Metanoia | The Mandalorian ON HOLD

Chapter 3

After a few hours of walking and being attacked by a group of some other bounty hunters, the Mandalorian decided to camp for the night, needing the rest and to patch up his arm that wea hurt. In those few hours of silence, the girl was slowly staring to somewhat feel comfortable around the Mandalorian.

The two sat down on the ground, the pod stopping next to them. Mando pulled out a small lamp to have some light before looking for something to help with his wound. That's when the girl decided to speak for the first time. "I'm Juno by the way." The Mandalorian stayed quiet slowly starting to tend to his arm.

"You're a Mandalorian, aren't you? And a bounty hunter?" She continued, looking at him. The child was observing them both, cooing softly.

"Yes." Mando replied after a moment.

"So, where are you taking us." No reply. Mando just kept tending to his wounded arm, grunting in pain. Juno sighted, putting her head on her hands staring at nothing in particular. The green baby was looking at the Mandalorian, seeing him in pain. He got out of his pod ant went closer to him, slowly reaching his little hand to Mando's arm. The Mandalorian noticed him and quickly put him back to the pod, only for the child to get out again. This time, when Mando put him back, he closed the pod so the child wouldn't get out again.

Juno, feeling bored, started humming one of the songs her mother used to sing to her. "Could you not do that?" Sighted Mando annoyed. "How much are they paying you for us?" Asked Juno in return, green eyes looking into his visor.

"Enough, still don't know what they want with a little girl though. How old are you anyway?"

"Twelve. And they didn't tell you?"

"I just know that you're some runaway princess and can do some weird things, didn't ask anything else." Said Mando, looking at Juno. "You should sleep, we're leaving early." Juno just sighted, laying on the ground and turning her back to him, sleep taking over her quickly.

A while later, Mando was still up. He turned to look at the kid and noticed she was shivering. He sighted, taking off his cape and putting it over the girl to cover her. A moment later, he fell asleep too.
