[ Cassian hadn't needed to join the rebellion to get a good read on people. It's what had made all those years before Luthen, before having to deal with Maya Pei's headache inducing band of idiots, easier. When you knew how to work people, how to quietly understand what made them tick, it made everything else that involved them a hell of a lot easier.

But there's no need to read too deeply into what the young woman who had just tried to play galatic bumper cars with him because she's so visibly surprised at his arrival that it's clear she isn't guarding any of emotions in this moment. The anger, the very obvious expression of someone about to rip his head off with her own hands may as well have been a figment of his imagination.

And it successfully manages to diffuse the situation. Though it does also manage to leave him staring her a little less dumbfounded as he wracks his memory trying to recall if they've met before. Coming up short there's really only one thing to ask - ]

...Do I know you?
