Bodhi likes organizing, he likes people, it was right up his alley. Jyn likes children and her work. It was stupid, in her opinion, that she even had to be the face of the group but she was the one with the Erso name and she is the one that reminds people of her father, if she wanted to course correct her family legacy, unfortunately she had to put her name on it.
But Bodhi could still do most of the background effort.
"You're very young to be a captain, aren't you?" Maybe she is just used to Captains Kirk (the Shatner version) and Picard and Von Trapp. Comparatively, even with medical training under his belt, he seems pretty young, if not still older than her. Maybe she just really knows zero things about rank. That was Air Force doctor Bodhi Rook's thing, not hers.
He is getting more and more of a picture of these siblings and he's only spoken to them both very minimally. It's not a bad thing, but it does kind of make him miss Shara. He hasn't seen her since Poe was born.
"I was not aware you were an expert on captaincy." He's probably a little old for it, but he hadn't really wanted to advance in the military much more beyond that. He just wanted the school, however grueling those years. "I am in my thirties, if that's what you are trying to ask."
"You don't have to be so prickly, Captain Andor." Says the most prickly person on the planet. Maybe it's just the darkness, but it looks almost like Jyn winks at him before she moves back to the tent construction. The fire is made, food is made, and Jyn retreats to her single tent with her ear plugs once she's eaten and that is the last he hears from her that day.
The work isn't difficult, but trekking across the countryside is tiring even for Jyn who gives up her morning runs after about two days. It leaves them quieter at camp than they usually would be she imagines, but it means the sleep is good and they all conk out almost comically early. It's a few days in when Bodhi comes down with a summer cold and his already terrible snoring becomes unbearable. Jyn's tent is already as far as can be without losing the heat of the fire but she gives up and decides to move it further back, to just under the canopy of the trees.
She's clambering out of the tent when she straightens up to find Cassian lingering in front of her tent. A small smile flutters across her expression as she shoves the sleeve of her loose sweater back up on her shoulder, it falls back down immediately.
"I told you so. Come on, Captain, help me move the tent back and then you can admit defeat and move in until he can breathe again."
It's a last ditch effort, trekking across the camp towards Jyn's tent. She is the only one who probably understands the need to escape Bodhi's snoring, and if he's being honest, he hasn't really spoken to anyone else as much as he has her.
"He is just one person," he grumbles. "Not even the ear plugs helped."
He moves forward, closer to the tent to help her move it as requested. He's glad he doesn't have to actually ask to share hers, however temporary. He already feels awkward enough about it. Which is stupid, he's a grown man. They're both adults, adults tired of loud snores and in need of good sleep.
"Where do you want to move it? Just closer to the trees?"
"Yeah, as far as way as possible to not hear him but probably not freeze to death." It isn't hard to move, Jyn's backpack doesn't weigh much and her sleeping bag weighs less. Between the two of them it's only a matter of seconds to drag the tent back and under the canopy of the trees and Jyn clambers into the tent to push her sleeping back to one side, making room for Cassian.
"Come on in."
She hasn't shared a tent since she was a little girl and that was with one of her parents, she and Bodhi never even shared a room at home. It doesn't occur to her to find this weird though, simply shifting her stuff to make room for another person. It should be weird, but it's not.
Okay, it's a little weird falling to sleep to the sound of someone else's breathing but Jyn notices that it actually helps her block out the snoring so she falls asleep faster and stays asleep long enough that Bodhi has to come wake her up. Awkward.
