Solivagant-The Mandalorian

" arrival "

Lana, Stoke and Caben had been riding in the speeder in what seemed like days. The majority of the time arriving to the Mandalorians ship was spent with Stoke and Caben asking her strange questions and attempting to make boring conversation.

Lana knew they were just trying to be kind and make this dreadful ride less awkward, but she was just that.

Awkward.

Even if she hadn't have just lost someone so important in her life, even if she wasn't broken, she would have been the same way. Lana liked these men, but often it would come off she was annoyed. But it was just her personality. She was bad at forming friendships, it often made her sad to think about it. She longed for that connection, but she knew she couldn't form it.

When the trio arrived to the Mandalorians ship, Lana had fell into a light sleep while they were riding at nightfall. It was the first restful sleep she has had in a few days. She didn't know if it was the stars which made her so relaxed, or the slow speed of the beaten down speeder which put her to sleep, but either way it was much needed.

Her blissful sleep was prematurely ended when they finally made it to the ship. She was laying in the very back with her head rested near the corner of the speeder. When the jolted forward she hit the top of her head on the hard metal.

Guess that means we're here.

The two men looked back and saw Lana rubbing circles around the top of her head, they gave each other a look, and both said "Sorry" in unison.

Lana just softly laughed it off, earning a small smile from the men. She shifted her glance from them to the giant silver structure in front of them. Lana has never seen such a mechanism. It was almost half the size of the entire village. It looked like it had been through hell, but still she thought it was one of the most incredible feats she's seen around here.

In her defense they only really have old simple droids and a couple broken down speeders.

She took her eyes off the body of the silver ship and made her way to the man who seemed to be tugging and huffing at the wires beneath it.

"That's a Mandalorian?" She whispers to the two. "I think so." Caben breathes out.

Lana looks the man up and down trying to take in the beauty in front of her. His armor was such that she's never seen before. The stars lit it up perfectly under the night sky where she could evaluate every twist and turn and dip of the brilliant material. He was stocked with this armor all over his body, including his head.

When the three of them started stepping toward the man, Lana began to feel afraid. She didn't know what a Mandalorian was capable of, she'd never heard about them until yesterday.

What if he's someone we don't expect him to be?

Mando notices them the second they pull up. He doesn't miss a single step they make, but they don't know he's watching them and studying them so closely.
