Kay had been running analytical probability simulations for the past half hour, and given that was one of the things he was actually designed for, he'd gotten through a few thousand of them in that time, many of them taking mere fractions of a second while others took longer, but the problem was that none of them made any sense.
When someone actually approached him instead of giving him a wide berth -or simply not noticing him in the corner he'd decided to lurk in- it was actually a surprise, and more of a surprise when he realized who it was. At the end he'd been calculating his little mechanical heart out, trying to come up with a situation, however improbable, that Cassian would survive, and he hadn't been able to fully comprehend one before his own time was up.
But apparently there had been one.
How a droid with no eyelids could widen its eyes in surprise was anyone's guess, but somehow Kay managed it, or at least a reasonable facsimile of it, "Cassian?" He reached over to tap Cassian's jaw with the back of a hand, not the slap it had been once before, but enough to indicate that he remembered, "You survived."
