One of the moons of Rion, Wednesday Fandom time

"That's it?"

Hera didn't actually say it, but she did share an incredulous blink with Kanan. They'd picked up their cargo a few systems away, flew it through what had been more a customs check than a blockade, not even been boarded or had to do more than answer a question or two ("Are you importing any foreign animals or have you been infested in the last year with mynocks?"), then been told to have a great time.

Now their contact had taken possession of the crates, thanked and paid them, and they still had two days left until their return portal.

Hera thought about it as they headed over. "I can see that being helpful, but I really think she should get a better feel for the galaxy before jumping in with both feet."

"And that's why I'm taking her on a cantina crawl this weekend," Kanan supplied. And then paused and added, "I'm the designated driver."

A quiet promise that he was going to stay dry.

Hera smiled, grateful for the reassurance, though she trusted him anyway. "That's one way of introducing her to it, I guess."

That could go really well or really spectacularly badly. "Should I keep the Ghost ready to go if you call?"

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan chuckled a little at that question, spreading his hands in a 'what are you gonna do?' gesture.

"You're more than welcome to," he replied, "though the Escape is good at getting from aurek to besh just as well. We're not planning on dancing with any Imperials. Just... taking in the local night life."

Possibly on Corellia.

So maybe yes.

"The Escape's great, if you can get to the spaceport," Hera said. "Having a ship as backup couldn't hurt. More for the hutts than the Imperials, some worlds."

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan ducked his head a little and chuckled.

"Sure, if you don't mind hanging around up there while Summer and I... probably watch drunken idiots stumbling all over themselves. Probably a good idea to have the backup just in case. I know how to avoid the Hutts. She's never seen one."

Hera shrugged. "Whenever you think you might need me, I'm happy to. Otherwise, I can just keep my comm on me in case. Make sure I know your schedule, and I can show up if I need to, but I'm sure you can handle just about anything."

[uncertain_dume]

"Honestly, for Summer's first time rubbing elbows with the lowest of the low back home, I'd feel better if we had backup," Kanan admitted. "But I'm not sure how she'd take it if we had you keeping in low orbit just in case. Keep your comm on, and we can go from there?"

[futurespacemom]

Hera nodded. "That sounds like a good idea. Anyway, as long as she doesn't antagonize anyone, you should both be fine."

...Space, they were doomed.

[uncertain_dume]

"I'll keep my blaster close at hand," Kanan promised.

Because... yeah.
