Shaking. Fennec couldn't stop her hands from shaking. Adrenaline was still coursing through her body, and the moment she had released her death grip on the blaster she had been holding, her hands had started shaking. She'd had countless near death experiences in her life, but there had always been a way out. She had always been able to fight her way out. But there hadn't been some way to escape, there was no way for anyone to fight their way out of this situation. If that Jedi hadn't shown up when he did, they all would've been dead. Except Moff Gideon and The Child. The adrenaline still hadn't worn off. Fennec's hands were still shaking when she commed Boba and told him that he could come get her. Years of experience helped her keep her voice steady. She kept herself as uninvolved as possible with the whole Darksaber debacle between Bo-Katan and Din. When Boba arrived, Fennec helped Cara drag the still unconscious Moff Gideon to the ship, Din trailing a bit behind them. They got situated, and Boba took off. Fennec looked between Din and Cara and sensed that the two friends might want some privacy, so they could talk about what happened. She excused herself and made her way up to Boba. Now her legs were beginning to feel shaky. Adrenaline was starting to fade, and a bit of fatigue was starting to creep in to replace it. She sat down in the co-pilots seat, well, more like dropped into the seat. "You okay?" Boba asked, "Yeah." Fennec said, keeping her gaze fixed on the blue swirl of hyperspace. She reached up to strap herself in, but Boba caught her hand, "Your hands are shaking." he stated, "I'm fine, just...coming off an adrenaline rush." Fennec said, still not meeting his gaze, "What happened?" Boba asked. Fennec sighed slightly, "I'll tell you later." she said, turning to meet his gaze, the look in her eyes saying that she didn't feel like reliving the day just yet. "Okay." Boba said, giving her hand a squeeze. Fennec strapped herself in, then closed her eyes, taking the opportunity to rest a little. Rest was short lived though. They dropped Moff Gideon off to the New Republic, then dropped Din and Cara off on Nevarro, then stopped on Geonosis, before finally making their way to Tatooine. A new chapter was beginning, but Fennec would not forget what happened...what could have happened on the light cruiser, anytime soon.
A/N: I re-watched the season 2 finale of the Mandalorian, and got inspired to write this. Anyway, on to some important matters. Firstly, I'm sorry it's been so long since I updated. Between some serious writers block, and the fact that I'm suddenly more busy than I have been in the last two years, my life's been a little crazy. Now, in regards to future updates, I do intend to do more. However, I'm currently trying to write an original story, plus I've got a lot of plot bunnies for a lot of fandoms so I'm going to be trying to write and publish those as well. So updates on this particular story are still going to be slow, but I am not abandoning it. PrincessLD, thank you for your suggestions, I do plan on writing them at some point, hopefully soon. For those who want more of Boba and Fennec, fear not! I plan on writing a few stories about them. I'm also going to start a collection of BOBF Au One-shots, hopefully soon. Anyway, suggestions are welcome and very appreciated, please keep them in the K or K plus rating. I appreciate all of your reviews, and I apologize for any grammar mistakes, as well as long waits in between new chapters. As always, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
