Cady looks up from her lap when she feels the motion of the landspeeder under her start to slow, and then Emmo maneuvers it to a stop near a cluster of trees.
"Jax!" A tall girl in yellow armor steps away from the trees. When she gets closer a nametag appears and Cady's eyes go wide when she notices the number underneath Deline Elaas's name.
<span class="mu-i">
Does she seriously have more Force points than Jax?! I definitely have a super-low amount!
</span>
"Jax, you disappeared a week ago without telling anyone where you were going!" Deline puts her hands on her hips, one hand above a lightsaber hilt. "Where were you?"
"Sorry if I worried you." Jax climbs over the side of the landspeeder. As Cady steps out he adjusts his jacket. "The ship we were on just landed."
"Good luck with your café date, sir." Emmo steers the landspeeder away from the plaza and disappears.
"Jaaa-ax? Who's this?"
<span class="mu-i">
She finally noticed me! I'm getting serious alpha female vibes from her! Do I seriously have to go through the first day of high school again?
</span>
"This is Cady..." Jax puts a fist over his mouth. "I mean..."
Cady steps back and looks around and then holds her hands past her sides in an invisible curtsy. "Princess Cady Omega of Sigis."
"Princess Cady, this is Deline Elaas, my ex-girlfriend. She-"
"EX-ex-girlfriend!" Deline leans against Jax and he stumbles back a step.
Jax starts to say "We both agreed..." when Deline gives Cady an icy glare.
"I am Deline of Mandalorian Clan Elaas."
<span class="mu-i">
Did she just say she's a Mandalorian? First popularized by the character Boba Fett, a ruthless bounty hunter, the Mandalorians are a group of martial experts known to rival the Jedi in battle skill even without Force powers! And she has a crazy high number of Force points!
</span>
"Jax, what did Emmo mean about a café date?" Deline grins up at Jax and flashes a quick glance at Cady.
<span class="mu-i">
She wants to kill me!
</span>
"My father wants us to go undercover there, in case whoever tried to kill Cady reveals themselves."
"What? An undercover mission?" Deline closes her mouth and looks at Cady and then looks back at Jax. "I should be the one to perform an important mission like this!"
<span class="mu-i">
That doesn't even make sense!
</span>
"Well, it was my father's idea, so..." Jax takes another step backward away from Deline.
Without looking back she follows his backstep and locks eyes with Cady. "We'll have a sparring match to find out who's more competent at defending herself."
<span class="mu-i">
This girl is insane! And this is obviously a death flag!
</span>
Deline ignites her lightsaber and the yellow blade crackles as it rises up past her eyes. "Take up your lightsaber, princess."
<span class="mu-i">
She literally has ten times as many Force points as me!
</span>
>I give up!
>This is just a sparring match, right?
>I thought Mandalorians had helmets...
