"yeah.." Hiro whispered, his mind preparing for both the best and the worst. His body was trembling, but couldn't decide between fear or excitement.
"And you guys get this all to yourselves?" He asked, looking at the hallway back to the elevator

Winter shifted Frost in her arms.
"Yep, we bought this floor. Once again, we have money, we just never use it. Which is fantastic because some senators are living paycheck to paycheck to support their lavish lifestyle. If something goes up for sale, we can normally buy it before everyone else because we can pay for it in full, and up front. We have very good credit here. Which works in our favor."
Elias nodded.
"This is also why very few people can come at us. We also buy things out of spite and then sell them for dirt cheap prices, to regular people on Coruscant. Which also means we have the favor of the people on Coruscant. Which is fantastic. It means we can walk without security. Anyways, let's get this door opened."
Elias scanned the key card and opened the door.
"Voila. Our home away from home."
The door opened to a lavish suite. It had high ceilings, and some type of marble for the floors. It looked golden in the light of the Coruscant sun. It was furnished with comfy couches, and only the finest furniture. Winter walked in and laid Frost on the closest couch.
She stood up and stretched her back.
"What do you think Hiro? Are you going to be comfortable? You haven't seen your room yet, but it looks very similar to ours. Except we had some Mandalorian input added to it. Go check it out! Go through that door right there. The glass one near the windows."

Hiro froze when he walked into his room. Memory's flooded him and the blackened smoke drifted from his mouth, his pupils shrinking to small dots. His hands gripped into fists.

It was just like his own house, the flags and colors. The warmth only reminded him of home. He could smell the earthly smell of the ground, the lost scents of his mother's cooking, he could hear his father training with him.
It was a long lost memory…
Hiro felt himself become lost in the memory, stepping into the room and looking around. "How.. how did you ace the memory.. I don't think I showed it..i-" he was speechless as an older picture stood out to him with a little note that held gentle writings 'from Leia "
It was a picture of his parents, it was a family picture. The frame had been made by a small child..

Elias reached out for Hiro.
"Watch out kiddo. Are you okay? Is everything alright? Did we do something wrong?"
Winter answered Hiro's question.
"Do you remember when you had that moment on our ship? Where I told you you could go let out your emotions because it was healthy? When I touched you, I saw your best memories. And once I see something, I can pull it from my memory, every little detail and all. Force Psychometry and a photographic memory. Remember. I can see the past, and Elias sees the future. Frost sees both. Poor little dude though. He's absolutely wasted. He exerted a ton of energy holding that shield up for so long. I'm super proud of him though. He's come such a long way. As for the pictures and the picture frame, the Mandalorians had a ceremony where they memorialized the fallen royal guards and their families by placing their items in cases for display, so that other Mandalorians could pay their respects, back on Mandalore. I holo called Leia while we were on the ship and told her we had picked up a Mandalorian child who had the royal guardian brand on his body. Her interest was piqued and she asked for your name. So I gave it to her. She obviously made contact with the Mandalorian senators, and they reunited some of your items back to you. I hope it's okay. Leia and I tried our best…"

"yeah mom.. it's wonderful.." he mumbled, wiping his eyes

Winter hugged Hiro.
"I'm so glad you like it. Now go get a shower. You stink of sweat and blaster fire. Hopefully by the time you're finished Frost will be coherent enough to realize he's being transported to your room and he'll continue to sleep while Elias and I shower."

Hiro nodded and went to take a shower.
During this he let his emotions go. The cloud was dark but still mixed in color. He hated fighting, but he had to, and in that he shut his mind off And became a killing machine. At the end of the fight though, so much had been built up that he was ready to explode.

Elias scooped Frost off the couch and gently tried waking him. Frost stirred, but didn't try to move. Winter went and drew Frost's bath. Elias brought him into the bathroom and undressed him and set him in the water. Winter had changed her clothes to soft Karlini silk. It was both water and blaster resistant, and she had gotten it from Naboo. She pulled her hair up and started washing Frost, using the Force to keep his head above water. Elias stood in the door frame watching how gently Winter washed Frost. He spoke softly.
"Hun, I think we should have another kid. You're obviously good with one kid, so maybe we're ready for two."
Winter looked back at him and rolled her eyes.
"I'll think about it. Right now I'm busy with our one child. He's clean, so I'm going to need you to get his soaking wet booty out of the bathtub and dry him off. Plus we just adopted Hiro by Mandalorian laws."
Elias sighed and took Frost out of the bath and wrapped him in a towel.
"Win I was trying to be sweet. I love Frost, and Hiro reminds me of me when I was younger. But I miss when Frost was little."
Winter kissed Elias on the cheek.
"I know you do you hun. That's why I said I'd think about it. I'm going to go see if Hiro is finished showering. So we can sit Frost in his room while we shower. Alright?"
Elias smiled and started dressing Frost.
"Alright love."

Hiro was about half dressed, dressed from the waist down. He jumped a bit as winter entered but figured she just had frost with her.

Hiros body was brushed with spots of darker skin along his chest. It looked like he'd been painted with mud. Mandalorian tattoos of blessings and warrior marks as well as slave sale numbers and scars lined his body. He wasn't proud nor embarrassed. It was his past and usually kept it hidden

Winter blinked hard when she walked in and saw Hiro shirtless.
"Holy smokes Hiro. You've been through the ringer. You, yourself contain history. From the scars to the Mandalorian tattoos, you've just experienced life haven't ya?"
Elias walked in holding a very sleepy Frost. He saw all of Hiro's marking and smiled.
"Looks like we have something in common. Here, look."
Elias handed Frost off to Winter and took his shirt off to reveal all the scars from his past adventures and mishaps.
"Most of these come from fights. The set of three on my back is from a wampa, and if you look at my chest, right over my heart, is a freeze brand. Winter has one too, and if we are talking scars, she has more than I do. Scars tell your history. But the freeze brand is something Hothians do when they get married. Metal rings, or rings in general are kind of cumbersome when you're out in the cold. Hothians marry for life, and when they want to split or one partner passes, the brand is slashed and broken. Never to become whole again. It's pretty cool. Anyways, here's Frost. Win and I are going to go shower. We will be back shortly. Go to your drawers and put on the Karlini silk clothes. They're lightweight and blaster resistant. That's what we'll be wearing."

Hiro nodded and laid frost down.once everyone was settled and the two were in the shower, Hiro laid next to his brother. He slowly but surely fell asleep, nestled into the blankets.

Hiro noticed quickly that it felt like someone was watching him sleep. He groaned and opened his eyes slightly "little brother.. go back to sleep.." he mumbled

Frost slowly blinked at Hiro. Sleepily he said,
"I think you like the Prince of Artorias."
He rolled back over and yawned.
"Am I right?"
Winter and Elias were enjoying their moments of peace. After they had showered, they put on ornate clothes made with Karlini silk. Winter brushed her hair out, and fixed it so her curls were down. Elias trimmed his hair and beard. It felt nice to do some self care. They checked their appearances in the mirror. Elias laughed.
"It's amazing what a trim and and hair cut can do. I look about 10 years younger."
Winter nudged him.
"My hair is down for the first time in a while. It feels so nice to have it down. I feel about 10 years younger after that shower. Shall we go wake Hiro and Frost?"
Elias pulled Winter close.
"Let them rest for about thirty more minutes. We have thirty minutes of down time to chill and relax and let our stress go. There's no telling when we'll get time like this again. Let's enjoy it."

"well.. I'm not sure little brother.. but, you might be right." He said and laughed softly

Frost rolled back over and he was looking into Hiro's eyes. He placed his small hands on Hiro's face, and got as close at he could to Hiro's face.
"I know I'm right."

Hiro smiled softly " how so?" He said, placing his hands on top of frosts.
"What are you not telling me little brother?" He asked slyly

Frost threw his hands up in the air.
"I don't know! I just know. I just get feelings sometimes. What do you like about him though? He has fluffy hair."

"that is definitely one, and his eyes.. they are nice " Hiro rambled, smiling stupidly

Frost rolled onto his stomach.
"Mhm. You should learn about his past. He seems pretty cool."

"he will tell me when he feels like it, some people do not like to share their past." He said softly. Hiro eventually sat up, getting ready for the dinner and doing his hair up. It was a beautiful look, especially with his long hair.

Frost sat on the bed and watched Hiro put his hair up.
"Ooo someone is looking nice. Wanna try to do my hair? Ama usually does it, but she's probably busy right now. Ada is probably trimming his hair and beard."

Hiro chuckled and patted the seat in front of his mirror.
He did frosts hair much like his own, just less tight, so frost your not feel like it was constantly tugging on his hair

Frost looked in the mirror and turned his head and looked at his hair.
“I think I look better than you do. If I say so myself. Anyways I’m going to head into the living room and wait for Ama and Ada. They should be done.”
Frost walked confidently into the living room and plopped down on the couch. No sooner had he had, Winter and Elias came out of their room looking like brand new people. Winter noticed Frost’s hair.
“Aw baby! It looks so good! Lemme guess, Hiro did it?”
Frost nodded excitedly.
Elias scooped his son up and spun him around.
“The hair looks nice buddy. Alright everyone. Who’s ready for dinner?”

Hiro came out seconds after he heard his mom and dad talking “ ready to go?”

Winter put her hands on her hips.
“I think we’re all good to go. Dinner should be amazing, as it always is. Leia has already sent me the seating chart, and Han and Chewbacca will be joining us. Leia is at the head of the table, then me and Elias. Then Prince Finn is beside Elias, and then Hiro, you’re beside Finn, Then across from me is Luke and beside him is Han, and beside Han is Chewbacca. Frost specifically asked to sit beside the Wookiee, and Leia agreed. So at the end of the table across from you Hiro, is Frost. Please make sure him and the Wookiee don’t start a food fight.”
Elias laughed.
“Frost got you good last time. Anyways I think I’m going to enjoy sitting in front of Han. He was a smuggler before he was a war hero. He’s probably got good stories to tell, and I want to listen.”
Winter rolled her eyes.
“I can’t even with you. But yes we are all ready, so let’s go out the door and into the elevator. It’s time for dinner.”

(Seating chart to help you visualize
Luke Han Chewbacca Frost
Leia
Winter Elias Finn Hiro)

(thx) hiro nodded and followed his parents out and to the dining hall.
He felt his breath leave in one fail swoop as he saw the prince “ wow..” he whispered

Leia and Luke were already there with the prince of Artorias. Winter put Frost in his seat, and she sat down beside Leia, and started gentle conversations Luke and Elias started talking about Han and Chewy, and Frost looked at Hiro and giggled.
The Prince of Artorias looked at Hiro and warmly smiled.
“Nice to see you again. You look very nice. However, we do need to work on your wardrobe for being a prince of Mandalore and an adopted prince of Hoth. I can totally help with designs! I love creating them. I do have one question for you though. How did you, come to meet the Hothians, when you’re Mando’a? That question has just been in my head since our first encounter.”

“ I was selling them shi- verrry legal shipments of parts. “ he said softly and sat down “ I got into a sticky situation and they helped me out..”!

The Prince of Artorias laughed.
“Sounds kind of like what happened with me. Artorias was under siege and Luke came out of nowhere and got me out of it. However I have not sold “very legal shipments of parts” yet.”
A commotion in the back of the room drew everyone’s attention. The roar of a Wookiee and the batter of a human drew laughter from Leia.
“Well everyone this is my husband Han and his right hand Wookiee, Chewbacca.”
Han looked at the Hothians, Hiro, and Finn.
“Nice to meet ya. Two of us look normal, and the other three are blue. What gives?”
Elias laughed and looked at Leia before turning to Han.
“I’m going to like him. Han, we’re blue because we are cold weather dwellers and we just naturally turn blue.”
Han smirked.
“I could make so many jokes that aren’t dinner appropriate, but my wife is here and I would die.”
Chewbacca roared and sat down beside Frost.
Frost immediately began talking to the Wookiee.
“I’m Frost. I will probably make a mess at dinner, or start a food fight. I do it every time. Would you like to help me?”
Chewbacca narrowed his eyes and roared in agreement. Frost cackled and looked at the Wookiee.
“We must wait for the perfect moment. But I am glad you are on my side.”
