"Mando can't kill us if he can't find us."
"Pablo," Cara snaps. "We can't just-"
"It's not our fault the Mandalorian's 'girlfriend' ran away." Pablo scoots forward, a scowl etched deep on his face. "But he's going to shoot us when he finds out-"
"Shoot you, maybe."
"Pardon? If memory serves me-" Pablo waves a hydro-spanner at her- "we were both left to look after Mando's precious little sunstar."
