While Cara and Mando's went off to investigate for the villagers, Celeste was ordered to stay put, and watch over the kid. She was obviously annoyed that the man kept her away from all the chaos. He wouldn't even train her to fight properly, which was even more annoying. How else will she able to defend herself, when she found herself in a sticky situation?

"Hey." A voice says from behind, causing her to turn around to face a nervous looking Caben.

"Hey?" She says almost surprised that the guy was making conversation with her again.

"You okay?" He asks the girl, once realizing her tense posture. Stock had managed to talk Caben into trying to conversing with the girl more, but he was growing worried that she now wasn't in much of the head space now for it.

"Yeah. I just wish he took me a bit more seriously... You know?" She says while looking over to Caben, which had made his heart skip a beat.

"Maybe, It's better off you didn't go with." Caben starts off saying, confidence suddenly rolling off his tongue, causing the girl to be taken aback.

"Why?" She asks, clearly interested in his sudden opinion, especially when coming from a man's side of things.

"It's dangerous, you have no idea what those raiders are capable of doing." Caben says almost acting if Celeste was oblivious.

" Maybe if he taught me to protect myself, I could handle myself."

"Maybe he's just trying to protect you as much as possible, so you don't have too."

"What if something ever goes wrong? And I'm not capable to help myself? I will be a dead woman." She says still with clear irritation written in her voice, making Caben to grow worried that he might of pushed her wrong buttons.

"Maybe he trusts himself enough?" Caben says almost unsure himself of Mando's reasoning.

"Or he doesn't care if I die." She says dramatically.

"I-I'm sure he doesn't think like that." Caben says nervously stuttering, shocked from the girls comment.

"How are you so sure?" She asks, almost in a snapping matter, which made Caben grow worried once more.

"When you went on the walk after lunch, he got worried, until that muscle-woman informed him where you were."

"How did you know I—you know what? Nevermind." The girl tells the man beside her, almost not surprised he's been watching her every move. She had figured the guy liked her since the start, but she didn't want to assume.

"Speak of the devil." She suddenly says once watching the two retreat from the forest together, and make their way over to her.

"How'd it go?" She asks forgetting her conversation with the man, and focusing her attention on the two.
