@lowqualityrp sent: “Are you awake?” (Jonesy)
► FROM FALLING SLEEPING ON MEME
It gets exhausting looking after the Zero Point day in and day out. He’s lucky the other hunters are so willing to care for the Child while he’s away (sometimes he hears the kid humming that song Mancake’s got going at the Butter Barn, he spends so much time there), but when he finds himself unable to care for the little one even in his free time, that’s when Mando realises he needs a freakin’ break.
Kondor’s more than willing to take up his place on the cliff overlooking the Zero Point and the desert beneath; Mando figures the guy’s got the whole permanent helmet-wearing intimidation thing down pat. And though Lexa complains at him, telling him that she should be the one closest to the Point to kill the idiots that come too near, she seems pleased when Mando tells her she’s in charge of killing anyone unknown passing by his apartment... which, honestly, happens way too much, if the sound of her assault rifle going is any indication.
Anyway, it’s just his luck that the first day of his actual holiday he’s called to the IO offices underground.
Sitting in Jones’ little office, Mando looks over the files of the new hunters he intends to bring to the island with his next few rift jumps. He’s doing his best to listen to the man’s descriptions of them, but... honestly, he couldn’t care less about this Sarah Connor or this Ellen Ripley, and when Jones mentions having to interact with some “Yautja” to “keep them in line”, all Mando does is nod dully in passive agreement.
Gods, he’s tired. He’s so tired that when his helm slips from its place propped against his fist, he doesn’t even have the sense of mind to stop his forehead from bonking against the metal desk.
Even more pressing is the fact that this doesn’t jolt him awake. For better or worse, Mandalorian shock impact technology is impeccable.
