Blowing in the Wind

Wherefore Art Thou,Romeo?

Evelin's POV

I was sitting in the hut drinking some tea when the ugnaught came in. "Is my master coming in?" I asked curiously. "No. I took him to where he needed to be and then left." I looked at him in shock. "What? You just left him there? All by himself? What if he's killed?" I asked in a high pitched tone. He looked at me for a moment. "He is a Mandalorian, is he not?" He asked me sincerely. I looked at him, then to the ground. I had never even heard of a Mandalorian until I met my master. I didn't know how to respond at first. "I know nothing about him." I said honestly. He looked at me then took a seat. "How do you not know the one you are traveling with?" I told him the story of how we came to know each other. He took in every word I was saying and nodded at times. "I don't think he even tolerates me. I'm just someone he has to take around. Sometimes, he doesn't even acknowledge my existence. I'm just....there." I looked down in sadness. "From what I've seen from him, he cares a great deal about you. If he wanted to be rid of you, he would have let you come to obtain his target. I wouldn't let his way of acting sway you." I took in what this sweet host was telling me. "What's your name?" I asked quietly. "Kuiil." He said in a low tone. "Nice to make your acquaintance, Kuiil." I said sweetly. He nodded, then went to make his way outside. But before he left he said "I have some thing to attend to. I will be back shortly. I have spoken." He then walked out of his hut and I was once again left alone. I laughed at his ending statement. I thought it was a silly mantra. But I thought it was a nice way to know when he was finished speaking. I began to think about the things Kuiil had said about my master. Did he really care for me? It would be odd as none of my previous masters gave even a single thought about me. Like mMaster Lyles. He wouldn't have hesitated to blast me. After all, who cared for a slave's well being? I started to think back when we first arrived on this planet. How we had trouble with the blurrgs. How my master shoved me out of the way of harm. No one would have done that for me. But for some reason, this man did. I started to reminisce when he grabbed my waist. He has such big, strong hands...... I pulled my self out of those thoughts. I shouldn't be thinking like that. He would never feel this way for me. I am just a slave in his eyes, right? I then decided to distract myself from these thoughts and make myself busy. I began to clean the hut I was staying in. Once I cleaned everything, I wondered why my master had not returned. My mind started to race. What if he had been killed? I would have to get a new master over the coarse of one day. I went outside and saw it was still light out. Where are you.....Mando?

Mando's POV

I was walking back to the hut with this child. I was walking along the egg shaped carriage the child had been found in. We were walking in a rocky area. The rocks wend up around us as we traveled back to the hut. I wondered what kind of species it could be. I had never seen anything like it before. My mind then wandered to the girl. She has been such a nuisance since I first found her. Why do I have to put up with this slave? I never wanted her in the first place. I knew what she was saying was true though. I am bound by law to keep her. I hate it when she calls me 'Master'. I then started to think of how she tried to save my life. She jumped in front of the creature so I wouldn't be killed. But she probably only did that so that she would have a place to stay. But I did push her out of the way when I first saw those creatures. Why did I do that? It's not as if I care for the girl.... Right? Ugh. She is just so confusing and intriguing and.....kind. Why is she so kind? It is so annoying how kind she is. I was pulled out of my thoughts when felt the presence of something or... someone. I stopped in my tracks and looked around suspiciously. I looked up and the curvature of the rocky canyon above. I then turned my head to the other side to inspect the area. I then looked back forward and raised my right hand slowly to my thigh where my blaster had been securely fastened. I grasped it firmly, but then i heard a noise coming from above. I looked up and saw it that the noise came from a someone above. They leaped down and hit my arm with an axe they were carrying. When they landed on the ground, I saw that they had a tracking fob. It was a Bounty Hunter. Great. I pushed the child away form the hunter so he wouldn't be taken. The hunter then started to attack me. But with each blow I blocked them with my arm braces. He attacked me again but this time I grabbed the handle of the axe. The hunter tried to grab it back but when that failed he hit the side of my helmet. But I reacted fast and grabbed the handle and threw the hunter to the ground. He was about to get up again but I kicked him in his shoulder. Then another Bounty Hunter came and attacked me with the same type of weapon. I still had the other axe in my possession and started to fight back. The other hunter then hit his axe on mine. I spun around and began attacking a third Bounty Hunter. I was fighting two of them simultaineously. I then dropped the axe and pulled my sniper blaster out and began fighting with my own weapon. I blocked a blow from one axe and kicked the hunter in the shin and saw him go down. I turned around and began to attack the other hunter and used a pulse of electricity and blew him back. The other hunter came at me again only for me to hit him with my blaster and fall to the ground. Another hunter started to run away only for me to blast him with my rifle. He disintegrated on impact. I lowered my rifle and heard the beeping of the fob. I looked at it. I knew from this point on there would be more coming for this child and I.
