For a being incapable of facial expressions, it's remarkable how judgmental K can look when he wants to. "I don't see how that will help."
Cassian blinks, trying to sift through these new developments as rapidly as possible. Bodhi's baffled, worried face. Bodhi stilling his hands to silence him - no: to calm him down; it feels like that, as if Cassian's flailing himself into a panic over nothing. Bodhi giving the K-thing directions, the way he might to Neph - and that realization hits him at the same moment as K's sulky rejoinder. He blinks again, his head clearing a little. His breath comes back under his control, and with it the Dad Voice. "K," he says. "Go on."
There's an ominous whir. His heart jumps.
But the voice echoes, "Go find Jyn," in exactly the precise, resentful tone he knows so well, and the massive shadow moves past him, eerily light on its mechanical feet, and stalks on down the corridor. Cassian draws another, shaking breath, and doesn't watch it go.
