Ezra led the crew down to the airlock as he held a nervous smile. "Now, everybody, just try to keep an open mind about this, OK?" he asks them.
They all just eyed him, they were in suspense by his actions, "Is there something you're not telling us about this job with Hando?" Sabine questions him, he just grins at her, "Come on. When have I asked you to trust me and it hasn't worked out?" he reminds them.
"Like half the time." she answers, "Or like all the time," Leo grumbles to himself. The airlock door opens and in steps, the old pirate "My friends, my friends! It is I Hando!" the pirate said with a smirk.
The crew just frowns at him with sighs of annoyance, and Ezra just smiles at him. "I can't tell you how much your welcome warns this old pirate's heart. You are too gracious," he said, placing his hat back on.
"I agree. Especially, since the last time we saw you, you abandoned us on that doomed Imperial Station!" Zeb shouts at him, "But it all worked out in the end, right?" Ezra reminds him.
"Of course. It did because Hando always delivers." Hando pitches in, "When it works out for you, maybe." Leo mutters, crossing his arms. "Just wait until you see what my new partner and I have cooked up," he said, nudging Ezra.
Kanan crosses his arms, "Wait. What new partner?" he questions, crossing his arms. "Now, remember, guys? OK? Open mind." Ezra quickly reminds them.
The door then opens behind them. "Have you recruited these two-bit smugglers yet? We need to get moving!" a familiar and annoying voice calls out, they all looked to the door and see a dear old enemy of theirs.
Or more like, a dear old enemy of Lando's. "Azmorigan?!" Hera questions, Leto snarls from on Zeb's shoulder "What makes you think we'd even consider working with you?" she questions him.
Hando turns to them, "Yes, I-I know that the two of you have had your past... conflagrations." he points out as Azmorigan wipes his ear wax on the wall behind him. "But when Hando profits, so do you. And believe me, with what we have to offer the profit for your rebellion will be great indeed." he reminds them.
Leto growls at the two, not feeling any trust towards them, "I don't care what you have to offer, I'm not allowing that on my ship." Hera snaps as she shot a glare at Azmorigan. "Oh, I remember now. The feisty one. She hit me with a tray." he snaps.
"Hera, take it easy." Ezra tries to reason with her, "Easy? This sack of bantha fodder tried to buy me and Mako from that sleemo Calrissian and make us his servants." she reminds him.
"Ah, yes. I remember now. The feisty redhead." Azmorigan chimes in, and Leo moves his hand to his blaster. "She nearly killed me." he snaps, "Consider yourself lucky." Zeb snaps at him as Leto jumps down to Hera's shoulder, glaring at Azmorigan. "I paid a fair price. Technically, I still own you both." he chuckles
Hera just glares at him as Leto tries to pouch on him, but Hera quickly catches him, "It's okay Leto. It's not worth it." she whispers to him, Leto just snarls as she places his on Zeb's shoulder.
Leto hisses at Azmorigan, then Hondo steps in, "Now, now, don't be blind to this amazing business opportun..." he said, shoving Azmorigan back as Kanan frowns at the pirate's choice of words. "Oh, sorry, sorry." he quickly apologizes to the Jedi.
"Actually, I'm interested in what you have to offer," Kanan spoke up, Leo removes his hand from his blaster. "Oh, wise one. I knew that you would see things my way. Ooh, sorry, again." Hondo spoke.
Leo rolls his eyes, "Are you going to tell us or continued acting like you can charm your way out of this?" he questions. Hondo just looks at him, "Ah, young Leo. How wonderful it is to finally make your acquaintance." he said to him with his charming smile.
