Bodhi makes his way to the library after a few more nights of not sleeping and not coping. Only now he’s not alone. Myrrh the forge cat has adopted Bodhi and has taken to riding around on his shoulder.

Bodhi’s currently curled up on the library floor, almost catatonic. A datapad with The History of the Rebellion open on it has fallen from his hand.

Myrrh is perched on the human’s knee, hissing at anyone who gets too near.

{ooc: the probably of Rogue One spoilers in this thread is high. Very high. Tags are open to all and as always, if you’re worried about spoilers or anything, PM me first and we’ll plan something out.}

"Hey," Andrew says, gently anxious, putting out a hand toward his shoulder, ready to draw back in an instant if he pulls away. "Are you okay?"

Andrew pulls his hand back quickly at the first sign of the suppressed flinch, resting it on the nearby bookcase instead to steady himself.

"Hey, no," he says at once, "it's okay, you don't ..."

A pause, and a closer look. And a longer pause.

Lower: "Do you need help?"

He bites his lip.

"... do you want to talk about it?"
stilljustandrew: (woe!)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2017-02-02 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh." Very soft. "I'm so sorry."

A beat.

"How did it happen?"
stilljustandrew: (woe!)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2017-02-03 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Even softer: "Oh."

His knees are starting to protest the crouching position; he shifts to sit down cross-legged on the floor, instead.

"That's rough. I've been there."
stilljustandrew: (pensive)

He nods, soberly. "Couple times. Lost friends in some of them, too. It's ... kind of always terrible."
stilljustandrew: (pensive)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2017-02-05 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," he murmurs.

And hesitates.

"... Did you make it out? Or ...?"
stilljustandrew: (dark looking down)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2017-02-05 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Andrew bites his lip. "I'm so sorry."

His glance goes, briefly, to the datapad on the floor.

Careful now, careful --

"What you did?"
stilljustandrew: (dropjaw)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2017-02-05 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"The planet killer --?"

He lets his eyes widen, his mouth drop open, as they wanted to when he first thought he recognized the man.

"You and your friends -- you were Rogue One?"

"I, I've heard stories --" He rakes a handful of hair away from his forehead, meets Bodhi's eyes. "I've met people from your world here. Years ago, but they were from your future -- it's a thing, time gets really weird here sometimes. I knew Princess Leia. Leia Organa?"
stilljustandrew: (serious 3)

He swallows. "Yeah. But -- she did get the plans to the Rebellion. And they used them, they -- they told their fighters where the weak point was and sent them in. And it worked. They destroyed the Death Star before it could be used against any more planets."
stilljustandrew: (serious 3)

[personal profile] stilljustandrew 2017-02-06 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
A beat.

"And yours," he says, low but deeply earnest.

(Because it hurt so much, to know that none of them ever knew --)

"They -- the Rebellion named an elite fighter squadron for you. You and your team. Rogue Squadron. They were the best."
