Ain't no one had an original thought in their head the last five hundred years? Lord.
Ah... it'd be nice to see Tunisia again, or maybe Paris, see if that old tower's still standing. Practice my French. Best friend was born in Birmingham, so that might be something worth taking in.
( he wonders if reggie's still wanderin' the world as a ghost. maybe he's been a constant companion of the hicks family all these long years, an' has made a go of it. lotta ghosts have stuck around for some thousands of years, but... there's a very real part of him that hopes he's gone on. found somethin' better than the half life he'd burdened himself with on gene's account. )
I don't know, Jyn, I'd go just about anywhere in good company.
[ most of what he says is absolute gibberish to jyn, but living with daisy has taught her the fine art of googling for herself -- hopefully el thinks to cover up their search histories because that is the most damnable evidence that the displaced do not belong here.
why would someone born here need to search "what is santa claus" ]
As someone who's done his fair share of travel between countries, albeit some six hundred or so years out of date, I at least remember it as being a beautiful world. I reckon I can't exactly play tour guide, but I'll accompany you as many places as you'd like.
( he sees that rather artless dodge, thanks. but at least he's gentle about it. )
Reckon it's easier sometimes, to throw yourself into something wholly alien rather than explore what's just wrong enough to feel a queer thing. Everyone's different, after all.
( he loved tunisia, but he ain't ever set foot outside of alabama except to go to fort bragg in carolina for trainin', an' new york for his apprenticeship. it seems to fit, somehow. )
[ sure, she wouldn't have a rap sheet if not for the empire because there would be nothing to fight against -- there would, there is always something -- but jyn doesn't think her prison time wasn't at least somewhat deserved. the sentence was inflated but, like she said...
she made something of a habit of being a nuisance. ]
With respect, what I think of you is my business, and it's based on how you've treated me. You've been kind beyond reckoning, I don't care about the rest.
Cassian was part of the rebellion and he realized that the girl in prison was more useful to the war effort outside of prison and he sent a team to collect me.
For the best he wasn't there, I hit Melshi with a shovel and broke his ribs.
[ honestly it's baffling to jyn that gene thinks so kindly of her -- she wears her guilt like a mink coat, she expects people to see her past transgressions as clearly as she does, see her mistakes and regrets spelled out on a marquee. doesn't everyone receive a list of reasons they should abandon jyn? ]
