[ it doesn't count as a proposition when it's internal monologue jyn. ]

You are fixated on him.

That's why we secretly build up your tolerance and surprise him one day.

[ not going to mention that... was something they were already doing. Before. ]

[realists]

Stupid spleen delayed that

[evasives]

Maybe you can handle it better without your spleen.

[realists]

Maybe a test for a day with no pain pills

[evasives]

Yes, something to test when you are off them completely.

[realists]

The dream

[evasives]

It will happen one day.

[realists]

I wish one day was not so far away

[evasives]

If you keep following all the rules it will come sooner rather than later.

[realists]

I've been trying!

[ not to the letter though because she is tired ]

[evasives]

I know. I am saying keep it up.

[realists]

Yeah well

You of all people know I suck at the follow through

[evasives]

You are not doing bad with this.

[realists]

I'll take your word for it. Can I have the dog back?

[evasives]

She is currently begging for scraps. Not sure I can break her away from that.

[realists]

Betrayed

[evasives]

She will live. It's too spicy for her tonight.

[realists]

Zapata! Come to Mama!

[ the dog ignores her, wagging her tail at cassian. ]

She isn't coming, is she?

[evasives]

Her ears perked very briefly. But she has one thing on her mind.

[realists]

It's okay, I can cheat.

[ she shakes a container of cheese balls which sounds exactly like zapata's treat container. ]

Come'ere mija!

[evasives]

[ the poor dog is torn between the sound of her treats and the delicious smells right in front of her. she prances around, peering into the doorway to look at jyn. ]

The actual treats are out here, I will just lure her back.

[realists]

[ whispered to the dog: ] Come here, baby girl.

[ maybe it is that jyn is still sad on the floor or the hope for treats, but the happy puppy finally trots inside and sits by jyn's hand for pets. of which she is rewarded with many many many pets and whispered sweet nothings. zapata is a good girl, she is the best girl. ]

It's a pity dogs can't purr.

[evasives]

[ you know what, jyn could use the cuddles, and cassian could use the space to cook, so maybe he will not lure his dog back just yet. ]

The speedy tail wag will have to substitute. She is whiny enough as it is, imagine if she could purr too.

[realists]

I would like it. Rumbly space heater.

[evasives]

Loud space heater.
