chastised , Rich sheepishly retreated back to his seat , clipping himself in , crossing his legs and arms folded over his chest . He’s huffing and NOT pouting , staring at the various buttons . Sure , he had training to work ships like this , but all of it was a vague memory , repressed after Xandar’s destruction months ago . There was no need for the Mandalorian to KNOW that Rich was a Nova , especially since there was such a tantalizingly high price for his head .
❝ WHAT ? ❞ He whips his head to look at the other , eyes comically wide and ok , yes , there is a pout . ❝ But I have nowhere else to go , please can I stay with you ? I’m also a really good babysitter too ! ❞
Head didn’t shift, eyes stayed straight ahead through his visor, not bothering to see if the man sat back down as he’d been told. The huffing, seemed to answer that. Good for him, he listened. Just in time too because the ship’s speed increased.
“Babysitter? Why would I need --” Great. Light cooing signaled that the Kid had done exactly as Dyn feared, snuck out to meet their ‘guest’ and ponder at why he was in his usual seat. Small green hands reached up towards the cockpit’s ceiling while big eyes fixed on Richard’s face curiously. The Mandalorian sighed behind his helmet and reached over to pick the child up by the ragged robes and pull him into his lap. “You were supposed to stay put,” he scolded dryly already reaching forward to unscrew the small spherical knob that the young one liked to play with to place into an expectant hand. Attention was then turned back to Rider.
“I can let you out here if you feel like arguing?” Here being the middle of space between the last planet and the next.
