[cassian does not have very much in the way of possessions. he never did, so not even a few months in the quarantine is enough time for him to get much more than the basic necessities. he has nothing to trade. it doesn't stop him from poking around at the stuff swap anyway. he tells himself he's going for an idea of what other people might be giving away, but deep down he knows he's wondering if he'll see anything familiar.]
[most of the others here are cheery and good natured enough, so it's not hard for him to notice the way the mystery man is looking at the extremely fancy lamp is a lot more grim than needed for electricity, no matter how excessive the design. he sort of looks like he needs to not be in the middle of a market right now but doesn't quite know how to reach that step, so cassian speaks up to maybe sort of prod him along. he recognizes that expression all too well. HE'S DONE.]
They have far more simple lamps elsewhere, since that does not seem to be your taste.
