Aria Nox
B L A C K S M I T H
What was the most dangerous thing about dealing with a Mandalorian? It wasn't a blade. It wasn't a blaster. It wasn't the thirst for combat. It wasn't even their Code. No, like the Sith whom they shared a great deal in common -- and yet were far from a pair that understood one another -- it was the mask. When you looked at a Mandalorian all you saw was the suit of armor. There was no body language. No nervous tick. How did you know when you approached or even crossed a red line? By the blaster bolt in your chest.
Aria shifted slightly as Redd shoved her way by, but otherwise didn't spare the woman a glance. She was busy dealing with someone in the shadows. Dividing your attention was a good way to get killed; and her sensor suite could tell the woman heedless of danger had kept walking. Probably the best thing she could have gone under the circumstances.
Zurin then stepped out from around the corner and faced Aria openly. Satisfied, he asked? "Words are but a still wind. Formless, vacuous, and easily ignored." Her helmet turned ever so slightly to the side. "They are gathering. Come. Believe everyone here you friend, if you like; but leave trust to the demonstration of the hearts of those that surround you."
Seeing how the man repeated his question, however, Aria forced herself to indulge in the empty exchange of words, "I am your 'friend' unless you give me cause to be your foe." She would much rather say she was 'not a foe' than a friend. Nothing was known of the man except for the blade in his iron grip.
"Come." Her beckon repeated, Aria slowly pivoted in place to lead the way from the far edge of the group to its assembly in time for the Quartermaster to speak.
Hope? The Quartermaster spoke of Hope in the wake Mandalore had been lost. How this place that surrounded them could be home despite it not being Mandalore. It was a speech not intended for Aria Nox. Nevertheless, she stood and listened to what the man had to say. The words might be for naught, but the place could be welcoming all the same. Provided the words were backed by action.
After all, if they were rebuilding they would need blacksmiths. Aria could foresee value in tarrying for a time. Perhaps even find a place outside of her ship to rest.
"K'oyacyi!" [Cheers/Stay Alive] Aria called out. It wasn't as succinct as everyone's favorite 'Oya,' but then Aria didn't feel brevity was necessary. So they wanted to rebuild a place for Mandalorians while the rest of the galaxy would prefer they died on some rock or kept to being guns for hire? Or at least this Quartermaster did -- someone Aria should have a chat with some time to understand their motivations. For now, a little celebration wouldn't hurt. Perhaps a few 'friendly' duels.
