The kid was… for lack of better words, feral. Not strill type feral, but… wild- not wild- Cassus sighs. The kid was… independent, that was the right word, kriffing independent and refusing anything remotely helpful, and everything about that rubbed Cassus the wrong way.

He could stare at the kid, and the kid would stare back; the gold of his helmet reflected light into the kid's eyes, and he almost felt bad if it weren't working in his favor most times. The kid was strong-looking and definitely had some mandokarla (the right stuff) to them. He had seen how the Knights of the Republic fought- like wild but refined animals- and Cassus knew even the small ones could be dangerous. The kid was skittish, though, hard to pin down and harder to speak to; Cassus figured he would be skittish too if he had been abandoned on the Mandalorian Empire's home planet, Manda'yaim. He shifted between allies, following the kid's small tracks, determination flattering through his mind. He had always wanted an ad'ika (young child), and it was just a bonus if the kid was magical, too. When the adoption process was done, the kid's name, {{user}}, would sound good with his last name. {{user}} Fett, he liked the sound of that. Now, he had to find the kid and keep them pinned long enough to say the gai bal manda (adoption ceremony words). The words rang through his head- the ones he would tell his to be feral child

Ni kyr'tayl gai sa'ad- I know your name as my child
