"Thank you." Cara and Celeste both say in sync once Omara hands the two woman their freshly brewed Spotchka.
"Can I set you something in the house?" Omara asks the Mandalorian, who was watching the children play from afar.
"Uh, thank you. Maybe later." Mando says almost taken off guard from Omara's question. The woman then nods in understanding before looking over towards his general eye direction, which was focused on the little one still
"He's very happy here." Omara states with a smile.
"He is." Mando agrees, before going into a deep train of thought.
"Fits right in." Omara says before walking over to the children with a smile, which made Celeste's heart pull slightly. They had been at the village for a full week, and she was starting to feel comfortable with everything and everyone. She might even say she started to accept the idea of Mando and Omara being together.
"So what happens if you take that thing off? They come after and kill you?" Cars asks before taking her sip of the freshly brewed drink that Omara just gifted her.
"No. You just can't ever put it back on again."
"That's it? So you can slip off that helmet, and settle down with that beautiful young widow, and raise your kid sitting here, sipping spotchka?" Cara asks causing Mando to just stare at the woman in annoyance, which Celeste found slightly amusing. She kind of giggles along, just to cover the sound of her heartbreak. She knew that Omara brought the best out of him, the part that no one really saw, which his sentimental side.
As much as she wished it was her, she knew she'd be fine with watching the man fall in love with a woman like her...
"You know, we raised some hell a few weeks back. It's too much action for a backwater town like this. Word travels fast, we might want to cycle the charts, and move on." Mando informs the woman, hinting that he was better off somewhere else but here.
"Would not want to be the one who's gotta tell him." Cara states, while sipping on her drink while the three watch the little one play along with the children.
"I'm leaving him here." Mando states, making both woman turn towards the man in shock. Mostly Celeste, because the little child did grown on her, almost as if he was one of her own.
"Traveling with me. That's no life for a kid. I did my job. He's safe. Better chance at a life." Mando states, explaining his reasoning.
"It's gonna break his little heart." Celeste says causing Mando to eye her slightly, before looking back at the little one from a far.
"He'll get over it. We all do." Mando states causing Celeste to nod to herself, agreeing with her boss. She knew he was right, because she got over her parents leaving her. Whatever the reason it was, she knew they wanted her to have a better life, and that Celeste was content with. Although, she had hoped that the little one would hopefully grow to understand that too...

Later in the day, Celeste found herself taking a nature walk by herself one again. There was just something about being by herself, surrounded by the tall trees, and along with the cool breeze. It was calming to her, especially since she had never seen much green in her life. She knew they'd leave this place soon, and it saddened her a bit. But she also knew their was so much more in this whole galaxy to explore...
As she bend down to admire a flower, she heard a slight beeping noise, along with footsteps. She slowly looked around her, and eyes a man with a large weapon near by. It seemed as if he were looking for something, and her instinct immediately kicked in. So she secretly followed him, and watched him slowly pull out his large weapon.
As he stopped in his tracks, she slowed down, and hid behind a trees. Once he finished scooping out the whole area around him, she watches as the man tense, and ready his weapon. She then pulls her blaster from her side, and aims it closely enough to where he'd immediately drop to his death. She then quickly shoots the man from behind, before he could do anything horrifying.
Just as her weapon goes off, this caused the villagers to scream, and run with their children into safety. She then managed to catch a glimpse of Mando and Cara come running towards where the shot went off.
As they all meet eyes with Celeste, who was standing beside the body, she was putting her weapon away. Immediately Mando walks over and investigates. As he picks up the beeping tracker that alerted her earlier, he almost lets out a sigh of defeat.
"Who's he tracking?" Cara asks Mando.
"The kid."
"They know he's here." Cara comments causing Mando to nod underneath that helmet if his.
"Yes." He says almost in defeat.
"Then they'll keep coming." Celeste tells her boss who nods again, before suddenly dropping the tracker, and smashing it with his boot.

Mando did not want to waste anymore time, and packed up their things almost immediately. He didn't want to have the possibility of putting the villagers in any sort of danger. As they were placing their belongings into the droid wagon, all of the villagers started to surround to say their goodbyes.
Once Celeste put the last weapon box on the wagon, all of the kids suddenly swarmed towards Celeste. As they all hugged her together, she had teared up due to the sight.
"We're gonna miss you." The kids say almost whining at the fact she'd be leaving, causing her to sadly smile.
"I'm going to miss you guys too." Celeste tells the children while trying to hug all of them in once.
"Till our paths cross" Mando says to Cara who both shook one another's hands, catching Celeste eyes. As the woman turns around to say goodbye to his apprentice, she notices Celeste was still swarmed from hugs from the children, which made her laugh.
"I hope we meet again, I'll defiantly miss our girl talks." Celeste tells her, allowing the children to let go, and say their goodbyes to the little one in the wagon.
"And I hope you take my advice." She says before pulling the girl into a tight hug. Celeste was sure of it that Cara could kill her with her bare hands, because that was just how strong she was.
"Stay safe." Celeste says causing the woman to nod before walking off, leaving Celeste to get on the wagon beside the kid, while Mando finished talking with Omara.
Once they finally were all on the wagon, they both watched in sadness as they were pulled away from the villagers.
"I'm going to miss them."
"Me too."
