This is a funny introduction to the bond between the clones and Numa. We love how it shows that even a “defenseless” child can be a handful for a battle-hardened soldier.

Waxer and Boil find a young Twi’lek girl named Numa hiding in the ruins of a city. Boil’s immediate annoyance at being bitten establishes his “grumpy” persona, which makes his eventual softening toward her even sweeter.
