Hiro sat down in a booth, using his shaw to help cover his saber. He never removed his mask as he ordered a drink

( yeah I think cam fell asleep doe,)

(That’s alright 😂)

The crime lord's head hit the floor before he even saw Shiloh move, and her blade was sheathed immediately after. Thank God they were alone, or a full uprising would've started then and there. Fortunately, they had a bit of time.

"Beautiful work," Estelle praised sweetly.

"And it wouldn't have even happened without your… negotiations," Shiloh replied, winking playfully.

Estelle grinned. "You flatter me. Let's go. Winter and Elias are waiting."

The pair slipped off and blended into the streets of Mos Eisley almost effortlessly, and within minutes, they arrived at the cantina's steps. Shiloh slid her arm through Estelle's, and they walked in together.

Elias and Winter steadily walked to the cantina. They drew some looks, but that was normal for them. It wasn’t the easiest thing to try to hide a walking icebox. But they managed. They slipped into the cantina, and found a booth in a corner. Winter took Frost off of her back, and gently set him beside her near the wall. Elias sat beside her.
He looked at the booth closely and looked at Winter and smiled.
“Ya know. I think this is the exact same booth from ten years ago. This is such a nice surprise. Are you sure Estelle and Shiloh will see us?”
Winter ruffled Frost’s hair.
“Calm down Hun. They’ll find us. Estelle can always find me in a crowd. Speaking of finding someone in a crowd, have you noticed the young man with the mask? He’s force sensitive.”
Elias looked over to where Winter had gestured with her head.
“Oh look at you go. I think that’s our guy. The calling. He’s the one we’re drawn too. I’ll keep an eye on him, you look out for Estelle and Shiloh.”
Winter rolled her eyes.
“I suppose I’ll look for them while keeping your son busy. You know, I never thought it would be this difficult to raise a force sensitive child but here we are, and he’s trying to levitate the spice shakers on the table.”
Elias elbowed her playfully.
“Oh come on now. Don’t tell me a toddler can take you out when blaster fire and space monsters can’t. You’re doing just fine darling.”
Winter elbowed him back.
“I can handle it Elias, but when we get back to the ship, you’re on nap duty. Oh look! Guess who walked through the door!”

hiro sighed, continuing his sketching as he planned out his next move. he could feel other people around him with the same.. power?.. he guessed. hiro had been raised alone, by a trader hed never gotten the name of. looking around at the crowd he spotted the family and stared a moment to long. their child… was levitating things.

Elias jerked his head towards the boy with the mask. He narrowed his eyes and stared at him. He nudged Winter.
“Win, Frost may have done something really good or really bad. I can’t tell yet. We’ve got the attention of the boy, but it was because Frost liked to make the spice shakers float.”
Winter sighed and gently touched Frost’s hands.
“Sweetie, can you put them down? We can practice later. We can’t let other people see what you can do yet. We’re trying to stay hidden.”
The boy looked up at his mother and giggled. He smiled brightly and threw the spice shaker across the room. Winter’s eyes widened, and she reached out in the Force and brought it back to the table before it could hit anyone. Elias turned and looked at her.
“Well look who is using the Force now. We certainly got his attention. Have weapons at the ready dear. He’s going to walk over here to ask if he saw what he saw.”
Winter rolled her eyes.
“Elias. It’s going to be fine. He’s force sensitive. I don’t feel any dark side affinity coming from him. He’s curious. Let him come. He doesn’t seem to have anyone.”
Elias smiled.
“Hmm. I think that’s your mom instincts kicking in. But I’ll lay back and see if he comes over here.”

surprisingly, hiro had other intentions. he did get up and walk over, but it was to raise his hands when they drew their weapons. his eyes widened behind the mask "i mean no harm to you or the child i swear.. just.. giving him something. something my master gave me to fidget with.. i seen your 'little display.' " he said and used the force to hand the boy a small ball with diffrent parts all mixed up and intertwined. the ball was a clear rubber like toy " if hes strong enough, he can separate the shapes through the liquid inside." he explained..

As the boy walked over, Elias couldn’t help himself. He reached for his small blaster pistol and drew it. Winter leaned over the boy to shield his eye just in case Elias decided to shoot.
But the boy didn’t do anything. He held his hands up, and Elias lowered the small blaster pistol. He offered a toy to Frost.
Frost was more than overjoyed to play with something, and he went to sorting out the shapes immediately. Winter looked up at the boy and smiled.
“Alright son. Why don’t you come over here and sit with us? You have some information to tell us at least. You’re force sensitive, and you said you have a master, but the only Jedi right now traversing the galaxy is that Skywalker boy. Was he your master? And don’t be alarmed. We’re waiting on two other people. They’ve just walked into the door. They’re safe, and I should know. One of them is my sister.”

" i- thank you. and im not sure of his name, but i dont think it was skywalker. he was a trades men an said hed learned some stuff about it. but not much. " he explained his story, resetting the toy when the child needed it.

Estelle skipped over to Winter, pulling her Twi'lek partner with her. "Winter!" she chirped excitedly, wrapping her arms around her sister. "It's so good to see you! And Elias! And–" She gasped excitedly while Shiloh crossed her arms and chuckled. "–little darling Frost!"

Winter and Elias nodded at everything the young man said.
Elias spoke first.
“That is indeed very strange. We were here ten years ago, but the empire brought us here. You had to have been very young. Whoever raised you knew how to keep you hidden. I apologize for the rough introduction, but you can never be too careful. Let me introduced you to my family. I’m Elias, and this is my wonderful wife, Winter. And this is our son, Frost. We’re all force sensitive, we just choose to use it sparingly. Well me and Winter do. Frost just likes to make things float. Now onto you. What’s your name son?”
At that moment Estelle and Shiloh bounded over and hugged Winter, and she laughed at Estelle and Shiloh’s reaction at her son. She laughed.
“Oh it’s so good to see you two! And yes. This is little Frost. He’s the “Frost problem” that I would mention in holos. I figured Estelle would find out before we met face to face that I had a child. Four years ago, me and Elias decided it was time to start a family. And we did as partners do, and all of a sudden, boom. Frost appeared. And he takes after his father. He’s not a fighter type. He really has an affinity to heal. And wouldn’t you know? He’s force sensitive. How have you two been? And before you two say anything, I’m going to put money on saying that you’ve already liberated someone or something on this planet. Seeing as it is Tatooine, I assume a crime lord has gone missing? And before you ask about the boy talking to Elias, we believe that he’s the reason we’re here. Come on. Sit down and talk for old times sake.”

Shiloh arched an eyebrow and smirked. "News travels fast on this dust ball. We may have been a little bit busy before stopping here."

"Or she felt it," Estelle poked Shiloh's side, causing the Twi'lek to hiss.

"I've told you how many times to stop doing that!"

"Yeah, well, it's fun," Estelle teased, booping Shiloh's nose and finally noticing the stranger sitting with them. "Oh… and who might you be?"

hiro laughed a bit " im hiro, hiro shimada, " he said and watched the convo " you al know each other?" he asked

Winter smiled.
“Come on Estelle. I think I know you and Shiloh well enough to make a well educated guess. And to be honest, whoever you took out probably had it coming. And yes Hiro. Estelle is my sister. She was taken by the Empire. And then rescued by an old friend. As for Shiloh, we actually met here! Ten years ago. And by the looks of it, we actually met right here! Of course we were oh what eighteen and sixteen back then, but we sure did know how to cause chaos. And by the looks of it, we still do. How old are you Hiro?”

"im only sixteen" he said. hiro seemed to look at the newer two,

Elias smiled as he watched his son play with the toy. And he looked back up at Hiro.
“Well kid, that’s a good time to start experiencing life. And if you’re anything like we were, I’m going to assume you’re on your own now? Maybe working for someone who has offered you shelter and a little bit of food in exchange for your service? Or they know about your little secret about you being Force sensitive, and they’re using it as leverage to keep you subdued. Trust us kid, all of us have been there. Except for Frost. He wasn’t ever a thought at the time we were bringing chaos to the galaxy.”
Winter nodded.
“If we’re being honest it took us like a day to decide we wanted a kid. And boom. Frost. Now there’s at least three Hothians and one Empire test subject Hothian who is doing an amazing job of coming back from what the Empire did to her, left in the galaxy. We’re the last of our kind. However, crime lords and high dollar buyers would love to have any one of us. Because we can do something no other race or breed of person or creature can do. When it’s less crowded, I can tell you if you’d like. But here’s a fact. Not one of us are hot weather dwellers. It’s a little bit of a struggle here on Tatooine.”

(I was thinking that maybe Hiro worked for the crime lord Estelle and Shiloh killed, and then everyone working with this crime lord automatically assumed it was Hiro bc he’s different? And they come after him? But after we’ve had a nice chat in the cantina tho. We got to build some backstories and ten years worth of memories 😂)

Estelle flushed. "Oh stop. Without you all – and Essar, of course – I'd still be living hopelessly on Naboo. Maybe even dead." She shuddered at the thought, and Shiloh placed a gentle hand on her partner's shoulder. "Anyway, short and sweet, what they're trying to say is we understand where you're at right now. I mean, we were all young once."

" id rather not talk about it, i cant trouble people i just met with life, especially ones with kids. " he said solemnly

Elias leaned back and glanced at Winter.
“Alright kid, I understand. Someone else was like that.”
He tilted his head towards Winter.
“Anyways, trust me when I say this, Frost has always been in fights. We decided very early on that we wouldn’t hide him. He’s had a few blaster battles. He’s tough for a little guy.”
Winter ruffled Frost’s hair once more and looked at Hiro.
“You don’t have to tell us your past, but we can share parts of ours. If you would like to listen. Ten years is a long time Hiro. We’ve learned a lot of lessons since we were your age. And the galaxy is very big. And it needs help. So that’s what we do. We help those who need it, while also trying to stay safe and raise a child. It’s not the easiest life, but we wouldn’t change it for all the stars in the galaxy.”
Winter looked at Estelle and Shiloh, and looked back at Hiro.
“Now the ones you really have to look after are these two. Shiloh can fix anything and Estelle can sweet talk anyone. And together, whoa buddy. They can be a menace. People have disappeared after talking to them and no one knows where they went. It’s kinda scary, but also very convenient.”

hiro chuckled " sounds like youve got life by the horns. " he said and sighed. he raised his hand and lifted the mask, his face covered in a few scars along his eyes and cheek.

Elias shrugged and laughed a little.
“I guess we do. It doesn’t feel like it half the time!”
Frost looked up from where he was playing with the toy and looked at Hiro intently. His little eyes started to glow, and it sent Elias and Winter into a panicked frenzy. Frost stopped after Winter covered his face and held him tight.
Elias looked at Hiro, and set his mouth.
“Look kid, sorry about the glowing eyed son of mine. A brief introduction, Hothians have their own gifts, and Frost here, well… He takes after me. He can heal things. And when he saw your face, he tried to heal it. We keep telling him to ask people if they want to be healed, but there’s not much we can do for scars. My apologies Hiro.”
At that moment Frost peeked out from under Winter’s arm and looked at Hiro.
“Hey! What’s happened to your face?”
Winter looked at Elias and groaned.
“I’m so sorry Hiro. Frost has no filter. He’s still learning… you don’t have to answer that at all if you don’t feel comfortable. But I will say this. We all have our scars, and it’s okay to show them.”

" n..no no its alright really!" he said and hed out his hands. " its from someone i work for kid. along with teaching myself to use this," he pulled out the saber and held it in his hand

Elias leaned across the table to shield what was in Hiro’s hands.
“Careful son! We know what that is. And there’s a huge bounty out there for those who have one. Winter, Shiloh, Estelle. Do you think anyone saw us?”
Winter reached out.
“I can only feel a few very drunk patrons. They won’t remember anything. Estelle, Shiloh. What do you guys think?”

" no, no one saw. this place keeps their mouth shut, especially with who i work for. itd be their heads and not mine.."

Winter narrowed her eyes. And looked at Estelle and Shiloh very closely.
“Now I know I’m going to eat my words, and I am very well prepared to do so, but what are the odds that you took out his boss?”
