Ezra doesn't know how long but felt as if time has stopped as he's standing face to face with Konda. The man in front of him still has his typical obnoxious smirk as he stares back at Ezra. Pushing aside his emotions, Ezra starts to walk around him, but is stopped when Konda places a hand on his shoulder.

As soon as his hand made contact though Ezra felt a small pain and reals back from him.

"Ow!" Ezra looks over to the Mandalorian with a confuse frown.

Konda laughs and pulls his hand away.

"My apologies it must've been my commlink it tends to act up time to time." He says raising his wrist and showing the commlink sending out a few sparks.

Ezra watches as he lowers his hands falling close to his blasters. Other than the few occasions he's meet him Ezra still has no idea who this guy is or how he thinks. He knew to keep his guard up just incase anything happens.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Konda asks out of the blue.

He's probably talking about Sabine and from the way he's looking in the direction of her room Ezra starts to feel his stomach churn.

"I'm quite curious as to how she'll act once I take her in my bed."

Ezra's left eyes starts to twitch and slowly he can feel his fists clenching. As much as he would like to say something to him he knew better than to causes trouble right now…the duel…save it for the duel.

"Oh, I apologies again I didn't mean to just talk to myself like that." Konda looks at Ezra. "I must say I am quite excited for our little fight."

"Hmm so am I." Ezra turns to leave trying to get away from this guy as soon as he can. "I'm…pretty tired so I'll just head off back to my room."

"May I ask you something jedi?" Konda asks stopping Ezra.

He lets out a sigh and turns around reluctantly facing the young Mandalorian. He waits quietly waiting for him to asks so that he can leave.

Konda walks up to Ezra with his face only a few inches away.

"When my prize is in my bed will you break or will you just except it."

It's as if glass shattering, Konda is sent flying down the hall with Ezra holding his hand up as he used the force.

Konda stops himself halfway through the hall by slamming his feet onto the ground and using all his might to hold himself in place. He looks up with an excited look which only makes Ezra push harder reeling back is arm and pushing it forward. Konda slowly reaches down to wear his blaster are while at the same time holding himself up.

Like a gunslinger he whips out his blaster and fire causing Ezra to pull out his lightsaber and grab it with both hands to block the laser bolt.

With the force no longer pushing him back, Konda regains his stance and charges Ezra while at the same time firing off a few shots.

Ezra blocks the incoming bolts while dodging a few strays. When Konda gets too close Ezra prepares to strike but is shocked when Konda raises his arm braces. As much as he hates the man he didn't want to kill him. Though he didn't have to worry because when his lightsaber makes contact with his braces the saber recedes back into its hilt.

"What the…" Before Ezra can figure out what's happening Konda lands a quick punch to his face making his jump back. Shaking his head, he reignites his lightsaber only for to flash on and off. Ezra gives it's a confused look he looks up at Konda who's smirking back at him.

"Surprised?" He raises his arms to show off his braces. "Cortosis your lightsaber will be useless for the next few minutes." His smirk grows even bigger. "Well Jedi…what will you do without your precious…GWAH!"

Ezra is quick on his feet as he rushed the gloating warrior and gave him a solid punch to the gut. Konda stumbles back with a bit of shock in face.

It's Ezra's turn to smirk as he raises his arms and goes into a stance with one arm raised higher than the other.

"Just because I'm a jedi doesn't mean a lightsaber is the only thing I know how to fight with."

Readjusting himself Konda gets back into his stance and smiles.

"Well I suppose you be as easy then?" Konda begins to charge which makes Ezra do the same.

Rage…that's what he's fill with, Ezra just couldn't hold himself together the more he hears Konda talk the angrier he became.

Both of them raise their fists to strike one another neither of them caring about who or what is around them.

"Ezra!"

The jedi skids to a stop while at the same time Konda use his arms and feet to stop himself against the walls. They both look up to see Sabine standing behind Ezra her expression scarier than anything Ezra has ever seen.

"Karabast…" Ezra whispers to himself.

She storms over to her mate her footsteps loud and heavy.

"Why are you here just to visit me?" Konda says in a mocking tone. "My I'd rather prefer you coming to my room direc-ack!"

With a single swing she lands a hate filled punch to his face sending the big mouthed Mandalorian down the hall and sliding against the ground. She's taking deep breaths as she stares down at the now unconscious heir. She turns to look at Ezra with an annoyed expression.

Oh no…Ezra thinks to himself he's seen this look on Hera when Kanan did something stupid. He needs to think quick on how to calm her down…what would Kanan do? With his best attempt an innocent smile grows on his face as he raises his hands. He prayed that this worked and thankfully it seems that it did…he thinks.

Letting out a sigh, Sabine points down the hall towards the direction of her room.

"Room…now." She orders.

Not needing to be told twice, Ezra turns and quickly speed walks back to her room.

Once in the room, Ezra is sitting o the edge of the bed while Sabine is rummaging through her pack while mumbling to herself.

Ezra felt as if he's a student at some academy waiting to be called into the headmaster's room for his punishment. He jumps when Sabine finally turns around to look at him a brown bottle in her hand and a white cloth in the other.

She sits down next to him and grabs his face a bit too forcefully. She tilts his face then turns it side to side when she finds what she's looking for she starts to dab the cloth on top of the bottle and carefully flips its.

"Hold still." She says almost growling. Bringing up the cloth she starts to press down onto his cheek with the cloth.

Ezra tries to pull back when he felt a cold sting, but Sabine has her hand behind his face keeping him in place.

"Quit squirming!" Sabine threatens. "Don't be such a baby and hold still." Once she finishes applying the ointment she pulls the cloth away and lets out a sigh. "What were you thinking?"

"Sabine I'm sorry," Ezra quickly says. "he just bumped into me and I was going to leave but he started to say some things and I just…I couldn't." He lowers his head and clench his fists. "Even with my training to ease my mind…I…I just couldn't stand still and let him talk the way he did."

Sabine stares at him and lets out a sigh knowing full well what he probably means. Scooching closer to him she leans her head on his shoulder.

"I know, but we can't do anything like that when we're on his ship after he did…save…us." A sour expression forms on her face. "Wow…that is not easy to say."

Ezra lightly laughs as he leans his head onto her. He smiles as he takes in her scent which calms him down with every breathe.

"I couldn't let him talk about you like that."

I know." Sabine readjusts her head to look up at him. "But save it for the actual day." She places a light kiss on his cheek.

When the ships lands on Krownest, Sabine and Ezra are waiting in the loading bay ready to leave. They're inspecting their gear making sure everything is still functional and whatever needs to be repaired.

Konda walks up to the two with two of his men behind him.

The two look up with an annoyed expression as their…host smiles back at them.

"I do hope you two enjoyed your stay in my ship." He says.

Neither of them answers as they went back to their gear.

Konda scoffs as he lowers the large doors.

Greeting them outside is the head of the house, Ursa Wren with her husband and son standing behind her. Multiple guards surrounded the ship not the ground and above their weapons ready to strike. She's almost surprised to see Sabine and Ezra walking out of the ship but shrugs it off as she would ask for the reason later.

Konda walks behind them and bows his head to the lady of the house.

Neither party says anything as the Wren's escort their people back to the fortress leaving the Heir of Elder back at his ship.

In the throne room, Sabine and Ezra are standing in front of her mother who had a stoic expression.

"It would seem that you've lost your ship?" she asks. "Were you able to find the missing crewmembers?"

The two nod their heads.

"They were ambushed by a group of hire mercenaries." Sabine says pulling out a holopad from her pack. "The insignia on their ships is something I haven't seen before maybe with more research I can figure out where they came from."

Her mother nods her head placing a hand under her chin thinking on how to go on with the situation.

"Very well then," she looks back up and to her surprise she sees something different about Sabine. She quickly pushes it aside as she looks at everyone in the room. "You both did well go and rest…and master Bridger?"

Ezra looks up to face a curious look on his face.

"I'll send a crew to retrieve your ship and do what they can to repair it."

With a small smile Ezra gives her a small bow before making his way out of the throne room though not before giving Sabine a look to which her mother caught.

Everyone starts to leave the room, but Ursa is quick to stop Sabine from following her jedi.

"Sabine," her mother says stopping her. "a word."

Sabine stops with Ezra doing the same, she turns to look at him giving him a smile as she spoke with her eyes. Giving him a silent goodbye Sabine walks back over to her mother slightly confused.

"Yes mother?" Sabine asks.

Her mother gets up from her throne and makes her way outside towards the balcony signaling her daughter to follow her. Sabine follows her out making her way to her side. She looks up to see her mother staring out into the lake her expression hard to understand.

"So, it seems you and Ezra have had quite the event." Sabine's mother asks.

"Yes," Sabine responds. "Though he did give me a scare."

The head of the house nods her head turning to look at her daughter. Not being to keen on holding back her thoughts she decides to just say what is needed to be said.

"You do know that he must still fight whether he's bonded to you or not." She says with little to no subtly.

Sabine almost jumps back by her words her eyes wide and her head turning.

"What…what do you mean?"

Her mother lets out one of her rare laughs though only quietly. She turns to look at her daughter whose face is bright red. Knowing that she is correct, Ursa turns back to the lake.

"We may have been separated for most of your young adult life, but I'm still your mother and I know when my own daughter has chosen a mate."

Sabine is completely baffled by her mother…how in all of the galaxy did she know?

"Do not worry I'm sure theirs a reason for you and master Bridger to keep this a secret." Another laugh escapes her. "Did you know your father and I actually kept our love a secret for some time?"

Calming herself down, Sabine shakes her head her expression now curious.

"Well as you know your father…he…chooses to use his mind rather than his hands."

Sabine nods her head as she listens to her mother speak.
