So what, it's a dream. What is stopping you now?

[ get a taste of that freedom, a taste of the happiness and lightness that comes from freeing a city, even for a short time, from an oppressive force. besides, nothing is stopping jyn and he's gonna have to follow her if she jumps off the building.

which she might, stepping up on the ledge. ]

Come on. Take me to a party. Never seen freedom, it could be fun.

[evasives]

It is not quite freedom yet. There are raids on the revelries later.

[ he doesn't follow standing suit, staying seated and blinking up at her. he'll leap to his feet if she makes to leap off the edge, but he suspects simply asking her might suffice too. ]

I did not particularly want to go either. [ more like! he didn't want to have fun! same difference. ]

[realists]

Yeah and that was then, this is now. [ her arms spread wide, an open, expansive gesture. after a few moments surveying the scene below them, she steps back, landing neatly back beside him where she steps in close so her voice can lower. ]

Come on, Captain. [ the back of her finger trails across his jaw, the empathy bond flaring briefly sharing her curiosity and wonder. ] I've never seen a victory before.

[ not one that wasn't couched in a massacre, at least. ]

[evasives]

[ he's still hesitating; even as he feels her happier curiosity, she'll get a sense of that from him. her touch and her use of captain is tempting as always, because at least he knows he can have fun with jyn if he can't have fun elsewhere. ]

I reiterate, not a total victory. I was off planet by the time that happens. [ a beat. ] I don't know how to attend this party. It is my dream, but I cannot think how to imagine it.

[realists]

You've celebrated victories with the Alliance.

[ they weren't there for very long, waiting for the high council to gather, but it was long enough to realize the booze was plentiful and the rebels were antsy and reckless and constantly grieving one loss or another.

cassian might not have celebrated himself but he'd seen it. and if not... she holds out her hand. ]

I can imagine it.

[evasives]

[ caution has latched onto his bones. but he reaches out to take her hand anyway, because jyn has always been able to cut right through it. ]

You might have to do most of the imagining. I rarely went to any of these things.

[ maybe when he was younger, but those were much quieter celebrations. ]
