    Summary

    At this time of night, there are only a few especially committed customers gracing the main, lower floor of the Warm Red Pavilion. He has little worry to give to his identity being revealed. A few girls tend to the customers on the floor, smiling sweetly as they listen to their stories and sit only a little closer than propriety would typically allow. On a small stage, across the room, a young woman plays the pipa with precise, careful fingers with her delicately painted eyes downcast towards the instrument and her lips parted in concentration.

    He has never seen her here before, and for a moment Shen Jiu’s fingers twitch, itching for a brush he doesn’t have—the image she paints so picturesque he finds himself longing to immortalize it. Surely, though, if he did, she would only laugh a soft, sweet laugh, and tell him how he flatters her, all while pushing the painting back into his arms.

    Or

    Shen Jiu meets a young man at the Warm Red Pavilion, and maybe, just maybe, it changes the course of his life.

    Summary

    Shen Jiu can’t help the way his worry shows itself as anger as he spits, through gritted teeth, “Yuan-shidi said the Bloodstone Caps were harmless.”

    “Haha, well…” Shen Yuan’s head begins to list again, so Shen Jiu cups his face to keep it upright. His palm must feel cool to the touch, because the other man nuzzles into it with a sigh; Shen Yuan's breath is damp against the exposed sliver of Shen Jiu’s wrist, and his lips brush against skin when he speaks. “I-It appears that I have been poisoned, so that theory might need some work.”

    Summary

    They settle at a table on the edge of the room, the Marshal leaning back in his seat to analyze Din. “You got a name, stranger?”

     

    Din can’t help but raise an eyebrow. So he doesn’t recognize him. “Din."

    “You can call me Cobb. I’m Marshal of a small town a ways away from here. Not much to do out there,” Vanth says with a grin.

    “Not much to do here, either,” Din tells him.

    “Oh,” Cobb says, grinning sharply at him, “there’s enough.”

    Din Djarin, no longer donning his armor, visits a club in Mos Eisley and encounters Marshal Cobb Vanth, who doesn't seem to recognize him. Din makes some poor decisions.

    Summary

    Cobb sits back and gives the man a once-over (or a twice-over, maybe a twentieth-over). The man’s got an absolutely remarkable nose, and he’s very alone. Cobb wants to build him a house, feed him slices of fruit, lock him in a safe and bury him in the sand. His eyes are so, so dark.
