TODAY WAS the day Natalia declared she'd never babysit again

TODAY WAS the day Natalia declared she'd never babysit again. She usually loved children. Her nephew means the world to her and Shara's little Poe is just the cutest thing, but watching a small child as well as about fifteen other children was not what Natalia expected when she woke up this morning. 

She had been tasked with the job of watching the kid while the Mandalorian and Cara went to scope out the area to get a feel for what they'd be fighting. Which of course made Natalia angry. Her bones ached for adventure and with the war over and Han occupied with his own son, It's been awhile since Natalia has had any real fun.

Sure Natalia adored the child, but being in charge of watching it from sunrise to sunset was not what she was expecting when the Mandalorian told her she was watching it. So she made sure to have her anger shown as she stood in the crowd of villagers, holding the child in her arms as she glared at him.

"Bad news. You can't live here anymore." The Mandalorian declared, sending a break out of questions and protests in the crowd.

"I know this is not the news you wanted to hear, but there are no other options." Cara tried to soften the blow but it did nothing but spike even more conflict in the crowd.

Natalia stared at the Mandalorian with a stern gaze, demanding an answer as to what was going on. They did not come here promising to help these people just to leave them stranded on their own planet. Her mother wouldn't want that.

"You took the job." One man accused.

"Yeah!" Another argued.

"That was before we knew about the AT-ST." Cara tried to explain.

Natalia's eyes widened slightly. Sorgan was never a sight of war on either ends so how an AT-ST ended up all the way out here sent confusion spiking through Natalia. Those things had taken out many of the Rebellion's men throughout the time of war but they weren't indestructible. If they could take out one of the legs they could defeat the thing all together.

"What's that?" One man asked.

"An armored walker with two enormous guns." Natalia spoke, joining Cara and the Mandalorian at the front of the crowd.

Accusations burst out into the crowd about them signing up to help and promising. Natalia knew these people were not going to give up their village but she also knew what and AT-ST was capable of and these people couldn't handle it. She doubted any of these people even knew how to shoot a blaster.

"Please. We have nowhere to go." The woman who set up the barn for Natalia and the Mandalorian pleaded.

"Sure you do. This is a big planet. I mean, I've seen a lot smaller." Cara said.

"My grandparents seeded these ponds. It took generations." A man argued.

"Yeah!" Another argued.
