[ he sighs and rubs his face. he's talked about it but only in factual terms. what happened, how he got out, what he did after. he hasn't really talked about what that did to him. ]
[ she's only told one whole person that she is dead and he is standing right in front of her, jyn isn't exactly loquacious. she doesn't want to make cassian think about it and she doesn't want daisy to know.
[ not about that. it's an unnecessary burden that he needs to shoulder on his own. no one else needs to be bothered. no one else needs to take that on. he sighs and rubs at his face again before straightening up. ]
[ it's mean to point out, but it's true and jyn isn't one to shy away from alienating her friends in order to help them. that is her entire m.o. this is why she only has two friends. ]
Look, you don't have to talk about it. You don't have to do anything. But it'll get easier faster if you do. And it doesn't have to be me, you've got Caroline and you can talk to Cassian.
[ she shrugs, but that'll be the last of her pressing. ]
[ he shoots a glare in her direction but there's no real anger behind it. he's more tired than anything. and he knows he can get a handle on this if he just...focuses. or something. he just has to expose himself to water and get it over with. ]
I don't know Cassian that well and Caroline — [ he cuts himself off at that and shakes his head. ] She made sure I didn't die at the expense of herself. I owe her more than she owes me anything, even an ear to listen.
[ if cassian said that to jyn she would slap him. no one gets to decide which burdens she takes on and it wouldn't be a burden. it's not about owing anything. jyn had gotten texts from both of them while in captivity and they were both thinking of the other person above themselves. ]
Take another five minutes, I'll get the box for you.
[ and turn off the water! despite the bickering, jyn gives marcos' shoulder a comforting squeeze before she slips out the door and grabs the box to move it where it's supposed to go, and turn off the kriffin' faucet while she is at it.
everyone wasting water, for force sake, they need a memo. ]

Don't decide for Caroline.

[ he sounds firmer, at least, more assured and put together than he had been the previous few moments. ]
It's my choice. I don't want her to have to deal with me.
no subject
Alright. Do whatever you think is right.
[ even if he's wrong. ]
no subject
Thanks.
[ he sighs and rubs at his face. ]
I should...go back to work.
