"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."

"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."
-
Cannom nods. "See you tomorrow, ner vod." He turns to leave. [spoiler]Timeskip?[/spoiler]

"You alright?" Cannon asks him.
