[video] un: k2so

[A video! Of a DROID. A dark faced droid with white photoreceptors looking at his video feed. If droids could have facial expressions, his would be confused, or annoyed, or a bit of both really.]

Handy man. I was assigned to be a handy man at a place called Nuts and Bolts. What an absurd name for a business. If they understood my capabilities they would understand they are well above “Handy Man”. I am not some simple labor droid.

[He pauses his rant, head lifting and looking back and forth, before continuing to speak again.]

This situation is abnormal. The odds that they are lying however appear to be low. The situation I recorded last was ... not good, so this could be considered a vast improvement. I am, however, unfamiliar with some of the technology here. They could have at least equipped me with some upgrades instead of this communication device.

[What a string of complaints! Oh right, this device. He looked down to it again, stared, then lifted his other hand near it.]

I am K-2SO. I am looking for those who may understand the call sign of “Rogue One” ... which is also an absurd name.

That is all. [and he would cut the feed unless someone replies to this. The odds of someone replying are high. The odds of it being someone he actually knows are about middle ground. That, to him, is being optimistic and hopeful]

There is a saying about pots calling kettles black, [ Cassian points out, because Kay has been stubborn as long as he has existed as his own personality. ] considering that both are black, and so are you, I can say that she might just out-stubborn you, Kay.

[ That was a convoluted statement, Cassian, but he's grinning. ]

You should tell her you're friends when she least expects it. [ Like when she's sick or something. ]

Seeing as I am already black. It looks as if I will at least give her a run for her credits. [Kay, please...] The question is, will she out stubborn you.

[Not nice at all. Saying it like that makes it sound as if Cassian is the unreasonable one between the three of them.]

Someday. Maybe. If that were true. If this isn't all just a ploy. [Which is to say he likes Jyn, so yes, someday he will let her know. When she isn't ready.]

I am glad to see you, Cassian. [his tone had gone so much softer at that. He was actually very glad to see him.]

I don't think so. [ Cassian crosses his arms over his chest and smiles. ] I care. She's gonna have to get used to the idea, that's all.

[ It's that simple (no it isn't) and Cassian can't afford to take any reaction she has to that idea personally. There's a lot going on that has nothing to do with him, and they've only known each other for a short time anyway. ] They both will.

[ Whenever he gets around to saying something. Still, he practically beams up at the droid. ] I thought I might go insane, here on my own. I've started on your sweater.
