Din picked up The Child and placed it in the carrier sack and walked off his ship. He didn't mind another opportunity to use the jetpack the Armorer had given him.
The Child made happy noises as the jetted through the sky toward the city. The engine sputtered a little as Din approached the ground and he landed in front of the pub, drawing eyes and attention from a few of the civilians, but nothing alarming as they were used to the Mandalorian presence in Navaro.
Still, Din was unsure why so many of them would've chosen to reveal themselves and abandon their Creed. The Child looked up at Din as they landed and he gave an excited little grin.
She was in there, she had to be. If Greef was there, Cara would be as well. The door opened and he scanned the pup thoughtfully, sure enough. There she was. Drinking spotchka with Greef.
Cara's eyes drifted from her conversation with Greef to look at the person who walked in. Her heart skipped a beat momentarily when she saw him walk through those doors, toting a little green baby in a sack strapped to his chest. The Child's ears wiggled and its dark eyes lit up when it spotted Cara, it let out a happy noise.
Cara couldn't help but smile and shake her dark head.
"Mando! Back so soon?" Greef chimed, with a hearty chuckle. He stood as Din approached the pair, smiling ear to ear.
Din walked to them and stood in front of the booth. "We need to talk." He looked in Cara's direction, not even acknowledging Greef's welcome.
She raised a dark eyebrow and shot Din a look. "Oh?" She smirked. "Am I in trouble now?" She wondered what he could possibly want to talk about. She didn't show it, but she was pretty nervous. She was internalizing his words, his tonality. Why did he say it that way.
Din didn't reply. He kept his gaze on her and never broke it.
She rose from her seat. "I'll be right back, Greef." Cara instructed before accompanying the Mandalorian and his child outside the pup. They stopped, and there was a silence that fell between them.
Cara shrugged her shoulders and looked at him with an expression that was slightly annoyed and slightly inquisitive. "Well? Whats going on?" She folded her arms over her chest and waited for his response. Her arms didn't stay that way for long though, as The Child stared at her with those big, dark eyes she couldn't help but reach out and stroke its ears and head.
Din cleared his throat, suddenly he had realized he never thought about what he was going to say to her before he reached her. All he knew was that he wanted her with him and that was that, and before he knew it he was standing in front of her.
"I. He started before he cleared his throat again. "I never had a chance to properly thank you." He paused and watched as her expression toward him softened. "If it weren't for you, I.."
"Nah, you would've been fine." She waved her hand.
"No, and you know it. Thank you, Cara."
She paused, reflecting on the weight of his words, and the way it sounded when he called her by name. She could feel his gaze locked onto her and she gave him a small, but warm smile.
"You're welcome. I'd do it again in a heartbeat." She added.
"Why are you staying here?" He asked, she had told him before, but he just couldn't wrap his mind around it. She had wanted to retire, working for Greef wasn't going to be anywhere near retirement.
"I dunno." She shrugged. "Change of pace, change of scenery." She looked around, things still looked to be in a state of disarray.
"You could come with me." He offered, finally after finally mustering up the courage to do so. She opened her mouth to respond but he continued. "I want you to."
Cara closed her mouth and looked at him, unsure of what to think or say or do. Of course she wanted to travel with him. They worked well together, they shared a bond, and of course she would miss The Child if she were never to see it again.
"I don't know." She said, quietly."
"Why?" He frowned beneath his helmet. Din had spent a lot of time on his own, but he always found himself longing for someone he could rely on, someone to have his back when he needed it, and someone he would gladly do the same thing for. That was Cara, and he knew it without a doubt.
Cara knew she couldn't tell him the real reason behind her hesitation, but still, she didn't want to miss the opportunity to spend more time with him, and have his back She sighed and smiled, shaking her head before patting his shoulder. "Okay then, what trouble can we get ourselves into now?"
She couldn't see it, but Din was grinning beneath his helmet. Probably the biggest he'd smiled in a while. "I'm sure we'll think of something." He responded.
