WARNINGS • please warn in the subject headings



[ you wake up on an abandoned spaceship in an unfamiliar quadrant of space, unhurt, but nauseated and dizzy, wearing whatever you were wearing before, with no possessions but what you were carrying with them.

the corridors are dark and grimy, dimly lit by lights that flicker now and then. it's cold enough to see your breath fog up before your face, but artificial gravity and life support seem to be working just fine.

welcome to your new home. ]

[ the description is apt enough, but it takes him aback for a moment, eyes widening a little. it's an odd thing to say, isn't it? the surprise doesn't last, but for a moment, there's something softer in his face, around his eyes. that doesn't last, either. ]

My name's Jeron Aach.

[ it isn't, but it's a lie he's told so many times that it feels natural enough. cassian is a good liar when he needs to be, and he's certain that right now, he needs to be. ]

And why did you kidnap me, Jeron? [ she says his name with sass because it's totally a villian name and if anyone kidnapped her, it was someone named JERON AACH. fo sho.]

I didn't.

[ he doesn't seem particularly taken aback at the question, but then, he hasn't really shown very much emotion or affect at all so far. there's too much going on inside his own mind right now for him to reliably fake it. the words are flat, but certain. ]
