sorry for delay! hope this works!

Cassian gave one of his rare, slight smiles, curled his fingers once more against Kay's plating, then turned away; and finally collapsed into the bed.

The six year-old slipped from cover. He ran out onto the great sprawling steps of the Academy. In the midst of the riot, with a toy blaster, he put himself in front of Jeron's body and tried to defend it. He was knocked over by larger bodies who didn't see him at all. The blaster fell somewhere away. The child found his palms braced against Jeron's motionless chest. Something blew up. The child tried to shield the body with his own. Then there were hands on him, pulling him up to his feet.


Much of the time, Cassian didn't sleep deeply. When he was on assignment and had to stay quiet because he was in danger of being located or he was sharing a room (or bed) with someone who couldn't know who he really was. Only really with Kaytoo did he sleep deeply enough to dream.

Because Cassian often fought people in his dreams. Who it was, what point in his life, varied, but the external manifestations didn't. He'd start jolting, sometimes thrashing, and yelling in a nonsense blur of languages.

Right now, he was shaking fit to loose the mattress from the frame and crying out, slurred and disjointed, for someone to get away or let him go.
