Startling happens, but in Cassian's defense that was always a lost cause. Bodhi is a hairsbreadth from startled every moment he's awake. His name makes him jump, and when he turns and sees Cassian he does it again, more shallowly but still pretty distinctly. On his side, he wouldn't dare use the word friend. It'd be presumptuous. And skipping over some distinctly complicated feelings. Maybe he's just not enough of a soldier.

But that doesn't keep him from being glad. He may not be able to see the Captain as much more than an intimidating stranger that he owes a lot, but he's here and alive and to all appearances reasonably well, and he's unabashedly happy about that. Bodhi Rook has never successfully concealed a feeling in his life, and while his smile is nervous, it's real. "I--Cassian?"
