Cassian and Jyn were - somewhere - and while Bodhi wasn't up to quite so brazen a suggestion as Thea's, he was hoping to give the two space to sort themselves out. He was just coming off a run, so Bodhi made his way to a makeshift common room where someone had set up a device that produced an approximation of caf. Not quite the same, but close enough to be: dark, bitter, and effective. Seeing Jaina Solo already there, he nodded. "Good evening," he said to his fellow pilot. "Or morning. I forget which it is."
Bodhi was still a bit in awe of the fact that he was on a team with not one but four Jedi, three of whom were apparently also children to one of the galaxy's more infamous smugglers. (Also that he had somehow survived Scarif, but it was better not to think too hard on that.) He'd stuck mostly to his friends here on Mars - strange that he'd been on Mars for longer than his entire membership in the Rebel Alliance but his Rogue One comrades were still the ones he considered family - but the others were becoming friends enough that he felt less nervous around them, and he wanted to know them better.
Letting out a small yawn, Jaina stirred the cup of tea with a small stick in her hand. She looked up at her fellow pilot. “Hey Bodhi,” she greeted as she looked around the room for what time it is. “You know, I don’t know either.” She laughed.
“Were you on patrol? I couldn’t sleep, I was thinking of tinkering a little bit and seeing if we could speed some of the ships up a little bit,” she shrugged. “Everything quiet out there?”
Bodhi grinned a little self-consciously. "My timepiece says one, but my brain says another," he said. "I think I need a reset. It's quiet, at least up there. Too quiet, isn't that the saying? I could see smoke from the fires when I was coming in, though. I made a note of all the locations." He was rambling unnecessarily. Jaina knew the standard procedures at least as well as he did, but he didn't want to leave any impression of neglect. "I feel bad for the people on the ground, even if it will get to us soon. We'll probably need the speed eventually."
He ran out of words and smiled at himself. "I'd offer to help, but I'm better with communications than engines."
Frowning, she really didn’t like war, it was part of life but that didn’t mean she had to like it. “Kriff,” she breathed out. “Might be the quiet before the storm kind of situation, things always seem to calm at some point before a big blow up.”
She nodded. “More speed is good speed, and you could work with the communications aspect and see if anything needs to be improved if you aren’t ready to crash, but sleep is important.”
Bodhi shook his head as he filled a cup. "I'm all right. I'll sleep later." Sleep still tended to bring memories of Saw and Bor Gullet and awakening was a disorienting process. Better to have something to do. "I'd be glad to take a look."
He knew what she meant. "Eadu always seemed that way. Quiet, but waiting. I didn't think about it before I started talking to Galen, but then." He took a gulp of coffee for emphasis. Poor Galen. But they'd carried out his last request. It had been worth it. Bodhi frowned down into his cup and then looked up again.
Jaina almost wanted to protest that he could really go get sleep, but she knew that feeling of maybe sleep not being such a bad idea, so she just smiled and nodded.
Stepping closer to him she put a comforting hand on his shoulder but didn’t say anything. She knew that look all too well and she knew the pain. “Come on, let’s at least go be useful, it’ll help.” Maybe not totally but, it usually did help.
There was a familiar understanding there. Like Melshi's commandos or even the Imperial pilots Bodhi had served with, Jaina had seen things and lost people. Bodhi didn't know the details of his galaxy's future - or futures, as there seemed to be at least two - but he knew that the Rebellion against the Empire was not the only war to come.
She was right. Being useful did help. Bodhi downed the rest of his coffee and smiled back. "All right," he said. "Let's take a look at those ships."
Grinning, Jaina nodded. “They won’t even know what hit them with our improvements!” She told him as she lead the way towards the ships.
