"No. We can't do this! It's only a child, Mando!"
"We took that job, we did it and now we're getting payment. That's all."
"Fine. Go and forsake this child to become their pet or test subject. But I will take no part in this. You're in this alone, M...

THE ground was muddy from the rain, yet the sun shined as bright as ever. V's cloak was still a bit damp so she threw it in the back of the cart, while taking off her wet gloves that were irritating her skin. She could feel her partners gaze on her scarred hands, which made her uncomfortable so she crossed her arms and hid her hands from sight.
Soon the Jawa's Sandcrawler came in view, the hooded creatures seemed to notice them as well as they started shouting and getting back from them.
"Greetings!" Kuiil called out to the Jawas, but they drew their weapons clearly in fear. The Ugnaught turned towards the bounty hunters saying "They really don't like you, for some reason"
V snorted at that, earning a look from Mando as he said "I might have disintegrated a few of them"
"And crawled on their transportation, which resulted in falling from it" the woman added.
Kuiil looked at the Mandalorian asking "You fell from it? How are you even walking?". Before Mando could answer, the Jawas called out to them and Kuiil quickly translated "You need to drop your weapons. Both of you"
The masked woman nodded, taking off her satchel and pulling out her blasters from her holsters. Only leaving her folded spear at her belt, as it looked nonthreatening.
Mando didn't move to take off his weaponry, instead he said "I am a Mandalorian. Weapons are part of my religion"
This made V snort and whisper something under her breath, making both men look at her as she shrugged at them.
"Then you are not getting your parts back" Kuiil said to him.
The Mandalorian seemed to hesitate, so V sighed and unclipped her spear and handed it to him saying "Here. Leave your weapons, but have mine"
Silence surrounded them, as Mando stared at her in what seemed to be shock as she could feel it around him. V bit her lip as she knew fully well why he was reacting this way, but still her hand didn't waver. Instead she grabbed his wrist and guided it towards the weapon and watched, as the stunned Mandalorian took it from her asking.
"You don't have any idea what it means to us, do you?"
V shrugged, lying "Not really, I mean it's just a weapon isn't it? Now come on, we need these parts"
This time Mando left all his weapons, aside from V's spear and they walked over to the Jawas, leaving the now awake child in the cart. The three of them sat down in front of the Jawas as Kuiil started negotiating, V kind of zoned out until she felt something like a sudden rift around her.
"Do you understand this?!" Mando yelled, while unfolding the spear and looking ready to attack, when suddenly someone grabbed the spear before it could hurt anyone.
"I gifted you that spear, so that you would feel safer. Have leverage. Not to take lives, Mandalorian" V said as her partner stared at her "Now, let's be civilised about it"
