"I think we've driven the last of the Empire away from here, but if they do ever come back, you know how to contact us?" There was no possible way that you could thank Cal enough for coming and ridding your small village from the Imperial pest that had control of the area for so long. It didn't take him too long either, he was only there for a few weeks doing what resistance fighters had tried and failed to do for months. "By the way, thanks for letting me stay with you... It was nice to have somewhere to sleep that wasn't on a cramped ship. It made a nice change getting away from that place for a bit that had a proper bed for me to sleep in."

"Don't worry, when you come back you can stay again." Cal smiled and again expressed how thankful he was for your hospitality and companionship. "You will be coming back?"

"If we're in the quadrant, I'll make sure Greez take's a detour. I'd love to come and see you again. Normally we get on a planet, do what we have to do and then leave but I think I'm really going to miss you y/n." A feint shout from the distant Mantis caught Cal's attention. "I'll be there in a minute, just hold on."

"I'll miss you too. I just wanted to say, you aren't just someone that came and freed my people. To the rest of the village you are a hero that will have their story told for generations, but to me, you're my friend, and a good friend at that."

"I wish you could stay for longer, there's other villages around here that need help too, you could just keep staying with me, they aren't too far out, we could get you a speeder and you'd be there in no time."

"The thought would be a dream, but we took out the Empire's communications tower and stopped their slave mining operation. Now that's toppled they should leave your planet over the course of the next few weeks and set up shop on some other poor place." Cal looked over at the Mantis, it's wings had set into take-off and it would not be long until the engine was ready to hurtle him away from you.

"Just don't forget me, I'll keep a look out for your ship every so often."

"There's no way I could forget you, I'll make sure we have somewhere close to help, just keep that spare bed free for me."
