Where: Kay's apartment
When: Afternoon-ish?
What: R1 Team bonding shenanigans
Warnings: N/A

[It's about time they had a little group talk. Kay hasn't seen Bodhi for a while and Cassian as been in the city for a few days as well. it made the droid anxious not to know of his team-mates hereabouts, lest they were getting themselves in trouble or almost killed. Kay's kitten, Fest, meowed at him loudly when he pulled the tray of snacks away from her.]

Those are not for cats. [The cat only meowed more pitiful and Kay gave in, tossing her a small piece of cheese.]

Comments

[bodhi_rook]

[Bodhi had been keeping to himself, nervous about company but especially K-2SO as it was a reminder of the most recent events before their arrival here. While he knew he'd done the right thing, it hadn't really gone well for any of them personally and here, with a second chance to live their lives, it was easier sometimes to avoid thinking about it all. But now Cassian was also here and Bodhi knew he should stop hiding and start dealing with what had happened. He'd moved in to a room near to Kay and now he headed to door number 404, hesitating briefly before giving it a short knock.]

[k2so]

[Kay wouldn't blame him. He might not know the pilot for long but he could tell that the man needed time to adapt and the droid tried to give him space. However, Kay has missed the company and relief that came with having friends from home near you and it was about time they all finally talked. When he opened the door Fest was near his feet, meowing up at the stranger as if to ask who the new person was.]

Bodhi Rook, you are the first one to arrive. Make yourself at home, please don't step on the cat.

[captain_by_the_book]

Cassian makes it onto the floor just in time to hear Kay invite Bodhi inside. He hurries up to reach them before the door is closed again, greeting them with an awkward little almost-smile. It's a friendly face, anyway.]

You might want to watch out for the cat, actually, it doesn't like strangers, and it has sharp claws for something so small. [He sizes Bodhi up, automatically looking for signs of stress or ill health that could have made him keep to himself. Because he needs his team functional, not because he's concerned how he is coping with dying and coming back, of course.]

[bodhi_rook]

Oh, uh, I'll try not to.

[He skirts carefully around the cat as he steps inside, his head turning anxiously as another figure comes in with him. He's relieved to see that its Cassian.]

Hey, good to see you again. I'll try to keep out of its way.

[All these warnings about the cat... Bodhi looks fine apart from being obviously nervous and on edge.]

[k2so]

Thanks. And Cassian is exaggerating, she's perfectly behaved with those who don't try to sneak into the house unnoticed.

[Kay gives the Captain a head tilt but holds the door open for him. Fest, either to spite Cassian or to prove Kay's point, rubs herself against Bodhi's pant leg and mewls softly. Ain't she adorable?]

Are you hungry? I got food. And before any of you look worried, I bought it, I didn't make it myself.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian gives the cat a dirty look when she immediately takes to Bodhi. ] Of course she'd like you better... It took me a salmon filet to make her tolerate me.

[ He turns to Kay, eyeing him suspiciously. ] I am hungry, but... Actually, yes. Show us what you got.[ If it's awful, they can at least get it over with. ] Hopefully no white milk, I still can't believe their milk is the wrong color. It looks disgusting.

[bodhi_rook]

[Cautiously, Bodhi leans down and gives Fest a gentle stroking pat, smiling softly.]

She's not so bad...

[He may also have a softer manner that the cat can sense.]

And food sounds good.

[k2so]

[Fest purrs happily and the, opens her eyes a fraction, staring at Cassian in a mocking way. If Kay notices, he doesn't bring it up but he finds it amusing.]

She's not bad at all. But don't giver her more food even if she begs, she has her own.

[Int he livingroom, there's a comfortable looking couch next to some chairs that came with the flat, around a table filled with all sort of food. Kay can't eat himself and he's not sure what exactly Bodhi likes to have, so there's quite the variety: salad, chips, cheese, small pastries, cupcakes, fruit, something that looks like parfait...no one can't say that the droid's not an attentive host.]

The cat likes the white milk well enough but I can't really tell if it tastes differently than the Bantha one.

[captain_by_the_book]

The white milk tastes awful. [ It doesn't, but he is biased and hates the white milk with the fierce passion of a true foodie.

Cassian follows Bodhi into the living room, and gapes at the large selection of food.]

That looks all... edible? [It's aimed at Bodhi, and sounds more surprised than would be strictly polite.] I think we are set for today and tomorrow, too. That's a lot of food.

[bodhi_rook]

[Mostly staying quiet, Bodhi thinks the milk was fine but he wasn't that fussy with food in general. He doesn't speak his thoughts aloud.]

You maybe got a little too much, unless you're expecting more visitors.

[His words are to Kay as he picks up a pastry and tries it.]

[k2so]

Maybe it's supposed to be milk for animals, not humans. [That's as good explanation as any other, he thinks. Then manages to look somewhat offended at Cassian doubtful tone, even though he has not a very expressive face.]

Everything is edible. And no I'm not expecting anyone else but you could take with you some of the food, I won't be eating it. [He get used to having food in the fridge, though, in case Cassian crashes in his place.]

[captain_by_the_book]

Bodhi can take some, if you'd like? [He turns to the pilot, giving him an inquisitive look] I shouldn't, Kay, since I eat at your place all the time already.

[He picks up a cupcake, focusing on Bodhi again.] Speaking of status, what is yours? Do you have an apartment and a job? [He's not quite sure what a pilot would want to do in a place without space ships. They're probably all a little lost.]

[bodhi_rook]

I can, if you don't need it.

[He says about the food before answering to the latter.]

I... Yes. I moved in just two doors down the hall and I got a job in the planetarium.

[He'd indeed felt lost without any option for piloting but he could still at least work with space, in a way.]

[k2so]

You could both also come to eat here from time to time. I'm fine with any option. [And ey, making the meeting a somewhat regular things could be good for the whole team. To both catch up on what the others are doing and to make sure they're okay.]

A planetarium? What do you do there?

[Bodhi might find the cat at his feet now, Fest meowing and tugging at his pant leg for some food.]

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian doesn't smile, not as such, but he comes very close to it. ] I would like to eat together regularly. It would be... good to keep updated on your going-ons. But maybe I should cook next time.

[ He wants to keep an eye on them, he's still responsible for his team, that's all, right? ]

A planetarium job... That's a good choice. [ As close to the stars as you could come, huh, Bodhi? ]

[bodhi_rook]

Yes, it's not bad. I mean, there aren't any ships here. Nothing that flies so...

[He gives a sheepish smile and shrugs.]

I mostly make sure everything keeps working the way it should. Make sure the displays are all running and everything stays in working order. When it's quiet I can watch the presentations for myself. The... star systems they talk about are different but it's good to learn about.

[Then he's distracted.]

Uhm... Your.. cat... I think it wants something.

[k2so]

Perfect then. [Kay can't smile either but his tone of voice if more cheerful after hearing Cassian agree to the meetings.]

Sounds like an entertaining job, I should visit the planetarium one day. I work in a Casino as security but I won't give you more details, Cassian already laughed at me for it.


You think so, Bodhi? How observant. [If Kay had eyebrows, he would be lifting them at the obvious statement. Fest, meanwhile only meowls more pitiful.] Ignore her, she has her own food.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Cassian nods at Bodhi's explanation of his work. ]

That's important work you are doing, then, and the chance to learn new things is always good. Maybe you'll be able to report something useful to us.

The cat is forever hungry, though I know for a fact that Kay has been feeding it... [ His lips twitch. ] And speaking of him, you should get him to show you his work clothes. I did laugh.

[bodhi_rook]

You should visit sometime. It's open for everyone. There's even a gift shop.

[Maybe it wasn't as important as some jobs but so far he'd been finding it a nice change from the stress and danger they'd recently been through. He wasn't a fighter. He'd tried to be brave and do the right thing but doing that all the time would be unnerving. He could respect those who joined the rebellion and made it their duty every day to fight.]

[He tried to ignore the cat's persistence and glanced to Kay.]

They make you wear clothes?

[k2so]

We will visit. [He's curious now and it would be nice to see Bodhi working in a relaxed environment. Kay almost doesn't think such thing is possible. He reaches out and grabs Fest with a hand, cradling her to his chest so she stops being a nuisance.]

Uh...yes but not really. There's a uniform but it's a hologram. They don't make clothes of my since. [Kay's head snaps to the side, looking at Cassian in a way that conveys offence.] That was really rude of you.

[captain_by_the_book]

Of course it's rude. You are rude to me all the time. [ He gives Kay a blank look. No, he's not going to even pretend that he's sorry. ]

And yes, we'll visit the planetarium soon. I'd like to take a look at the star constellations here. [ He lets a heartbeat pass. ] And your workplace, too. It'd be nice if you could show us around. [ This whole being encouraging to people thing is still kind of hard to remember, but he's trying. ]

[bodhi_rook]

Yeah, sure. If you like.

[There's an awkward pause before he takes some more food, glancing at Cassian then Kay and back again.]

[k2so]

Not true. You are sleeping sometimes and other times I am working. [Hence, he can't be rude ALL the time.]

Do you really want to see my uniform, Bodhi.

[captain_by_the_book]

[Hah. Bad idea to pull this right now, Kay, for Cassian's attention turns to Bodhi again.]

What do you think, would you agree that he's rude?

[No shame about pulling other people into their quarrel, no shame whatsoever.]

[bodhi_rook]

[He blinks, not really wanting to be caught in the middle of this.]

I... guess you can be a little... um... blunt at times.

[He directs that at Kay, then adds, maybe trying to deflect the comment.]

And you can show me what you have to wear, sure.

[k2so]

[Too late, Bodhi, too late.]

I'm sincere, there's a difference. [Kay shoots Cassian a glare before he turns to Bodhi.]

Fine but you can't laugh. [The droid clicks the round and flat metal piece located in his wrist. Almost immediately, the device creates a holographic projection, making it look like he's wearing a suit.

[captain_by_the_book]

[Once again, Cassian can't suppress an amused snort at the sight of Kay in a suit. But hey, he's not laughing this tme.]

It look better on you than the Imperial symbol, I'll give you that.

[He gives Bodhi a look.]

Do you have to wear a uniform, too?

[bodhi_rook]

[Bodhi blinks at the image of Kay in a suit before stammering a reply.]

It looks... nice. Yes, nice.

[He glances to Cassian at the question and nods.]

Yes, it's like a navy blue jumpsuit with the logo of the Planetarium on it.

[It's not far removed from his Empire uniform besides colour and insignia.]

[k2so]

Thanks, Bodhi. [The pilot might be lying but he's at least polite in his lies. Kay gives Cassian another look, this time more friendly, and then turns off the hologram.] It does. I'm really tired of the symbol.

Sounds comfortable enough. I have yet to see Cassian's work uniform. And did any of you figures out any kind of information about the barriers? I know some people are investigating them but no one seems to be doing any advances.
