Gairus caught up and saw it was just a little kid. "Jeez, kid. You shoulda just showed yourself. What, you think we'd kill a kid?" He said, scratching the back of his neck.

"Let go! Let go!" Tabula shreiked as she struggled and hit Mareal with her stuffed toy. "Let go!" she screamed and instictively opened her hand and gave Mareal a strong push with the force. "Im- Im sorry, I didnt mean to." Tabula apologized and checked to see if Mareal was alright.

Mareal had to take the blow of the Force like a true jedi. Fortunately, she had already been somewhat prepared for it. It was a decent shot, although against a soldier like Mareal it would have been easily negated. The problem was that Force Users were hunted across the galaxy. If she flew back, and hid her identity as a jedi, the twerp would never know, but at the same time, blow the child's cover. Simultaneously, any strong defense that Mareal made would blow her own. So, she compromised.
Seeing the girl prepare for a push, Mareal shoved her head down and took the blow upon her head, making it look like a decent right hook instead. Falling to the ground, she took the blow like an adult, though she would need some asprin later. Sitting on her bum, Mareal noticed Tabula standing over her.
"A-cha-cha... It's all right, vee one. You surprized me vith dat strong palm of yours."

"Whoah! Kid, you gotta watch that stuff!" Gairus exclaimed squatting down to get to eye-level with Tabula. "Where you from, Kiddo?" he asked, trying to look somewhat friendly.

"Yeah?" Gairus said, "I'm from Corellia. What's your name?" Gairus remained squatted and scratched his chin.

"Relax. Dee poor child is probably traumatized. Give her a minute to calm down," Mareal said to Gairus. "Dee last ding I'd vant is an interrogation."

"Alright. So, Tabula. I take it you're a stowaway, and considering you were at the vending machines, that you're starving. C'mon, I'll get you some food." Gairus held out a hand to Tabula, and stoop upright. "Hey, you gonna be okay?" Gairus asked Mareal.

"Dat isn't important. She's a stowavay, right? Vat if dee oder crew see her? Von't the captain hafe a fit? It's costing me tventy-one k to fly. How is dis girl going to pay dat much?" Mareal said, her intuition catching an obvious problem.
"Yag is a Mandalorian. He's not going to be easy on a child."

Tabula looked at the man's hand and feeling that he ment no harm, put her small hand into his large one.

"Well we don't have to tell anyone, now do we?" Gairus said, walking towards the vending machine with Tabula by his side. As they reached the machine, Gairus pulled out two credits, and bought two candy bars; one for himself, and one for Tabula. "Now, kid, this is important. You have to stay hidden. You've been doing a good job at that so far." Gairus said, opening his candy bar. "If they find out I'm helping you, I'm out on a good job, and that will make us both up a certain creek."

“Aye aye cap’.” She smirked, folding one leg under her as she sat down. Gentle she swiveled her seat with one foot to face Kaleb. “So, how long my shift and who’s reliving me?”

Tabula nodded and tore into her candy bar without delay and in seconds it was gone.
