CHAPTER SIX 

⌞          ⌟

DIN had allowed Grogu to come with them — not that he had much say in the matter since the kid was hanging on both of their legs. Artemis had picked him up and now the two of them were making their way towards the cantina.

The redhead hadn't bothered to pull the hood over her head, trusting that not many people would be there in there in the first place.

"I like it," Din told her.

Artemis turned her head. "What?"

"You without the hood."

She rolled her eyes. "Thanks."

They entered the cantina and sat down at one of the tables. Artemis put Grogu down in what was obviously a children's chair and turned to look at Din who was already looking at her.

"What?" Artemis asked, a smile playing on her lips. "Do I have something on my face?"

Din chuckled. "No."

"Welcome, travelers!" a servant said, as she came towards their table. "Can I interest you in anything?"

"Bone broth, two," Din replied, gesturing at Grogu and Artemis.

"Oh, well, you're in luck," the servant replied, smiling. "I just took down a grinjer, so there's plenty. Can I interest you in a porringer of broth as well?"

"Just the two," Din said.

"Very well," the servant said.

"That one over there," Din said, nodding at a black haired woman who sat some tables away. "When did she arrive?"

The servant turned around to follow his gaze, before turning back to them. "I've seen her here for the last week or so."

"What's her business here?" Din questioned her.

"Business?" the servant repeated, not seeming to follow. "Oh, well, there's not much business in Sorgan, so I can't say."

Din shoved some credits over to her.

"She doesn't strike me as a long runner," the servant continued, before noticing the credits. "Well, thank you, sir. I will get those broths to you as soon as possible and I will throw in a flagon of spotchka just for good measure. I'll be right back with that."

And with that, she left.

"I don't think that's how they do things over here," Artemis said.

Din looked back at where the woman had been sitting only to find out she was gone.
