A stream of invectives that would shock his father half to death (and probably manage to impress Baze) go off inside Bodhi's head. This isn't--he doesn't--and Cassian sure as hells wouldn't want to be seen like--
But he's here, in Bodhi's room, and he's falling apart. This is happening, and he had better pull himself together and...and be half as solid as Cassian and Jyn have been for him. Even if he didn't want, with an aching fierceness, to do that for him, he owe Cassian that.
"Your name is, is Cassian Andor," he says, and now he's holding Cassian's hand between both of his, not just pressing reassuringly at his knee. "You're a captain with the Rebellion to re-restore the Republic. C-Captain Andor. You're, um, Rebel Intelligence, a spy, so I don't--I don't know all the th-thi--the details you know."
"On paper you're, well, you're our CO," there's that mouth twitch again, a little less strained now that they're not on the topic of Jedha. "B-but in reality we, we, we plan missions together, be-because Jyn's, uh, Jyn, and Chi-chirrut and Baze aren't, tech--nically with the Rebellion and I'm, I, I need to think them through. Orders, I mean. You, you let me."
You're Bodhi Rook? You're the pilot?
Bodhi strokes at Cassian's white knuckled fingers and sighs. "Does that--does any of that help?"
