A man looked out through the glass that divides him and the rest of the world. Raven, a pale man with jet-black hair stood against the wall watching people walk around.

"Do you understand Raven? This mission is critical for credits to last us a while."

He was breaking his gaze from the crowd below to look at a girl with dark blue hair. He saw how her narrow face was hard, her hands on the table, and her body seemed tense. Rolling his black eyes the man moved away to stare at the credentials for the bounty they took.

"I've been stuck with you for four cycles. Don't get pissy with me Rue," Raven informs her causing her to pull a blaster and shoot him. Tucking his head down with a smirk, he glances behind to see the mark on the wall.

"My name is Ryu and get that through your thick skull Raven," the girl grits her teeth angrily. Putting his hands up in defeat, he turned to the door to see a man approaching.

"You're late," Raven tells the newcomer with a hard gaze. Ryu crossed her arms over her chest as she made her way over to Raven's side.

"Yes, yes. I'm here, can I? complete the mission as fast as possible? That's why I employed you two."

Raven narrows his eyes to the figure, he had a feeling this person was withholding details from the two. He couldn't place a finger on it but wanted to get paid by this person.

"Pay us those credits," Raven tells the client causing him to throw a bag of chips in front of them. Ryu snatched the bag as she stared at the coins before her dark eyes.

"Got yourself a deal then. Pleasure working business with a Mandalorian," Raven speaks chirpy when seeing Ryu give him a nod after looking at the credits given to the two.

The figure hastily turned around and stormed out of the small room, the door slammed shut followed by footsteps leaving the area. Ryu giggled causing Raven to eye her as he walked to the counter. Putting on his belt and gun holsters, Raven twirled his gun as Ryu grasped her long rifle.

"Do you think we can trust them?" Ryu inquires softly when exiting the room where they stayed. Raven shot the girl a look who snickered happily, skipping ahead of the jet-black man who stalked behind her. If labels were put on the two, they would resemble an adorable loth cat and a gundark.

Grumbling under his breath, Raven stepped out on the busy street right after Ryu. Moving his arm to block the harsh sun from hitting his face, his obsidian eyes looked around to ensure no one was around. Grasping Ryu's collar, the man began to drag her towards the shipyard where their ship resided.

"I hope Stargazer can do this mission," Ryu mumbles as she allows Raven to drag her. Eyes were drawn to the two but neither cared about other people's opinions. Stargazer, why did I let her name the ship? Anything else would've been better.
