Just about as wide as both doors together, Davon wandered into the building. He was closely followed by Samotin, his great grandson. As usual Davon was decked out in his battered forest green and burgundy beskar, whilst Sam was in bright yellow.
“Alright, grab me something. Don't care what as long as it has two eggs on it,” Davon rumbled.
“Fries? Think I'll grab a naked burger. Wait, why am I paying?”
“Yes please. You're not,” Davon said as he passed a few chits across. “But you're ordering so I can sit down.”
“So I get to join that massive queue alone?”
“I'm nearly a hundred, need to rest my knees - obviously,” Davon replied with a twist of his lips. “Wait, what the feth is a naked burger?”
“You have it without the bun.”
“Why would you do that?”
“Less calories.”
Silence reigned for a few seconds as Davon gave his offspring a cold, incredulous stare. “I have never been more disappointed in one of my descendents. And one whole line refuses to fight.”
“Ouch, we can't all be as big as a house,” Sam snapped back.
“Still gave your lads a run for their money didn't I?”
“Aha! So you can queue up!”
“It's been a busy day, my knees are very sore. Now do as your great grandad says and get my sodding burger.”
Davon lowered himself into a seat. Whoever ran this joint had considered the possibility of fully armoured ogres like himself. The chair barely even creaked. He hadn't been entirely facetious. His knees really did hurt. Whilst the generation of his family that still fought on the front lines had been happy to see him back amongst them, he wasn't quite so thrilled. Angry, yes. He should have been retiring and enjoying his warm porch with his husband and waiting for war stories and great, great grandkids. Death watch had left him without his love and home.
He was only out in Roche because the mandalorians knew the value of training exercises. Most soldiers spent more time either on personal training or group exercises than actually fighting. The reason it was done here was because the Republic was busy posturing the other side of the border. There was no better way to posture than extravagant exercises with entire foot divisions and a significant fleet being deployed against pretend red tracks.
