I almost gasped as I was woken up with a start. My body jolted slightly. I snapped my eyes open and looked around. I let out a sigh when I remembered what was going on and that I wasn't in any danger. The wagon that they had been riding in all night had finally come to a stop. I was startled again when I noticed my head was leaning up against silver beskar.
At some point during the night my head had lulled to the side and landed on Mando's shoulder. I don't know how long I've been laying like this, but Mando hadn't moved an inch, trying his hardest not to wake me up.
I quickly moved my head from off of his shoulder. I glanced over at him and saw him roll his shoulder slightly. My suspicions of him not moving were definitely confirmed.
"Sorry." I muttered quietly to him as I rolled my stiff neck to the side.
"Don't worry about it." He replied just as quietly.
I then looked out of the wagon. They had stopped at a clearing in the woods that held a village. It seemed like a nice place. It was small and quiet, but that's exactly what they need right now.
"Everyone, they're here!" A kid called
The kids of the village all ran towards us in excitement. They stopped at the side of the wagon and looked at the child who was staring up at them.
"Well, looks like they're happy to see us." Mando said
"Looks like." Cara Said
"He's so cute." One of the kids said, they were crowded around the kid. The child seemed to be amused and happy with the attention he was getting, he began to babble at them.
"Aw!" One of the kids said
Mando, Cara and I stood up from the wagon and hopped off. The villagers began to crowd around the wagon and collect their things, helping them to unpack.
Mando and I were greeted by one of the villagers. They told us where we were going to be staying for the time being. I felt grateful that they were going to give us a place to stay, but apparently not as grateful as them. They really needed our help.
After a short walk through the village. Mando and I stood awkwardly at the entrance to a large barn. A woman stood in the room, opening the blinds to let light into the hut.
She was tying a rope to a pole when she glanced over and noticed us. "Please come in." She said
Mando nodded and made his way into the hut, he had to duck underneath the doorway.
I slowly walked in after him, taking a look around the decent sized house the people were letting us stay in. It was bigger than the crest and some Inns we have stayed in.
"I hope this is comfortable for you. Sorry that all we have is the barn." The woman said
"This will do fine." Mando replied
"Yeah, it's good. Thank you." I said
"I stacked some blankets over here." She said, gesturing to the corner of the room
"Thank you. That's very kind." Mando replied gratefully
He took a seat but then tensed. He spun around quickly with his blaster raised. I flinched and reached for my blaster before I looked at the door and noticed a young girl. The young girl who was at the door went to run away. She was understandably scared.
The woman walked over to the door and gestured for the girl to come stand at the entrance. She placed her arm around her.
"This is my daughter, Winta." She said, the young girl wrapped her arms around her mothers waist. "We don't get a lot of visitors around here. She's not used to strangers. This nice man and lady are going to help protect us from the bad ones." She said to Winta
