Emerging from her hut with fresh clothes on, Logan quickly brushed her hair back with her fingers and tied it into a ponytail. It was a new day, technically it was late into a new day, but Logan cut herself some slack, knowing she had overworked herself the night before.

In the distance, she could see Omera and The Mandalorian talking to one another. What frightened her was a gunshot in the distance and several people crying out. Logan didn't hesitate to follow after The Mandalorian as he ran towards the tree line, in the direction of the gunshot.

Once she finally caught up to him, she caught the last bit of what Cara was saying.

'They'll keep coming...'

'Yes,' he replied before dropping an object onto a nearby rock and stepping on it, smashing it completely.

They both looked at Logan who approached them, her eyes on the scorched body on the floor.

'What is that?' She asked and kicked it with her foot. 'Dank farrik, is that a person?' She cried out in shock, leaning down closer to get a better look at the being behind the mask. It smelt so bad, it made her almost want to hurl behind a rock.

'It was. It was also a Bounty Hunter, it's after The Child,' Cara explained as they all began to walk back the way they had all come from. 'If he doesn't get out of here with him, they'll just keep coming, bringing more danger to your town.'

'Leave? I am yet to inspect The Child for Force sensitivity,' she said and looked up at The Mandalorian. 'I, myself, am curious as well to see if I can help figure out his powers. I truly believe I can help.'

'I'm sorry, but I have to go,' he said and continued to walk away quickly, but Cara took two steps and stopped him by grabbing his arm tightly.

'What if she goes with you? Think of it as having a full-time babysitter,' Cara said with a shrug, causing Logan to look at her with wide eyes for suggesting such a thing. They widened even more when The Mandalorian didn't argue that it was a bad idea.

'When I said I am in your debt, I did not mean I will leave behind everything I've ever known,' she said in a rush, moving towards The Mandalorian so quickly, that he took a couple of steps backward in fright.

'You would come back once The Child is reunited with its kind,' he told her, watching as she relaxed a little, seemingly considering his offer. 'If you want to help, you can't stay here. Besides, it would give you a chance to put a pause on your wedding.'

Logan sighed a little in thought.

He provided her with an opportunity to travel and see the galaxy, something she had always wanted to do, as well as find more people like her, but it also meant she left behind her home, her family, and as much as she dislikes Ello, he was a familiar face for her, something which provided comfort. Logan was completely indecisive about what to do.

However, if it meant she was going to help find other Force-sensitive people, then she guessed she had no choice but to follow along with him.

'Okay. I'll come with you,' she said, and if she didn't know any better, she would have assumed The Mandalorian chuckled as he nodded his head.

When Logan broke the news to her mother that she would be leaving with The Mandalorian, her mother whacked her over the head with the wicker cane in her hand and just about called her every derogatory name in the Corellian language.

'Ow!' Logan said and grabbed the side of her head in pain. 'Mama, I'm a grown woman- Ow! Will you stop doing that... Ow!' She said as her mother continued to hit her over her head with the cane.
