   Summary

   Early in his career as his covert's beroya, Din Djarin visits Tatooine for his second time ever in pursuit of a bounty. He's hot, he's miserable, everything's stupidly expensive, and he keeps getting distracted – primarily by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed local boy.

   Yeah, he's pretty. And sure, he can coax a speeder into performing terrifying stunts Din's never seen outside of an action holo. But that's not necessarily a reason for his instincts to be all over the place when it comes to this guy, right?

    

   Right?
