Grimacing, gritting back all the curses he's tempted to yell at himself, Cassian forces himself to sit back. Give Bodhi space.
He's being horrible to Bodhi. Prioritizing Jyn when Bodhi is in just as much distress. Using him as a means to an end rather than an end in of himself. And it took him too long and too large a provoked reaction from Bodhi in order to realize it.
"I'm sorry," Cassian says quietly. "Forgive me. …I just had my shoulder fixed by Rory Williams at the hospital… I think you'd like him." (It's hard to think of anybody who wouldn't like Rory. But Bodhi in particular is not being even slightly comforted by Cassian… deserves care Cassian clearly can't provide, on any level.) "Should we go back to see him? He might be able to help you too."
And we might be able to get insight as to what's…
Stop, damn you. Stop. Bodhi's important in of himself.
Cassian sat back further, onto his heels, prepped to stand, and extended his hand to Bodhi. Hopefully not in invasion, but in offer.
