Promises are made to be broken. Deals are made to be kept.

I do not own the Mandalorian or any of the Star Wars Universe characters/settings. I own Alora and her unique story.

The ship is much tighter with four people on board. Mando might not like company, but Cara, the Child, and Tiri make the tiresome life of bounty hunting just a bit more bearable. Despite the conditions, he's glad he isn't going in alone.
"Does your contact need to vet me?" Cara asks.
"Doesn't know you're coming," Mando replies.
Tiri scoffs as she fuses over the Child. "Yeah, because he's a jackass. It won't be a problem."
"If it is, it's his problem." As Mando stands, the two women follow him into the hull. Tiri sits in the small compartment as she sorts through her own weapons while Mando opens his weapons vault for Cara.
"He all right up there?" Cara asks.
"He'll be fine," Tiri replies. "Hopefully. He is growing, after all. Two minutes isn't gonna kill us."
Cara nods as she gets a glimpse of Mando's weapons. She runs her hands over the sheer amount as Mando says, "Pick one."
She picks up a metal ball, tossing it in her hands before replacing it. "You trust the contact?"
"Not particularly. He and I had a run-in last time I was there on some Guild business."
Tiri lets out a sarcastic laugh. "You call that a run-in? Maybe we should update your vocabulary."
"I missed when you didn't talk."
"Why are we going then?" Cara asks, taking a step between the two.
As Tiri looks down at her hands, Mando sighs. "I don't have a choice. You saw what happened on Sorgan. They'll keep sending hunters. The kid'll never be safe until the Imp is dead."
"And you're ok with bringing him back there."
"No," Tiri snaps. "We shouldn't be going back. But at least we have you."
Suddenly, the ship starts to shake and bank. Tiri slams into the side of the ship with a groan before all of them make their way back to the cockpit. She lunges forward to take the Child away from the controls while Mando quickly stabilizes the ship, sighing as the beeping stops.
"We're gonna need someone to watch that thing," Cara says as she winces. "Thought you were the babysitter."
"If you think for one second I'm gonna let you take down some big Imp alone, you're insane," Tiri replies as she places the Child back in his seat with a finger pressed against his nose. "Someone's gotta watch him, I guess."
"You got anyone you can trust?"
Only one person comes to mind as he looks back at Tiri. She begins to shake her head. "No, I'm not going back there, ok? Being there alone for almost a year was enough."
