Oh, goddamn. My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand. Taking mine, but it's been promised to another. Oh, I can't. Stop you putting roots in my dreamland. My house of stone, your ivy grows. And now I'm covered in you.

Everyone was deep in their sleep dreaming of nothing, but darkness underneath their eyelids. Alaina slept with her head on Din's shoulder unknowingly, but he was no different with his arm draped around her to keep warm through the night. It wasn't until the wagon had abruptly stopped that cause them, including Cara to spring into alertness.
" I'm awake! I'm..." Alaina groggily called out when she noticed how close she was to Din turning red." Sorry. I...I must of-"
" You're fine, Alaina." He whispered the same shade as her.
She nodded her head turning back to see Caben and Stoke greet people as they ran to the wagon while the rest hurried to greet the new guest. Alaina smiled lightly to the village seeing adults and children alike drop nets into trenches and drag them along, seining the water for the krill that live in it. When the children realized the new guest, they shouted happily running to the wagon.
" Everyone, they're here!"
" Well, looks like they're happy to see us." Din muttered watching how the children giggled.
Cara nodded her head," Looks like."
The children stopped by the wagon with rounds of gasping when seeing the child slowly peer up and stare right back at them.
" Hi. He's so cute."
The child cooed loudly in excitement while the three adults emptied out of the wagon. Steeping down into the mud, Alaina smiled at how breath taking the village was with wild greenery just about everywhere and the marshes that channeled everywhere giving both fishing areas and clean water.
" This place is so cool."
" Please. It's just a marsh." Cara coughed sarcastically.
" iT's JuSt A mArSh." Alaina mocked only to get a small elbow in her side from Din.
She crossed her arms over her chest turning and grabbing her bag from the wagon while the others did the same. An older man came up to Alaina and Din smiling brightly as he passed by some villagers with their belongings.
" Thank you for coming." He said placing his hands together." I begged the maker to bring Nobel warriors and I can see he has done that."
Alaina smiled thinking Din would say something given he was the Nobel warrior, but he said nothing causing her to quickly answer.
" No problem. I'm Alaina and this is my friend, the Mandalorian, and she's Cara Dune." She greeted pointing to each person and getting a groan out of Cara.
The older man smiled," We have an open barn for you all over here. Omera will help you settle in." He said pointing to the barn in the distance that looked unused.
" Thank you." Alaina said picking up the child and walking over with Din." Be a little nice."
" I was being nice."
" Right. Just staring at them through your tin can is being nice."
He turned is head giving a small tilt," Did you just call me a tin can?" He questioned only for her to give a small laugh before yawning." Still tired?"
