[ he leans back on his hands, his own feet idle in the water. the sun is warm, the water is clear, and jyn's cheeks area already turning pink. ]
Does Pulsar have a branch here? [ he honestly never looked. he just associates new honolulu with vacation and relaxation - two very new concepts in his life, but ones he is trying very hard to get used to. ]
Though working in the same place we come to have a break does not seem like the best idea. [ he is learning!! ]
We work in the same place we live right now. Why not work somewhere that is by the sea?
[ her kicking feet makes a splashing sound against the sandbar as she searches through the pulsar directory to see if there is a subsidiary in new honolulu. there is not but jyn isn't going to let that stop her. ]
I am not sure I want to work in a place like this. [ he kicks his feet too, not quite realizing he's started mimicking her. ]
New Honolulu is... [ hm. how does he phrase this. he's never had to use these words in this order before, because downtime is a new aspect of cassian's life. ] Like an escape.
[ it's just him and jyn away from their regular lives. they've visited several cities together before, and he likes that it's just... fun. they do it for fun. ]
I suppose, [ jyn agrees, begrudging and almost sullen, mouth pulling down in a pout. she understands, of course, but that doesn't mean she has to like it!
she shifts, rolling on to her side to face him, letting her fingers ghost across the wet shirt clinging to cassian's stomach, setting her hand against his side where her fingers fit perfectly between his ribs. as if jyn were made to fill the negative space of cassian's chest. ]
I was really looking forward to tasting salt on your skin everyday.
[ maybe she can flirt him into agreeing with her. ]
[ she fits so perfectly, it always seems to startle him that one person can seal up all the cracks in his being. she might be hitting on him with an express purpose, but her (public) touch and her (public) flirting only makes him smile. they're outside, it counts as public even if there's no one around. he just likes to feel wanted, and her hand is warm. he covers it up with his own. ]
Wouldn't that get boring after a while? [ she likes variety. ]
[ she ducks her head to kiss the crook of his elbow, licking up his bicep with a pleased hum. salty, delicious. force, she loves his arms, nosing against his sun warmed skin. she could stay like this forever, wouldn't get bored once. ]
Would you say that even if you were not trying to convince me to move to the ocean? [ he softens a little, not strictly from the casual affection, but her words too. it's still hard sometimes to think of himself as someone she wants to be around all the time. he feels very warm, and not just from the sun either. ]
We could live in a cave, with nothing, and I'd be happy. [ a beat. ] Well, food. I'd need food.
[ food and, because it's jyn, blankets. but even the blankets are negotiable. food is non-negotiable for survival purposes. the water she can provide herself. ]
I rather like having a house. [ he's slept in plenty of caves, but it isn't necessary here. they have a cozy bed, a well lived in room, and a stockpile of unperishables. ] Just because we can sleep anywhere doesn't mean we have to anymore.
[ he gives her a kiss on the cheek. ] I am happy with you too. Just not convinced about living here.
Alright, [ she mock grumbles, drawing out the words to disguise how easily she is giving in. she doesn't love new amsterdam but she does admittedly love their apartment. she hasn't had her own space since saw set up that cramped, spartan room and looked at her with such hopeful eyes.
she couldn't say no then, she can't say no now. home is important.
settling a little more comfortably draped across him like a starfish, jyn kisses up his jaw, enjoying the taste of salt on his lips and his tongue, heat of desire suffusing her body while the sun warms their skin. after a long while of leisurely kissing, jyn sits up, stretching. ]
Race you.
[ without further ado she dives into the water and she's off. ]

Boring is living in New Amsterdam still.

So much of my work is based in New Amsterdam.
