Summary
“Is it better to let it die?” Din had said after several long minutes amidst the hum of traffic. Skywalker had snapped his head over his shoulder to look at him, mouth open slightly in surprise as his head tilted in silent question. Din met his gaze through the T-visor, though there was no way for Luke to reliably return the gesture. The Jedi always managed it anyway. “Do you feel it’s more important to carry on the tradition, even incomplete than let it die completely? Dar’johay’cuy?”
--
When Luke has to leave the Jedi Acadamy to try and locate an ancient Jedi Temple with some old friends, Din finds himself taking care of three Force-Sensitive children back on Mandalore. -

Most of the time, the night made more sense to Izzy. It was calmer, straightforward, the stars on full display as a clear way to orient oneself.
Other times, the night was interrupted by Stede Bonnet.

“You’ve got to be joking,” Izzy said. Three of Bonnet’s men were circling around him with weapons trained; Black Pete had taken his sword up with gusto and that Swede fellow had gotten his hands on a spear and was having great fun jabbing it at Izzy’s backside. The taffrail door had been open and one of the gangplanks strapped down so it hung over the edge of the ship, over open water instead of the deck of a raided ship. Izzy stood at the base of it, forearms lashed together at his back.
“Don’t let my generally affable nature deter you Izzy, I am most certainly not,” Bonnet said.

“Sleep. I watch,” he warbles from his post at the door. The first thing he’s said to me in hours. We haven’t talked about anything yet, aside from his pushing to prove I wasn’t hiding more contraband. I scowl at him.
“Don’t want to.” I feel like one of my kids with the level of petulance that seeps into my voice. I miss my kids. I miss having a place. I have a place here, I need to accept it’s just… Different. Still, I’m not gonna listen to Rocky right now.
Rocky grumbles at me. “Scientists say Grace hasn’t slept in 32.6 hours.” Jeez, has it really been that long? I don’t think I’ve had an all-nighter that bad since college. “Cognitive impairment begins after only 24. Bad decisions, dangerous thoughts like you mention. Why you are sick.”
“You left me.” I didn’t mean to say that. Too late.
or Grace is having a hard time adjusting to life on Erid, and it only gets worse when Rocky disappears. They work it out.

Summary
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Petulantly, Rocky says, “Grace sound stupid. Like child.”
