[ It's odd thinking of Vader as a family man. A few months ago, he'd been practically a myth, a nightmare to frighten the would-be enemies of the Empire. Picturing him fishing to put food on the table feels discordantly mundane.
Still, Boba won't argue with his motivations. He motions to the boat off to the side with a jerk of his head. ]
Should be ready to go in another minute or two.
[ As much as Boba had been expecting this to be a solo job, there's worse company than Vader to have along. He supposes he has his older self to thank for making a good first impression—if Vader is still somewhat of an intimidating presence, it helps to know that the man has, at the very least, a favorable disposition towards Boba's continued existence.
Plus, Boba would be lying if he said he wasn't a little curious about how the right hand of the Emperor might go about catching fish. He doesn't have a helmet concealing his eyes now, so it's clear from the direction of his glance that he's checking if Vader brought a lightsaber. ]
I take it you've brought something suitable for the job.
