Rao’s eyebrow raised in curiosity at Carthus’ demonstration of gratitude toward his droid. He had never had a friendship like that outside of family, and especially not with a droid. Rao shrugged and just rolled with it and went along with his conversation with Oddi. As he posed his question to...

Rao chewed the inside of his cheek as they hailed a cab. It was a bad habit he resorted to when he didn’t have much to do and too much time. He picked it up in training on Endor when everyone was trying to look like they were busy when in fact they just wanted five minutes where they didn’t have...

“I can get behind that. Just make sure that you grow old to tell those stories, otherwise no one will hear them.” The mandalorian laughed alongside them and clapped Carthus on the shoulder. He figured that the accumulation of such stories was a blessing and a curse. No one goes through that...

“Heroic, crazy… stupid? They all go hand in hand with each other. I’ve never met a man that was one that wasn’t at least a little bit the other.” Rao took the hand and pulled him to his feet. “Seems to me that you embody all three.” There was an air of comradery that Rao breathed in for a...

The mandalorian winced as they went down. The last time he’d been hit with a stun shot he was feeling it for a week and throwing up the next morning. To willingly go through that, Rao couldn’t even imagine the guts that took. "That’s it, he’s insane. No way around it, we’ve got a full blown...

Rao’s internal thought process was frozen the moment Carthus gave the command to be shot at. “What!?” He questioned the mysterious man as he rolled the unconscious houk off of him. ‘He’s gotta be insane. Either that or…?’ His train of thought derailed as Oddi let slip another bolt from her...

In their chaotic scuffle, the small group each acted independently and simultaneously in favor of each other, which Rao noted to be quite rare among newly formed teams. As Carthus broke free and fled his captor, Rao was preoccupied with the two separate houks which he had caught by surprise...

‘That girl is gutsier than most grown men and women I’ve seen. Either that or more foolish.’ Rao fell into line with her plan quickly. He crept around to a spot where he could flank the two incoming houks as they approached Oddi. A quick look around told him that there wasn’t a scarcity for...

‘That idiot’s willing to give himself up for some people he just met.’ The mandalorian mused about how ridiculous it seemed to him. Altruism for someone you barely know, and have no connection to just seemed so against the grain for Rao. For all Carthus knew, the two of them could just leave and...

As Vardon kept his center of gravity directly above Rao’s upper torso, the defender’s breathing started getting ragged and labored. When he caught Vardon’s arm, his grip was already taxed and his breathing was becoming increasingly difficult by the second. That wasn’t even taking into account...

“Good, at least there’s a shred of civility in this hole in the wall.” He calmed his voice and made the condescending statement with a cold look to his eyes. Making an idiot out of himself just made him want to hit someone or something. Best to ignore that instinct. Rao turned to Oddi and...

Vardon’s offensive puts his opponent on his back, his head hitting the mat with a sickening thud. Rao’s world shakes and swerves around as if the planet had been thrown off its axis. For a moment he’s stunned and doesn’t know what’s happening. As Vardon capitalizes on the downed man by taking...

“Lord, you people are so poorly managed you don’t even know your talent when you see them.” Rao played into his friend’s act as she played into his. If there’s something that a bar’s bouncers value, it’s their image in the eyes of the customers, which Oddi and Rao were so rudely poking a hole...

Vardon’s superior height and therefore greater wingspan was effective at keeping his opponent in a disadvantageous position.Rao stumbled against Vardon’s hands holding him at a distance, ending with his back against his opponent. As the taller man went to wrap his arm around Rao, he would find a...

If there are bouncers, that’s one step closer to the authorities being called, and that’s a bad day for everyone involved. The rebel in disguise nodded at Carthus’ order and bent down like he was tying his shoe. “Oddi, you gotta get out of here, now. I dunno how, but now. Follow me if you can.”...
