Now both eyes popped all the way open and the gang leader grinned. “I gaht youuuah!” he chortled, crawling to his feet and letting out a peal of laughter. “Aahahahaha boyyyyee, youah haz gaht gaht!”

A whispered commotion rose from the Parapa goons. Two of them fell to their knees before their leader and fussed with him to make sure nothing was actually wrong, until he swatted them away. “Enoufah!” he yelled. “Mozeen Parapa ees ookay!”

One of the Parapas chirped something at him in Frizznothese and Mozeen shook his head, then replied in a scattershot deluge of squeaks, rasps, and clacking sounds. The goons all nodded, consulted briefly with one another, and then two of them unwrapped their headscarves to reveal thickly armored helmets, which then sighed and peeled open with a tiny burst of steam. Inside each, a tiny Frizznoth peered out. Then they both hopped down from their gigantic suits of mechanized armor and rushed up to Mozeen, arms open. The three Frizznoths squealed and fell into a joyous embrace.

Han threw Sana a knowing grin. “Toldya they wouldn’t be much—”

She cut him off with a sharp elbow to the kidney.

After extended hugging and some clacking, squealed explanations, Mozeen turned to Sana. “I transalayte, yes?”

Sana was still getting herself together from almost being skewered by seven bayonets and then blasted out of existence, so all she could do was nod enthusiastically.

“Eenstead of having youah slaooghtered for ze tranzgreshayon ahf keednappingah me,” Mozeen announced, “I insist we will honor the agreement we have brokared.”

“Thank you,” Sana said, eyebrows raised.

Chewie hooted.

“Why dooz I do theeze whan I can also joost az eahsily ave youah massacared?” Mozeen said slyly. “Because youah fed Mozeen veary well, treated heem with respect during theez taym of captivity, yes, and because youah most beautiful woman eena ze galaxy.”

Sana put a hand to her throat and closed her eyes, letting that luminous smile take over her whole face. “I don’t know what to say, Mr. Parapa. You are too kind.”
