[cassian gets the sense it's not digging, which weirdly makes it easier to answer more openly than he might have a few months ago.]

I used to use free time to sleep. [he didn't like having nothing to do. he had breaks, of course, but nothing nearly as significant as being here.] Even when I had downtime on missions, it was impossible to relax, no matter the planet. Too risky.

[he huffs, the sound amused even if it's not quite a laugh. but, being weirded out by living space here, relatable.] We had quarters on base, but this apartment in quarantine is... different. I've probably spent more time here than in those quarters.
