"Hmmm, I don't think you do. Maybe I'll take it back..." He pretends to pull it away in a playful manner, only giving it back when the little one gives an indignant chirp and reaches for it again. "...Nah. You can hold onto it."

He picks his son up and takes him back to the area Din has reserved for sleeping in his ship. It's a small bunk, and frankly, the small area he's set aside for the little one to sleep in is larger for his small size, but he doesn't want him to get cold tonight. He does seem to be based off a vaguely reptilian species after all.

Din checks the ship one last time, making sure the life support systems and that the weapons are all working properly. He’s going to make sure he’s not caught with his pants down if they get attacked in the middle of the night.

After that is done, he goes to lie down with his son, taking off most of the armor to exchange it for warm clothes. He gets into the bed and looks down at the little alien that he’s come to view as his own family and his heart swells with tenderness. He runs a hand over the big ears one more time and whispers: “I love you. Good night.” Then the lights are turned out and he falls asleep quickly hearing the heartbeat of his son and knowing the little form is safe next to him.
