i'm responsible for determining environmental hazards on planets with low human populations when the navigator picks landings, so i usually try to take it into account
[ would other people think to ask him about this? he definitely remembers blasting cassian in the face a few times with water, when the guy started looking like he was liable to blow to pieces at the smallest breeze, but that doesn't prove anything. notably he's not asking about DIRT in the cracks of the floorboards. ]

[ It's easier to tell when someone is lying in person. You have the full context of their facial expression, their body language and the way their breath might hitch of stall. Text is harder.

[ it's getting late, though. this is a graceless attempt to leave the conversation before he sticks his foot in his mouth again. ]
