[ Whereas Merrin has come out of this whole ordeal with respect for the unknowns of this magical maelstrom they've been thrust into, Cassian can't say the same. But a similarity that they do share is that sense of needing to learn more of this place, to really dig his fingers into understanding how he can protect the few that he's quietly resolved to look after.
Doing so is a fine balance however. In order to do that means venturing into topics and areas he had so staunchly refused to for the last six months of him being here. The process has been slow going as he continues in a constant back and forth between trying not to be a stubborn ass and falling back to occupying himself with caring for River, courier duties, and his own black market dealings.
It's rare that he and the woman to run into each other in this room. Both seem to use this room as simply a place to sleep and little else. But he's between jobs and just removing his coat and gloves when she appears. He gives her a nod of thanks before his eyes skip to the beautifully coloured cupcakes. ]
Is that 'not unpleasant' in a good way or a I would be better off saving room for proper dinner?
