[the fireworks can stop, literally any time now. once in a while it still catches him off guard and he'll jump, especially if he's not back home by the time they start. today is one of those days where they go off when he's a few blocks from the communal housing. this time, however, his brusque walk home is accompanied by an animal.]
[it may be his own fault, because he tossed it some of his food. it gets spooked by the fireworks and hides between his legs, and when cassian starts walking home, the feline starts to follow him.]
[it follows him all the way the home, making little mewing noises while cassian steadfastly ignores it. it follows him into the elevator and paces at his feet the entire ride up. as he walks down the hall towards his room, cassian realizes the ignoring method probably isn't going to work.]
[when jyn comes home, cassian's cooking up some dinner, and the cat is still there. now it's just sitting near the cabinet, occasionally mewling up and headbutting at his ankles.]
