Jedi and The Knight

A Trip Through The Snow

Hi! I'm so excited to share this chapter! I worked really hard and get a lot of help. I hope you enjoy. I've decided that this story takes place after season 1 and before season 2. Enjoy!

Mars lays on the couch with her feet propped up on the end when the ship jumps out of hyperspace. She gets up, climbs the ladder, and pulls herself into the roomy hull of the Razor Crest. This was the first time she had seen it.

The little one was running around with his bare feet pitter-pattering against the cold metal floor as he chased a small metal ball giggling and tripping over every other foot. He obviously was entertained, so she left him to it.

As Mars glances around the ship she notes two things: one, the man was a professional and had been doing this for a long time, and two, there was not one thing on the floor that gave up any hints of him actually being human. "Where's your father bug?"

"Ueh?!"

"He just leaves you down here?" She picks him up and continues to search around. "What if you just open the hatch and fly out?" He responds with a well thought out response and even provides evidence. "Ah, you're right. You are too short." She eventually reaches a ladder that leads up to the cockpit and climbs up with the child on her hip.

The door to the cockpit slides open and Mando is sitting in his chair pressing various buttons. The several glowing buttons reflect themselves against his beskar. Mars steps up to the window and rests her free hand on the co-pilot seat to see the upcoming planet. "Hoth?"

"Mhm," Comes his modulated voice. "It's gonna be cold so layer up." He stands from his chair and makes his way towards the little green blob playing with the fabric of Mars' robe.

"I've been to Hoth before," She says matter of factly. At this point, Mars had only been a friendly conversation distance from him. He must be at least five foot eleven since she has to strain her neck to look at him. By the time he made another step forward, Mando had practically cornered her and was looking at her expectantly. "Are we bringing him?" Mars hands Grogu over, remembering that's why he had walked up to her.

Mando reaches for the child "It's too dangerous to leave him here alone, even if the cold is also dangerous, I'd rather him be with me." He begins making his way down the ladder into the hull "Once we hit the atmosphere, I'll let you know, disconnect and follow me."

Being a Jedi means you have to be prepared for all situations, so digging through her closet to find warmer clothes wasn't that much of a challenge. If Mars were to go outside in her current attire, it wouldn't be too bad because she already has several layers on. The Jedi may not be the most fashionable but they did come prepared.

On the hull of her ship lies a pile of clothes, including a thick dark brown jacket that would go down to Mar's upper knee on the top, a furry hood, a heavier set of boots, gloves, goggles, and a belt. Mars sighs and begins to put on the clothes on top of her current clothes. The last thing that remains on the floor is her belt that would normally carry her lightsaber.

Dealing with quarries often means that they are hostile and will attack. For Mars, to use her lightsaber would expose her and possibly ruin everything she has been working on for years. Nowadays, She simply attaches a small blaster to her side and stores her saber underneath her robe, only to use in the most dire of situations.

A quick knock comes from the ceiling of the hull, reminding her that they've reached the atmosphere and it's time to detach. Mars maneuvers her way around the clutter of her ship and climbs into her seat in the cockpit. "You ready?" comes from her comm concealed in her belt loop.
