[ The crew jumpsuit they gave him is tight with bright purple stripes running the length of it, when he's used to baggy plain grey. Wearing it he feels more like a podracer superstar than a former Imperial cargo pilot, which in turn makes him both slightly more confident and slightly more nervous, his body language all crossed legs and fidgeting. His dark eyes dart, nervous. ]

Listen. Listen. Hello, yes, listen, I need help.

[ He sounds a little urgent about it, voice dropped low. ]

Um, I've followed the instructions, and turned up to work, and I want to work, I do. It's the least I could do, I think.

[ He feels grateful enough to even be here that he's fallen immediately back into the old routine of following orders, and after the initial introduction and orientation was over his orders were to report for his first shift at the electronics store. So he's done that before even going to see if the directions to his ship held true. Before even seeing Cassian and Jyn. And that has... well, proven to be a mistake. ]

I've worked out how to send a message — assuming anyone actually sees this — but I don't really know how to fix them. Does anybody have any tips about using the technology here? It's just a little, um, different from what I'm used to. Okay. Thank you.

[ He seems a little sheepish about having to ask at all, grimacing to himself as he ends the transmission and signs off. ]

Places to eat, too. [ But Cassian would rather cook for them than sit somewhere and wait for people to serve them. He'd rather watch Jyn and Bodhi connect and reconnect than sit, surrounded by strangers and acting as if this wasn't the most amazing thing to happen to them in some time. Being alive. Being together. ]

[ Bodhi's eyes light up. He's just a kid from Jedha, piloting barely made enough money to pull his family above the poverty line. And even then, long haul trips didn't lend themselves to fancy food, and the Imperial cafeterias weren't that great. The only time he really ate fresh food was at home. ]

Yeah!

[ He's still just walking along and letting Jyn steer him. ]

Whatever you guys want, right now I think I would eat anything.

[ Just don't leave him behind! ]

[ she looks over at cassian, a little shrug of her shoulders to imply she has no clue as to what they should eat because if jyn had her way so would live off nothing but fruit and tea and also donuts. ]

The market on the first floor or the third? That one does have that bread. [ sticky cinnamon bread you pull apart and dunk in your tea or coffee if you've no taste. ]

[ There's this magical concept called 'basic nutrient value' that Cassian is hellbent on ensuring their food manages to compare to, and unfortunately 'donuts', while delicious, do not do the thing.

So. ]

Third floor. The bread is really good. And they do interesting things with coffee?

[ex_brainstorm70]

It's decided then.

[ And off they go to the third floor. Where Bodhi is absolutely going to try some of this cinnamon bread — and dunk it in Cassian's coffee because he didn't get any for himself; it's not like he needs to be more wired. He has a bubble tea instead. Though like Jyn he's not really interested in eating stuff with genuine nutritional value, whoops. ]
