Bounty hunting is a complicated profession

Green

As always, people were surprised to see a Mandalorian and they turned around to look at him when you entered the canteen. He sat at a table and you joined him.

"Welcome travellers. Can I interest you in anything?" The owner asked you.

"Bone broth, for her." Mando told her.

"Oh, well, you're in luck. I just took down a grinjer, so there's plenty. Can I interest you in a porringer of broth as well?"

Mando shook his head "Just the one."

As the woman was about to leave, he added "That one over there, when did she arrive?"

He was referring to a woman sitting alone at a table. She was looking your way and she seemed strong, like a warrior.

"Uh… I've seen her here for the last week or so." The owner said.

"What's her business here?"

"Business? Oh well...there's not much business in Sorgan so I can't say…" said the woman evasively.

Mando tossed her a coin.

"She doesn't strike me as a log runner...well…" she said, taking the coin. "Thank you, sir. I will get that broth to you as soon as possible, and I will throw in a flagon of spotchka, just for good measure. I'll be right back with that."

As the owner left, Mando noticed that the woman he had asked about was gone. He got up and told you to stay there as he left the canteen in search of her.

Keeping track of Mando proved to be easy. After spending so much time alone with him, you had become more sensitive to his presence and you could feel him farther away from you with way less effort.

You ate your broth while you tracked him. He seemed to be ok but after a few minutes he was suddenly startled. This got you worried and you decided to go after him.

As you got closer, you were able to feel the woman too and you realised she had no intention of killing him, she was just wary and confused by his presence there.

When you found them, they were struggling. She seemed to be a good fighter since she was able to keep her ground against Mando. In fact, they were so evenly matched that they both ended on the ground, blasters pointing at the others' head. Though, since Mando wore his helmet, technically he had won the fight.

That's when they finally saw you. You waved at them, as if finding them like that was the most normal thing in the world.

"You want some soup?" Mando asked the woman.

"Sure" she said as the both of them put their blasters away and got up from the ground. She looked at you from head to toe, as if she was measuring you up.

The three of you headed back to the canteen and sat at the table.

"You're a shock trooper, right?" Mando asked her.

"Yes, the name's Cara Dune" she said looking at you with interest.

Mando introduced the two of you and asked about her.

"Saw most of my action mopping up after Endor, mostly ex-Imperial warlords." She said "They wanted it fast and quiet. They'd send us in on the drop ships. No support, just us. Then when the Imps were gone, the politics started. We were peacekeepers, protecting delegates, suppressing riots. Not what I signed up for."

You didn't know what to make of her, she seemed nice but she wasn't very open and it was hard for you to read her. Furthermore, she kept looking at you with wonder but she didn't ask any questions. Surprisingly for you, Mando seemed to like her and you decided to trust his judgement.
