Notes: Dagorlad Fett belongs to the wonderful @outcastcommander
Minerva smiled slightly as her boyfriend’s nephew slowly reached for the piece of jerky in her hand and eyed her suspiciously before quickly swiping it and nibbling on it as he continued to watch her.
Dagorlad chirped at her as he looked towards the plate next to her, which had more jerky on it.
“Ah, ah, ah. What do you have that I want?” Minerva asked then watched as the kid looked down at the jacket next to him and picked it up with a curious chirp. “Yep, I want my jacket because it’s my armor. But I have something you want, don’t I?”.
“So, I want my jacket and you want the jerky. What now?”.
The kitten chirped at her as the hugged the jacket.
The younger blond shook his head and pointed at the jerky with a chirp.
“And how many do you want for my jacket? One?” Dag shook his head. “Two?” Again another head shake. “Three?”.
Dag shook his head and chirped.
“You want the entire plate, don’t you?” Minerva asked with a slight smile as she tapped the plate, which earned a nod. “Atta boy, now, let me have that back……”.
Minerva reached forward to take her jacket which caused Dag to paw at her hand and pout at her..
The young woman sat back and rolled her eyes at that. “You are a quick learner, kitten!” Minerva exclaimed as she retrieved another piece of jerky and offered it to the little kitten who quietly scooted towards to snatch the jerky, which caused the woman to snatch him and set Dagorlad on her lap.
Dagorlad chirped in surprise as he stared up at her with wide eyes, then offered her jacket to her.
“And that, my little kitten, is how you negotiate a deal.” Minerva told him as she took her jacket and slipped it onto the brat. “Everybody wants something, y’see. But what you gotta do is to keep what you want to yourself, even show that you don’t really want it. If that person really wants it or wants to get rid of it, they can be pretty desperate and that’s where conning ‘em comes in handy.”.
The toddler to nod slightly at that before he stared down at her stomach with a curious look and poked it, which earned a giggle from Minerva while he chirped curiously.
“Oh, you sense your little cousin, don’t you?” Minerva asked which earned a chirp as the brat retrieved another piece of jerky from the plate. “Now, let’s see if you can do this with Uncle Jango or Uncle My without any reminders, hm?”.
Dagorlad chirped happily at that as he nibbled on his snack.
