[ time to multitask!! cassian does a cursory search through a handful of mindless tv shows, looking for something distracting enough without reminding either of them about things they want to ignore. ]
[ he loses track of that search when she asks him for the kyber though. ]
Yes, of course. [ honestly he hasn't taken it off since she gave it to him, and he carefully pulls it up and over his head. there's another pause, but he shifts and sits down on the floor beside the tub, high enough that he can still reach her. he leans in and swallows nervously, but he helps her get the necklace back on, retying it at her own preferred length. ]
[ he shoots her a quiet sort of smile. ] I kept it safe.
[ just like she kept herself safe (mostly) and brought herself back to him. ]
