[Riz recognises the armour, of course. It isn't even from living with Mando for more than a year now; Mandalorian armour is distinct enough that he feels he'd have recognised it even if he had only ever seen it once in his life.
(the fact that he sees said armour every day across the breakfast table does kind of help though)
If there is another Mandalorian here, he'll have to inform Mando. And Riz might have left it at that -- he might have just taken the knowledge of another Mandalorian being here and reported it to Mando, leaving him to deal with another one of his kind, if it weren't for her doing the unthinkable: she takes her helmet off.
Listen, Riz has been navigating Mando's absolute refusal to ever take off the tin can for more than a year now. He's seen him panic like his ass was on fire the one time the helmet was taken from him (which had led to a complicated but kind of hilarious Mando-walking-with-a-shirt-around-his-head manoeuvre). He's done the whole if-Mando-is-in-a-room-we-don't-open-it-ever deal. Bo-Katan taking off the helmet piques his interest and now he has to talk to her.
And that is how Bo-Katan ends up with a very short teenager scrambling onto the seat next to her, leg still rather stiff, his eyes curious though not particularly judgemental.]
I thought those weren't supposed to come off.
[Never let it be said that Riz is good at small talk.]
