Серия Won't You Let Us Wander здоровская, и моменты с Бэйзом и Чиррутом хочется сохранять на память, целыми абзацами))


Cassian is quick to recognize when Chirrut is scheming – because you are always scheming, Baze pointed out when Chirrut voiced the complaint earlier this morning – and would turn him away before Chirrut could discover anything important.

Anyway, Chirrut takes offense to both of them. This isn’t so much scheming as it is repairing. Healing. Solving.

If there’s anything that Chirrut likes more than making people laugh, it’s fixing them. Perhaps that’s why he’s even here, why he rescued Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor and befriended them to the point where he can no longer imagine ever being separated from them. Perhaps that’s why he’s drawn to them, and to the immensely lovable Bodhi Rook. Perhaps that’s why he can feel them the way he can, nestled close against his heart like lost children.

K-2SO knocks on Chirrut and Baze’s door in the middle of the sleep cycle.

They know it’s K-2SO because he very loudly announces, “This is K-2SO. I would like to have a normal, routine conversation about nothing in particular.”

“He thought he was going to be a spy for you,” Baze reminds Chirrut as he disentangles himself from Chirrut’s still-drowsy grasp and the blankets that wind around his legs as he goes. Chirrut would probably find this hysterical if he was just a bit less tired, but he’s exhausted and cold, and the last thing he wants is this unsettling droid standing in his quarters.

Polle hands him off, and Cassian lets out a quiet, surprised sound when Chirrut's presumed offer of assistance turns into a desperate hug.

“You foolish boy,” Chirrut says, pulling back, and Cassian laughs, relieved, pained, barely audible. “You could have been killed. What were you thinking?”

“I wasn’t,” Cassian admits. “Instinct.”

“Ignore him. That was beautiful,” Baze says. Chirrut scoffs, persisting through Cassian’s weak attempts to bat him away, to get him to stop feeling his face for injury.

“This is why we never had children. Imagine how they would have been raised.”

“Exactly like this,” Baze points out. “And we swore an oath, remember? The temple was our child. That’s why we don’t have any.”

“Pfft. There are loopholes. Will you sit down? You’ll hurt your leg more. All the complaining you do about me not taking care of myself, and you act like this about a serious injury.”

“Serious injury,” Baze says with a disbelieving snort. “At worst, it’s a scrape.”

Пожалуй, самое любимое:

Chirrut knows that Baze is probably already rolling his eyes the moment Cassian sits down at their table in the mess, but Chirrut doesn’t care. He knows that Cassian has to travel to Echo Base in the afternoon to meet with the princess, but for now he’s all theirs, and Chirrut isn’t the type to waste time.

(Considering after meeting him twice, Chirrut marched up to Baze and asked, 'Are you as beautiful as you sound?' he has a feeling Baze would agree with that sentiment).
