"Alright. So, originally, the Mandalorians were all one species, called the Taung. Ugly, gray skinned guys with fangs and yellow eyes.
They came from Coruscant, back before it was a city.
The oldest records of them we have is from a war between them and the original humans on Coruscant, which they lost due to sheer numbers. The Taung were driven off Coruscant and eventually ended up on a planet called Roon."

"Well I'm sure I'll learn it with time. Can't learn it all in five minutes can I?"
-
"True. I can already tell you'll fit in great with the clan." Cannon tells him.
-
"Thank you, Cannon. That means a lot..."
-
"Now I just hope you aren't a lightweight, because just about everyone in the clan's going to try and buy you a drink." He jokes, patting Nathaniel's back.
-
"Wait, can I show you some sketches for Mando armour I made?"
-
Cannon nods. "Sure."
-
[b]Nathaniel showed Cannon a few sketches [/b] https://imgur.com/a/fBXq2 "I like the first one the most."
-
Cannon looks surprised. "You want a suite of executioner armor?"
-
"A what now?"
-
"The guys that do the nasty, dishonorable work that nobody else wants to do."
-
"Let's just ignore that armour than... How about that white set??"
-
"I don't see why not. The armor is one of the last things you get though, it's the final sign of becoming a Mandalorian."
-
"Of course. So what's the in-between?"
-
"Well, you'll have to learn the political structure, the clan system, the language, etc."
-
"Political structure? Well isn't that what the mask stands for?"
-
Cannon spends the next few hours explaining Mandalorian clan structures to Nathaniel.
-
[b]At the end of all of it, Nathaniel rose to his feet and stretched [/b] "Damn"
-
"It's a lot to take in, I know. There's no tine limit though, so there's no rush to learn." Cannon tells him.
-
"It's almost dark, let's move on to step three shall we?"
-
"Alright. Actually, how about we call it a day. I'll meet you here again tomorrow and we can start teaching you Mando'a." Cannon offers.
-
"Yeah... That works too. I need the sleep I'm assuming?"
-
"Both of us do. Plus I haven't seen my wife much since I got back, and I'd like to spend some time with her and my daughter."
-
"You have a daughter???"
-
"Extremely long story, but yes. Her name is Tracinya, or Traci for short." Cannon says, smiling a bit.
-
"Huh... Nice name. I'll see you tomorrow."
