Meaning of 落着き先?


I'm a newish Japanese learner. I've been reading and translating short
Japanese comics and videos to help familiarize myself with new kanji and word-
play and whatnot. However, I've been stuck for a few days trying to decipher
the meaning of this specific sentence:

> お前の落着き先も
>
> 早く見つけてやらないとな

I can't quite figure out the meaning of 落着き先 here. I understand the second
part is along the lines of "I have to see/find [it] soon." But the first part
is what's confusing me the most.

I know the separate meanings of 落着き (落ち着き) and 先, but together I just can't
understand it. I've tried searching multiple sites, reading multiple Japanese
blogs/pages that use this word, and yet I just can't seem to make heads or
tails of it.

For context, both lines are spoken by the same character. He says this to
himself regarding a child he's taking care of. While both lines are separate
textboxes, it's pretty obvious they connect.

Thank you in advance to anybody who reads this, it means a lot to me.




If you look up 落ち着き in a dictionary you can find definitions like "aplomb",
"calm", "peacefulness" or "cool", but this is not how 落ち着き is used here. Here
落ち着き is simply the masu-stem of the verb 落ち着く, which can mean "to settle
(down)" or "to finally end up".

  * いろいろな議論があったが、リーダーは彼に落ち着いた。  
There was a lot of discussion, but it was settled that he was the leader.

  * たくさん引っ越しをして、今は横浜に落ち着いています。  
I moved many times, and now I have settled in Yokohama.

  * そろそろ落ち着いて[身を固め](https://jisho.org/search/%E8%BA%AB%E3%82%92%E5%9B%BA%E3%82%81%E3%82%8B)なさいよ。  
It's time for you to settle down and {marry someone / get a steady job}.

先 here is a suffix that refers to a (remote) place to which the preceding
action is related. Look up 旅先, 連絡先 or 行き先. See: [Why is 先 needed in
アルバイト先で?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/25239/5010)

Therefore, this 落ち着き先 means "the place you settle in". The type of "place"
depends on the context, but probably he is looking for the listener's next
habitat and/or job.
