"See, Papa, now we can all see the redwoods, together." Jyn pats her father's arm, his hand lifting to briefly cover hers in a simple show of affection for his daughter, inclining his head to Cassian.
"Family vacation," Bodhi offers, to further hammer it home in solidarity for Cassian. He's Bodhi's friend, too!
"I would like that, I think Lyra would as well."
Faint yipping comes from down the hall and both Jyn and Chantico perk up at the noise; Jyn because she knows that annoying yip and Chantico because NEW FRIEND?
"What would I like?" A woman turns the corner wearing jean overalls that look permanently stained with soil and grass, her hair half pulled back, expression open and questioning. Jyn thinks that she looks more like her father, but she is the spitting image of her mother, apart from Jyn's green eyes.
"Ah. You must be Cassian!" Instead of a handshake, Lyra comes right in for the hug while Jyn crouches down to scoop up the tiny mangy dog that had followed her mother, curling her elderly puppy up in her arms. Sure, Cassian is meeting her mother and she should pay attention but instead she ignores everyone else to whisper sweet nothings to her baby.
"Shara won't stop talking about how she wants to meet you both." So? Family vacation?? That's a thing that's apparently happening now? He's honestly kind of too thrown by the concept to think too deeply about it, so he's just going with the flow.
Fortunately his overthinking is interrupted by Jyn's mother, who immediately leans in for a hug. His hand is still out for a shake when she wraps her arms around him, and he doesn't really know... how to react, so it takes a few seconds for him to awkwardly pat her in return.
"Hello," he says, trying to smooth over his awkwardness with a smile when she pulls back.
"It's good to finally meet you," Lyra says warmly. She looks so much like Jyn, only she is much more effusive right off the bat. Chantico, naturally, zooms over to say her own hellos, but Cassian's grateful for the little interruption. "And you! Who is this fluffy friend?"
"My dog, Chantico," he says, just as his poor dog suffers a crisis of attention. Does she bother this new human? Or the new dog?? A conundrum, circling between Jyn and Loki and her mother with a whine.
