Alaina carefully unwrapped the gauze wrap around her arm seeing her wound was fairly healed from the last time she had seen it. The bacta spray worked wonders and she threw out the wrap no longer needing it. It had been five days since they saved the child from Nevarro. They simply floated in space trying to find a better planet after the next to be safe. The ship shook violent and Alaina frowned only to see the child had flicked a button causing Din to quickly grab him away.

" And now you are going to sit with me." She said taking the child from Din so he could focus on driving the Razor Crest." You just like touching anything, don't you?"

" Sorgan." Din spoke causing her to look over to him." Looks like there's no star port, no industrial centers, no population density. Real backwater skug hole. Which means it's perfect for us."

She nodded her head," It sounds like a great place."

" You ready to lay low and stretch your legs for a couple of months, you little whomp rat?" Din teased playing with the child's hand while Alaina faked a gasp.

" Hey, we can call him a whomp rat, but not to his face." She said covering one of his large ears.

Din shook his head turning back to the controls," Nobody's gonna find us here." He said when she nodded her head.

" I trust you."

The words were simple, but some how it made Din beam with pride that she said it. She trusted him. A bounty hunter. Of all things she had every right to not trust him, but she did and it made him happy to know it. He drove down to the planet of Sorgan seeing how it was mostly green with a few patches of blue for swamps. When they entered the atmosphere, Alaina's eyes widen at the greenery the planet had to offer. Trees grew everywhere with wild animals running down below and small parts of water appearing.

" Wow." She gasped amazed how every planet they went to was so different from the next.

Din landed the Razor Crest on perfect land making sure it wasn't going to cave in by the weak marshes before turning off all the engines and power.

" Listen. Alaina and I are gonna go out there and I'm gonna look around." He spoke to the child who stared up at them with big eyes." It shouldn't take too long. Now, don't touch anything. I'll find us some lodging, then I'll come back for you. You stay right here. You stay. Don't move. You understand?"

The child simply cooed causing Din to give him two thumbs up.

" Great." He said opening the back door and climbing down the ladder with Alaina.

" Are you sure he's going to be okay here alone?" She worried looking back up the ladder.

" We're not going to take that long." Din answered passing her a blaster." Here, I want you to carry this."

She frowned," I thought Soren was peaceful."

" This is for just in case." He said walking down to punch the ramp button.

She walked by his side watching the ramp in the back open and slowly let down the ramp they would need to walk down. A coo was heard by her side and she frowned along with Din turning to see by his right leg, was the child smiling up at him.

Din sighed shaking his head," Oh, what the hell? Come on."

She smiled at the child walking after Din down the ramp and looking to the planet of Sorgan around her. The forest unfolded in front of her. The ground is surprisingly springy under her feet and she turned away from Din and look up into the canopy of trees ahead of them.
