Sabine poured herself a glass of bantha milk and leaned against the galley’s countertop. The freighter’s walls were thin, and she had heard the conversation in Kanan’s cabin. This Ezra kid was quite a troublemaker, sneaking aboard and picking the cabin lock. She would’ve been more impressed if he had used a detonator on the door, but she was impressed nonetheless.

The kid entered the galley. He smiled when he saw her, but was too nervous to say anything, so she broke the ice. “Not too good at following directions, are you?”

That smile didn’t leave him. “Not too much. You?”

“Never been my specialty.” She took a sip of her milk.

Ezra stepped toward her. “Who are you people?” he asked. She gave him a raised eyebrow. “I mean, you’re not thieves exactly.”

“We’re not exactly anything. We’re a crew. A team.” She paused, struck by a question she hadn’t fully considered before. “In some ways, a family.”

Ezra stopped, which was good, because if he came any closer, she might have to tell him to back off. She didn’t like her personal space invaded.

“What happened to your real family?” he asked.

That question she thought about every single day. It was like a charge that never stopped exploding. “The Empire,” she said. “What happened to yours?”

The kid looked away. So that was what he was hiding. Something tragic had happened to his family. She sympathized; she knew the pain. But he’d have to let it go, and soon. The galaxy was a mean place and had no room for sensitive types.

Zeb lumbered through the doorway, trailed by Chopper. He looked past the kid. “Kanan wants us in the common room.”

Sabine nodded and finished her milk. Zeb addressed the droid, pointing a stubby finger at Ezra. “If he tries anything, sound the alarm—or shoot him.”

Chopper quipped back with a query. Sabine was also curious what the droid could shoot, since the only “weapon” Chopper possessed was an electro-solder that could function as a Taser.

“Shush,” Zeb said to the droid. “Just watch him.”

The Lasat clomped off. Sabine put down her glass and went to follow. At the doorway, she looked back at Ezra, who now seemed more like a doe-eyed boy than a master thief.

“Sabine,” she said. “My name’s Sabine.”

His mouth opened to say something, but he was at a loss for words. She could tell he liked her. A lot. That could be useful if she needed anything done in the future.

Heading toward the cabin room, she heard Chopper snicker at Ezra. Funny how a droid knew more about the rules of human attraction than a human kid did.
