"If I could start again, I'd find you sooner so that we could have more time. But I will cherish every second we do have."
They're polar opposites - she's open and talkative, he's closed-off and a man of few words. She's seeking connection, while...

"Have a seat over there," the server at the inn's cantina told them. "What can I get you?"
"Nothing for me, but a bowl of chowder for my friends. Make sure it's hot," Lore added.
"These seats are scarce, buddy. Everyone seated needs to eat."
"I can buy something else." Lore slid some credits across the table. "Information. Have you seen others that look like me?"
The server hummed. "Just a moment." He left and then returned with their food before going over to speak with someone at another table.
Leo squealed as a little squid popped out of his bowl. Lore simply stabbed it with a knife and it plopped back into the chowder with a little splash. "Don't play with your food."
Aula stirred hers well with her spoon, just in case there were any little squids lurking in her bowl as well.
The guy who the server had spoken with came over to their table, claiming to have seen the Mandalorians they sought. He offered to take them to find them, saying he and his crew were setting sail that evening and promised to help them.
However, the whole thing quickly took a turn for the worst.
The crew was feeding a sea creature, which was apparently right below their boat, when the guy helping them promptly knocked Leo's pram into the water with the creature.
"No!" Lore immediately dove in after Leo, but the crewmembers slammed a grate down on him, locking him in the water.
"Ha! That beskar is ours!" the guy cheered.
"Lore, Leo! Hey!" One of the crewmembers picked up the flailing Aula and threw her off the side of the boat.
But before she hit the water, she was caught mid-air - by a Mandalorian.
"I got you," a female voice said.
"Lore! Leo!" Aula cried as soon as they landed on the deck where two other Mandalorians were dealing with the crewmembers. "They're trapped! My friends-"
The three wrenched open the grate and the woman who had saved her reached down into the pool. "Take my hand."
Aula felt a wave of relief when Lore's hand reached out and took the woman's. She helped him up on deck.
"There's a creature," he gasped. "It has the child!"
"On it!" The other woman, wearing silver armour, while the woman who had helped Aula and Lore wore blue, promptly dove in after Leo.
