Of Mothers and Sons (LA - D10)

[Craw Toboga]

Craw's eyes flared with anger, he spoke with a quiet rage. "Don't you call her that. Don't you ever fucking call her that. I'm the one in the wrong here, I fucked up, cause she was the best fucking thing to ever happen to me. And I'm planning on facing up to that mistake, no matter what." He was silent again for a moment, before continuing. "Don't know about Uncle Graavos, never talked about no money. But he didn't really talk that much anyway. In any case I made due."

[Dapper Dog]

"Boy you better realize who you're talking to. I brought you into this world and I will be damned if I let some bitch take you out of it. If she so good then she better treat you right otherwise I'm putting a blaster between them eyes and moving on. I'm your momma, and I don't care if you shoot a Hutt in the nethers I will go to hell and back if they try and kill you. This ain't about being right, it's about family," she says taking another swig from the jug.

"You're my blood, lovers come and go, but you will always be my blood. I took my licks so you didn't have to, so you know damn well I ain't just singing a tune."

[Craw Toboga]

"I said don't call her that!" He snapped at her. After his little outburst he seemed to relax though, and even visibly deflated slightly. "Aw hell... It's not like I can stop you if I'm dead." He gave a dark chuckle before continuing, after another long pause. "I don't think she'll kill me. I guess... I guess I sort of wish for the easy way out from meeting her... She's not gonna let me off that easily I know that. She's gonna want an explanation and force me to look her in the eye and tell her that I'm a coward... It's not that I'm afraid to admit that, it's that I'm afraid to admit it to her. Cause looking her in the eye... That's..." He shook his head, letting the sentence trail off.

[Dapper Dog]

"Well that's your problem, keep it your problem, but if she kills you or maims you then it's my problem. I ain't good at much but killing and drinking," she says honestly.

"I got any grand kids running around"

[Craw Toboga]

Craw slowly shook his head. "Naw. Not that I know of. Sort of one of the reasons I spooked from the wedding in the first place."

[Dapper Dog]

"I'll give you some advice my ma gave me, if it's right you'll know. If ain't right you'll know. If you ran it ain't right, maybe it will be later, but that's the bare bones truth, son. If she means that much make it right, but don't force it just cause you feel guilty, life ain't fair and wasting time on making it so is just being foolish," she says finishing the jug.

[Craw Toboga]

Craw listened, and nodded slowly. "I don't know if it'll be right. I hope it'll be... But in any case I gotta make amends at least... It... It ain't been a good few years." He sighed, looking into the distance. "I've been trying to drink myself to death since I left... Made a lot of mistakes on the way. Thinking I made one by trusting this crew... I hope I didn't."

[Dapper Dog]

"Trust a gun and family, is my motto," she responds. "Everything else, kriff 'em."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw nodded. "Yeah. I know. Thought I could trust em like family... Had a job last night that sorta shook me. One of em tricked me into going back on a contract. Backstabbing an employer." He sighed. "But then again, the same one got you outta that mine so I don't really know what to feel."

[Dapper Dog]

"Once a traitor always a traitor, they did it once they will do it again," she replies bitterly. "This ain't no scale and you ain't balancing nothing. If they betray you once, they will do it again and then smile and say but look at all the good I done you, kriff em'."

[Craw Toboga]

"Yeah." Craw says somberly. "You're probably right. "

[Dapper Dog]

"Just how it is, son, just how it is," she responds. "Now where can I get cleaned up, I need clothes too."

[Craw Toboga]

Craw coughs. "Yeah, there's a room up the hallway. Last one on the right. Got that set up for you." He starts to get up. "I gotta go wrap up some loose ends I'll be back in a few hours."

[Dapper Dog]

"Bring back food and good booze," she says heading to her room.
