And so, taking off to space, to the new adventures and whatever awaited them out there had not been difficult at all.īut after leaving Mandalore, they had travelled the wide galaxy, doing a little bit of bounty hunting to get the credits they needed for their survival. Home was there were every they laid their helmets as the adage goes. It really wasn’t the place where they would be staying rather the fact that they were doing things together. But they were together and that was all that mattered anyway in the end for the father and son duo. As there really was no plan as to where to go from there. So, in the end, they had packed up their trash and taken off to a destination unknown. But none of it had persuaded father nor son of the necessity of staying on Mandalore. A high ranking position, possessions, a home for him and his son, all kinds of bribes as it were. Far from it as Bo-Katan had tried to offer Din plenty of things for his services. So, after trying, well, kind of, their very best of fitting into the current order on the planet, it had not taken too long when both of them had felt the need to leave. As he and Grogu had their own way now and it was nothing really what the current regime of Mandalore was offering in turn to the dynamic duo. But after a while of staying there and trying to figure out the various fractions and the politics of theirs as well, Din had decided it was not for him or his son at all. It was the simple why for her to have been inviting Din Djarin to Mandalore in the first place, right after her regaining the power she once had possessed. However, reunifying their people, all those who followed the way of the Mandalore, had turned out somewhat of a more complex and political task for her than anything else.
Not a small feat for sure and still an ongoing process. Which they had succeeded in doing well so too and the former occupation was now officially over and the planet was being restored to its former glory, cleaned up, reformed and all that which needed to be done to get the place up and running. No it was mostly those who had followed their fearless leader Bo-Katan Kryze there in a hostile take over. Or rather those part of his original creed, the Children of the Watch as it were, were basically non existent on the planet just as he had found out upon arrival. Nothing was really resolved on the planet Mandalore and Din had found himself more of an outsider than being of the feeling of belonging to those who were that of his creed. But, as so many qualms and quarrels, it was mostly a matter of point of view and in the end. Still, it had been by request of his former associates to join in the battle as it were and so he and Grogu had gone there first after leaving Master Luke. Or rather, that had been the push for him he had needed to leave the somewhat uncomfortable situation with Master Luke on the planet of the Jedi Academy. Then there were the conflicts on Mandalore, which had been the initial reason for Din taking off in the first place. Usually it was about an individual or an other in trouble and even making a few bounty hunting trips to gain some currency for their living.
The duo had made their way in the galaxy helping others here and there, the causes sometimes just, but more often times not. It had been a few years since the Mandalorian former bounty hunter, Din Djarin and his sidekick, the force sensitive youngling and Din’s adopted son, Grogu had set sail to space and leaving the Jedi Academy behind. Alright Kid, buckle up! We are ready for take off.”
Not with words of course, but the thought he sent to Din, was pretty clear.ĭin snorted and simply replied: “That one never gets old, does it. “Wherever you go, I go.” Grogu then threw back at his father. Even if Grogu sometimes acted like he really did not understand, Din knew he understood plenty. Which was most likely what Grogu had been counting on. Well, it was a pretty done deal that Din would not be able to say no to him. Besides, leaving him behind the way things now were with Luke? Add to that the absolutely adorable look of the Kid in his miniature beskar armour. And to be quite honest with himself, Din had not been looking forward to the time where Grogu was not part of his daily life. But most likely nothing Din could have said would have swayed the stubborn youngling of his decision. Din had “tried” to be sincere and to convince the Kid to rethink his decision to leave the Academy.
