[foundlingfather]

....

What kind of dibs are you talking?

[heypartner]

You got no idea just how many people want a piece of you when you walk into a room, do you?

[foundlingfather]

...

Usually they want to fight me.

[So that's a no]

[heypartner]

Sure, there's some of that.

But others want to buy you a drink. Flirt a little with the mysterious and deadly Mandalorian.

My dibs ought to keep them off you.

[foundlingfather]

....
Thank you.

I seem to recall. I was the one buying the drinks last time. [Let's just ignore what came after he left shall we.]

[heypartner]

Oh, that's how it is? I protect your honor and I got to buy the drinks?

You're lucky I like you. And have plenty of spoons.

[foundlingfather]

I didn't say that.

We can split it. [Not like he's really going to be drinking anyway, in a room full of people.]

[heypartner]

I'm joking.

You don't drink so I'm buying only for myself. Don't worry about it.

[ He really should get Mando a straw. ]

/throws this to action?

[foundlingfather]

[Din so needs a straw, someone needs to introduce this man to straws.

Also why the hell are they texting each other in the same room?

There's a soft huff as he slides into a seat at whatever table Cobb is seated at.]

Fine. Then for your protection, you get my company.

with these two? always

[heypartner]

My protection? [ Cobb grins over the rim of his glass before he takes a drink. ] Guess you fit that knight in shining armor role better than I do.

[ Mando can't drink because of the helmet but he still pours him one anyway because he's polite like that. ]

You're always welcome at my table.

[foundlingfather]

Yes. Your protection of my honor.

[Even if he can't drink, he's appreciative of it. It gets a nod of appreciation in return. He relaxes in the seat, leaning back as much as his jetpack allows. Hands resting on the table.]

You're always good company. Did I interrupt anything when I entered? [He takes a cursory look around at the others in the room.]

[heypartner]

[ It's only polite to share even if Mando can't drink. ]

Stars, no. Just an old man drinkin' by himself which I'm told is not good for my health. [ He still grins, sharp and pleased. ] Fixed that problem for me.

[foundlingfather]

[Cobb is a good man.

There's another huff, that could almost be interpreted as amusement.]

Glad to help.

[heypartner]

You do owe me one.

[ He nods his head towards his right shoulder. ]

[foundlingfather]

[There's a pause from then as his his helmet dips, and then..]

I'm...sorry that happened. [Would things have been different, if he hadn't been in such a rush to get back to Mos Espa? Force knows.]

If it means anything. He's dead. Fett killed him. [Part of Din wishes it was at his hand, and if it wasn't for Fennec, it would have been.]

[heypartner]

Don't. I've been taking on syndicates since I got the armor. One of them was going to come for me eventually. I knew I'd die in service to the town. [ Cobb waves Mando's guilt away. ]

I know. Fett told me the whole story while I was recovering.

[foundlingfather]

[He lifts his gaze again. Helmet tilting.]

Yet you still survived. Even without armor. You're a hard man to kill. [Which Din is certainly glad for.]

Hmm, must have been after I left.

[heypartner]

Death can have me when I'm ready. [ His grin is sharp and a little violent. Cobb will never go easily. ]

You were gone by the time I woke up in bacta. Off to bigger and better things.

[foundlingfather]

...and it'll be a fight to the end. [Din might just be smiling a little under the helmet.]

Yes. [He may or may not have been a little hesitant. But he knew Cobb was in good hands, and Fett had promised to keep him updated.] Grogu and I left to find my covert. There's...something I need to do back home. [That now doesn't appear it's going to happen. Now that he's stuck here.]

[heypartner]

What is it you say? This is the way?

[ Fett hadn't told him much about why Mando left just that he had and the kid was with him. ] You've always been after something out there among the stars.

[foundlingfather]

This is the Way. [There's just a nod in return, as the response comes automatically.]

I usually don't stay in one place for long. My time here. [one hand makes a gesture as if to indicate Folkmore.] Is the longest I've stayed in one place. Habit from being a bounty hunter.

[heypartner]

I guess we can call this my first trip off world. Would've liked to see the stars and maybe see what all the fuss is about hyperspace lanes. [ His tone gives away how angry he is about the lack of choice in it too. ]

There's more green and water here than I've ever seen in my life. It rains. [ He shakes his head and takes a drink. ] It rains.

[foundlingfather]

Stars from space are a lot brighter. Than they are planet side. [To Din, seeing stars and using hyperspace is about as common and routine as going to the bathroom. He's trying, though.] Space is quiet. It's rare to encounter another vessel, unless you're close to a planet. [Or you're being hunted/attacked. There's a helmet tilt as he thinks.]

I...usually use hyperspace to sleep. Jumps can last anywhere from hours to a day or more. Depending on the jump you're doing. [Don't ask how he manages it in his tiny N-1, that has no accommodation at all. Much less with a toddler.] And how much fuel your ship has.

Living in the desert region, must feel like home.

[heypartner]

Desert's never quiet. There's always the wind or the sands moving. Seems quiet to off-worlders but it never is. [ He gets a distant look in his eyes thinking about it for a minute. ]

It doesn't. Tatooine's harsher than this place. Hotter and dryer and meaner. Also, only one sun. Sunrise and sunset are all wrong. [ His smile is mildly amused. ] And no one knows how to build a house to handle the heat. They should go under ground and be more open but nope, just boxes sittin' out in the sun.

[foundlingfather]

Mmm, I noticed. Many planets usually have some sound to them Even through the night. Space? The only noise you hear, is from the ship you're on.

They do have housing underground. Just not in the desert. Built into hill sides, in the north east area. I took up occupying one. [He shrugs a shoulder.] It's a little small, but it does what I want.
