[ but even if he hadn't known marcos had just been through something traumatic, cassian would still recognize the signs of it when he sees marcos hurrying away from the foundation near their apartment complex. he's been sleeping in their closet again on occasion, so he's not surprised to see him here, but worry creases in his brows. ]

[ cassian moves quickly but carefully, taking a long circled arc around so when he appears it'll be in marcos's vision and not behind him. ]
