ames has been a bounty hunter off and on for most of his adult life. he was raised on his parents' bounty hunter ship and has worked with his mom off and on over the years with him just recently starting to work with her again while being stationed on terminus. it's not something i've thought of before but maybe her parents were kind of partners with his parents and they ran/run the bounty hunter ship together and the two grew up together on the ship? if that's not something you'd be into though, we can at least say they crossed paths on the job over the years!
