Hello, sorry for the lack of updates! I've been busy with life and have also been working as an artist on the Book of Boba Fett big bang! Here's a little preview of what me and my partnered writer @bluedaddysgirl have done! Go check out her ao3 as well! She has been wonderful to work with, and her writing is just lovely!
Fett's palace was packed. Bounty hunters and Mandalorians in full armour rubbed shoulders with top crime syndicate representatives, their retinues and guards. Pykes, Crimson Dawn, Black Sun, Crymorah, guild assassins and hunters... It was a real who's who of ruining people's lives for a living. Only the Hutts were conspicuously absent.
Heads turned, sizing up the new arrivals. Cobb had expected a spell of shocked silence, but maybe this crowd was harder to wow, as they appeared to take their little group in stride. Some people even nodded or signed greetings to the Banes.
'Boba is busy just now,' Shand said, jerking her chin towards a cluster of fussily dressed people surrounding Fett, who wore his Mandalorian armour without the helmet. 'But if you wait—'
'Din!!' Meeyan exclaimed, darting away from Shand's side to throw herself at the man.
Din Djarin jerked in surprise as Meeyan bodied him and wrapped him in something closer to a choke hold than a hug.
'Meeyan? I didn't know you were coming,' he huffed, hands alighting awkwardly on the woman's shoulders like he wasn't sure if he should hug her back or drag her off him by the scruff of her neck.
'Huh. What's the little Dinshit doing here?' Bane asked.
Cobb opened his mouth to ask if he'd meant dipshit, and snapped it shut with a click of teeth when his brain caught up to the potential consequences.
'Oh, there you are,' Din said, visor tilting towards Cobb. 'I was starting to worry when I couldn't find you in town. Thought you got into trouble.'
Trouble had been the one to get him, but Cobb wasn't about to say that in earshot of either of the Banes.
'You know each other too, eh?' Cad Bane crooned, looking between them with squinty eyes. 'Small world on Tatooine.'
'Cad,' Din said with a nod, 'long time no see.'
'Yeah. Figure meeting you here of all places. You're pals with Shand and Boba too now? Climbed up in the world, didn't you?'
