[Mando hasn't been too bothered by his own ghosts. Most of them were all business, and if they hadn't wanted to be killed, they should have surrendered and come with him. For some of them, death was probably preferable to whatever other punishment awaited them, and giving them what they wanted wasn't dishonourable. Still, there are a few that Mando has avoided: two humans, their edges blurred and faded with memory; a droid, tall and cylindrical; a solemn Ugnaught, riding a blurgg.]

[Riz's dragon had provided a decent distraction. First off, it was impressive that Riz managed to take him down, even with a team. Second, the dragon was a moron, with some really stupid ideas, and Mando has been keeping himself entertained--and avoiding facing his own ghosts--by arguing with him.

That isn't how it works at all. The wealthy planets like Coruscant keep all their wealth while the planets on the Outer Rim starve. Wealthy people aren't going to just give their money away, and...

[And then the dragon is gone. Mando blinks, and manages to catch a glimpse of one of those fish wiggling away.]

Don't touch any more of the fish, Riz, I don't want that dragon coming back.

[When Mando turns, though, he sees it's already too late. Another goblin has joined them, one he recognises from Riz's photograph.]

Your dad's here now?
