[motivation]

wish i could just punch something and be done with it

[evasives]

That is Jyn's preferred method as well.

I am not sure it always works. But punching bags exist too.

[motivation]

even i know it doesn't always work
sometimes you need to science the shit out of stuff to solve problems

[evasives]

I do not know if science has the answers to being a good person either.

Maybe there is a combination of all of the above.

[motivation]

what if we're too broken?

[ we is easier to write than i. she thinks cassian won't take it personally. she thinks he must have wondered the same thing at some point, but maybe she's wrong about that. ]

[evasives]

[ he thinks he is most of the time. it's not really a wonder so much as something he takes as fact: cassian andor is very broken. ]

You can still keep trying to fix whatever is left.

[ she used 'we,' but he can't bring himself to do the same. ]

[motivation]

[ she notices the you, the lack of we, but doesn't even know how to begin addressing that. ]

i've been trying

[evasives]

That counts. It means you want to do better.

Intentions are important.

[ now if only he could apply that logic to himself too. ]

[motivation]

half the time

what about you?

[evasives]

Half the time is still more than none of the time.

What, my intentions?

[motivation]

yeah

[evasives]

I do what I need to for the Rebellion.

[ listen. he will defend everyone else's intentions just fine but his own clearly DON'T MATTER. ]

[motivation]

there's no rebellion here

[ let her point that out instead of the hypocrisy of his disregard for himself ]

[evasives]

[ he never said he wasn't a hypocrite!! ]

No, but there are many similarities between the corruption of this world and my own.

My intentions vary from mission to mission.

[motivation]

there's the whole morningstar thing
you into that?

[evasives]

I was. It seemed like a good means to an end.

But some of the people involved do not know how to work with an organization like that.

[motivation]

what happened?

[evasives]

How did you miss it?

Subtly is not many people's strong suit here.

[motivation]

you mean the whole pr shitstorm?

[evasives]

That is putting it nicely.

There is a line between doing something necessary and not alienating a populace.

[motivation]

so now what?

[evasives]

Still working on that part for myself.

[motivation]

let me know when you figure it out

[ when, not if

he better appreciate her faith in him ]

[evasives]

I will.

[ he does, actually, and it is reassuring. ]

You know I make no promises on giving up sobriety, but if you want company for a drink sometime, you can always give me more types to try.

[ she is alone and sad about johnny... maybe a roundabout offering of company is the best approach. ]

[motivation]

[ she sees what you're doing, cassian. she sees what you're doing, but it's — roundabout enough that she can take him up on it easily. ]

there's a whole lot of whiskey you should try
