Wasn't really my favorite either. [ it was place where his life had changed and he hadn't been able to go back yet. and, if he does find a way, he's not sure what kind of person is gonna be sent back to the mutant underground. ]
But I'm glad I could at least give you one good memory. [ it's not much but it's something. ]
[ as things sometimes go with jyn, the conversation invites a lull, an opportunity to breathe in and be reminded of the traumas and suffering that links them. daisy might joke that jyn is her sister, but the sentiment is real — they may not be related by blood, but they are connected by things much, much more important.
but that doesn't mean she wants to sit here and think about them on her not-long-enough lunch break. ]
Enough about that disaster. What's Cassian making for dinner? Did we get another box?
[ sure, she just ate, but they can talk about food. they can always talk about food. and marcos? well, he's obviously invited now. ]
[ she zones out for a second, scrolling through their recent texts. force, they talk to much... where is the food? oh look a squirrel! ha. good squirrel. oh there it is! ]
Roasted butternut squash and portobello mushroom ravioli with sautéed spinach, brown butter, sage, hemp parmesan, parsley, and pecorino. What's pecorino? [ a beat. ] Oh it's cheese made from nutritional yeast. It looks nice.
[ daisy nods, briefly; the menu sounds great, but she would honestly eat anything cassian put in front of her because she's happy so long as she doesn't have to cook.
as for marcos, she just squints. ]
Are you stupid? You're eating whatever she just said.
Cassian always makes enough food for a small army anyway.
[ it's a food insecurity slash orphan thing. that's why their pantry is stocked to last them through the next winter apocalypse. that's why they let random homeless friends sleep in closets and on couches. it's instinctive. ]
You can do the dishes if you really want to pull your weight.
[ they have a dishwasher. that's not the point. illya still makes her prewash them by hand, and she doesn't want to do it. ]
[ it's your funeral, marcos. she's not going to save you from illya's chiding wrath at that is not how one loads a dishwashing machine. she's just going to shovel her face full of food and then excuse herself to the balcony with jyn, where they can laugh at everyone else's misfortune from behind a glass door.
We used to use paper and styrofoam plates back home. Eat your food and then toss it into the trash.
[ no messy clean up, no dishes, nothing but a potentially stinky trash can. ]
Easier for large groups of people. [ not everyone ate at the same time or at all so trying to have a dishwasher wasn't easy. people pitched in in other ways but the food situation was very fluid. ]
[ or illya. one of the men. jyn and daisy are both fully willing to embrace laziness as a way of life... which is why it's probably for the best that they don't live alone together. their nice apartment would probably be a hovel by now if they did. ]

But what if... ugh, no, he's excited, we have to eat it.
[ for a second she was leaning toward pizza and then made the mistake of asking cassian if he really wanted to cook tonight. damn it. ]

ITS AWFUL Y'ALL ]
Let him be domestic, he likes it.
[ jyn likes it. but he isn't making her be domestic, he's doing all the heavy lifting. she's a terrible partner, honestly. ]
no subject
To each his own. Some people like being domestic, some people like eating pizza out of the box.
[ that was him. ]
no subject
[ she didn't know. ]
no subject
[ who would eat the box for nutritional content, if someone let her, because cardboard's probably got some fiber. ]
And I think my lunch is almost over. Am I gonna see you later?
[ marcos is a given. is jyn gonna stay late to yell about terraforming, or is she coming home on time? or is it the other way around?? who knows. ]
no subject
[ the question wasn't directed at him but he answers anyway. he did have a few things to do when he got done with work. ]
Probably.
no subject
Yeah, after Cassian flirts with Pearl.
[ she's used up all her overtime this week, they are making her leave on time. ]
