The Mandalorian hovers above what he deduces is The Seeing Stone.

"Can't land here...looks like we'll have to ride with the top down..." He says to Grogu, who looks up curiously.

The Razor Crest lands quite a bit away, and Din gets up to go grab his jetpack. Grogu's eyes follow him, then eventually, he gets up to follow his father figure, his little ball gripped tightly in his hand.

"Here we are..." Din finally finds it, showing it off to Grogu. "You remember this, right? Wanna go for a ride?"

The Child tilts his head, then reaches up for it. Din lowers it for Grogu to inspect. Patting it, Grogu accepts the ride, and Din prepares himself for flight.

"I know you don't want to, but there's gotta be someone out there that wants to help you. I would if I could, but I don't know anything about this Jedi stuff. I'm the last person you want help from..." Din finds himself sitting down cross-legged, talking to Grogu, who is eyeing him while chewing his ball. Din sighs. "How many times am I gonna have to say goodbye to you, huh? You little womp rat..." He playfully boops the little green nose, and Grogu giggles.

Grogu carefully puts his ball down, and walks over to him, placing his hands on either side of Din's helmet. They stare at each other for a second, and Din almost takes the jet pack off and screws it all, so he can find a place for them.

But he is a Mandalorian. That is not the kind of life for Grogu. He was still a kid, and was going to be for a very long time, it seems.

This is the way...

This is the way...

This is...

"Ok..." He sighs again. "Come on, then..."

Grogu squeels with delight as the Mandalorian jumps into the air, and they soar higher and higher. The wind beats against his big eyes, so he squints him just a bit because he wants to see everything. It was exhilarating, so much fun!

As soon as it started, it ended, and they landed at the Seeing Stone.

"Here we are...the Seeing Stone." Din looks around. "Are you...seeing anything?" He walks up to the rock and places Grogu. "Ahsoka said you'd do the rest, so...start, calling them, I guess? I don't know..." Din is kicking himself for having such a bad attitude. He has become more and more reluctant as time has gone on, and he takes a good look at Grogu, who is playing with a butterfly. He cannot help but quietly chuckle to himself. "Come on, kid..."

Why do you have to make this more difficult?

Din heard a ship, then saw a ship land not too far from them, and was getting nervous.

"You gotta hurry...we got company, I-" Din's jaw dropped as he saw Grogu surrounded by this, energy source that was moving and shifting. Grogu's eyes were sealed shut and Din could feel the power. As he tried to approach the rock, the force field resisted against him. "Come on, kid!" Thrown back, Din bolted right back up and tried again, this time hitting his head flat on the ground.

Groaning, he got up and noticed company was coming.

Not good...

Din waited a second for Grogu to finish, but he was not.

"I'll protect you! I promise!" Din did not want to leave, but he had to protect the kid from this mysterious threat.

Grogu did was he was meant to do, and slumped down, exhausted. He tried to cry out to Din, but he was too far away...
