, you had not realized he had already returned to the room.

You smiled at him, "Oh and how exactly are we going to do that?"
