hey.

[ he doesn't even realize how he'd left the last message and how long it had been since he'd reached out to her. ]

i'm alive. i'm okay. ish.

[realists]

[ cue jyn swearing loudly in the middle of the apartment. ]

WHAT THE FUCK MAN

[heliophilous]

yeah, i know. i'm sorry.

[ he would have done things differently if he could. ]

i've been either unconscious or asleep for a few days. sorry i didn't reach out sooner.

[realists]

Don't apologize for being kidnapped and unconscious.

Are you safe?

[heliophilous]

i think so, yeah.

we're somewhere not many people would think to look.

[realists]

You can come back here.

[heliophilous]

i don't wanna put you in any danger.

and i can't leave her.

[realists]

Bring Caroline.

[ YOU DUMBASS. ]

[heliophilous]

shouldn't you check with the people you live with before offering that?

[realists]

I asked.

[ l i a r ]

Stay a few days to regroup. Then you can leave in the middle of the night in some misguided attempt to protect me.

[heliophilous]

you sure about this? there's...

[ he hates this whole situation. ]

i don't want to cause any trouble.

[realists]

I will tell the doorman that someone is stalking Caroline, he'll make sure no one knows you are here.

[heliophilous]

all right all right. i'll ask if she's okay with that.

[ he's pretty sure she'd want to get out of here as much as he did. it was a good place to lay low but not a permanent thing. ]

i have to figure out what to do anyway. can't go back to the safehouse anytime soon.

[realists]

El probably knows some place to hole up.

[ everyone is mad at el but jyn doesn't give a shit, he didn't betray her. ]

[heliophilous]

i'll figure it out.

[ he sighs and rubs at his head, the ever present headache still there. ]

it's been a long few days.

[realists]

What happened?

[ she couldn't ask when he was unconscious, but she can ask now! ]

[heliophilous]

i messed up.

[ to say the least. ]

[realists]

Illuminating.

I mean it, Marcos. What happened?

[heliophilous]

we caught two men looting a store after the bomb went off. and we...didn't just call the cops or anything. we hurt them.

[ he doesn't really wanna say torture. ]

and they were apparently he wrong people to do that too. friends in high places. they took us and they hurt us back. really badly. but it was my fault. i encouraged it.

[realists]

[ rolls her eyes to jupiter at marcos taking the blame for caroline like she's not a capable human being in her own right. ok, sure. she really strikes jyn as someone who can be peer pressured into violence. ]

Not the smartest decision. Could have been worse.

Try to be less dumb next time.

[ what... a supportive friend. ]

[heliophilous]

thanks.

[ you're so comforting, jyn. ]

thought i was gonna die. it was pretty bad.

[realists]

[ is she wrong though? ]

Yeah. I get that.

It's over, you're okay.

[heliophilous]

i guess.

[ he could still feel it sometimes, though. the water, mostly, being poured over his face and into his mouth and nose and eyes. he hadn't really been able to sleep on his back since then. ]

i'm okay.

[realists]

It gets easier, I promise.

[heliophilous]

personal experience?
