RebelCaptain First Meeting

Internal Cassian: Oh no. A hot girl. It’s okay, Cassian. You just need to not come off grouchy and bitter. Turn up the charm. Ask her about something she likes… like her family.

External Cassian: When was the last time you were in contact with your father?

Jyn: 15 years ago.

Internal Cassian: Oh shit. They’re not close. This is awkward. Just be casual about it.

External Cassian: Any idea where he’s been all that time?

Jyn: I like to think he’s dead, makes things easier.

Internal Cassian: Okay. Maybe you should drop this subject. No. Then she’ll think you’re cold and uncaring. Maybe ask her about it? Let her get her feelings out?

External Cassian: Easier than what? That he’s been a tool of the Imperial war machine?

Jyn: *evidently pissed*

Internal Cassian: Okay. Maybe family isn’t a good subject. Try asking about her social life. Maybe she likes to talk about her friends?

External Cassian: When was your last contact with Saw Gerrera? 

Jyn: *still evidently pissed* It’s been a long time.

Internal Cassian: I feel like this is not how flirting is supposed to work.
