[Mando visits the Armorer at the Mandalorian enclave on Nevarro, bringing the camtono of Beskar bars he got as bounty from The Client]
[looks at Beskar bars as the other Mandalorians witness] This amount can be shaped in many ways.
My armor has lost its integrity. I may need to begin again.
Indeed. I can form a full cuirass. This would be in order for your station.
That would be a great honour.
I must warn you, it will draw many eyes.
[grabs one Beskar bar and snorts at seeing the Imperial logo] These were cast in an Imperial smelter. These are the spoils of the Great Purge. The reason we live hidden like sandrats. [tosses the bar back on the table]
Our secrecy is our survival. Our survival is our strength.
Our strength was once in our numbers. Now we live in the shadows and only come above ground one at a time. Our world was shattered by the Empire with whom this coward shares tables. [reaches for Mando's helmet to remove it but they fight until they come to knifepoint]
[stands up to stop the fight] The Empire is no longer, and the Beskar has returned. When one chooses to walk the Way of the Mandalore, you are both hunter and prey. How can one be a coward if one chooses this way of life? Have you ever removed your helmet?
No.
Has it ever been removed by others?
Never.
This is the Way.
This is the Way. [Vizsla and Mando let off each other]
This is the Way.
What caused this damage?
A mudhorn.
Then you have earned the mudhorn as your signet. I shall craft it. [The Mandalorian and the Armorer sit back down]
I can't accept. It... wasn't a noble kill. I was... helped by an enemy.
Why would an enemy help you in battle?
It... did not know it was my enemy.
Since you forego a signet I shall use the excess to forge Whistling Birds.
Whistling Birds will do well. Reserve some for the Foundlings.
As it should always be. The Foundlings are the future. This is the Way.
This is the Way.
This is the Way.
