Multi-multi-tasking.

I'll be near your sector later today, I could bring you lunch.

[ not his sector, per se, because jyn doesn't know where cassian lives and she doubts she ever will, but it is the sector where the transit authority is located. ]

[evasives]

That is my area of expertise.

How later is later?

[ it's a nice gesture, but he isn't sure how he feels about it. it's not like he can go hang out with her after lunch. ]

[realists]

Lunch time?

Yours, not my version of lunch time.

[ girl barely eats lunch so jyn's version of lunch time would be never ]

[evasives]

[ her sense of time is so BAD. ]

Are you still in your pajamas?

[realists]

No

[evasives]

Impressive.

My lunch time is 12:15.

[realists]

[ it's not that impressive. she showered and then laid back in bed without dressing. ]

Perfect!

[evasives]

I only get 30 minutes.

[ so she can't be late or he won't get to eat! ]

[realists]

I am always punctual!

[evasives]

Why do I find that a little bit hard to believe?

[realists]

You've never met me at a specific time.

[evasives]

I guess we will see today then.

[ he's not going to turn down free food. ]

[realists]

What are you doing right now?

What are you working on is the better question, I suppose.

[evasives]

An engine for one of the trains.

[realists]

Can I see it?

[evasives]

Really? There is not much to see. Unless you have not seen an engine up close before.

[realists]

I haven't, only diagrams.

[evasives]

[ well ok. he... guesses he can send her a picture of one. it's kind of weird, but it's not like she's ever had a reason to come down and investigate for herself. ]

[ so, he sends her a picture of the one he's working on. it's harmless enough. ]

[ not like it's a bomb. ]

[realists]

Neat.

[ ten minutes later she sends him a perfectly drawn diagram of that engine. ]

Can you label it for me when you get a chance?

[evasives]

It probably will not be until after lunch at the earliest.

[realists]

No rush

[evasives]

Do you like this kind of mechanical work?

[realists]

Yeah

My father didn't really think to have toys for me so I spent most of my time at his office playing with the drafting board.

[evasives]

[ he resists the urge to text back "my father didn't have any toys for me because he was too busy being murdered." ]

The years of drawing practice paid off.

[realists]

Yeah

At least I have some use
