{From here}

Bodhi's still sitting on the grass when Galen comes out; thick, angry tears drying on his cheeks. There's a core of rage in his gut but it's impudent rage. Too much he can't control, can't fix. Too much he can't undo.

"Bodhi," Galen says, stopping for a moment once more. "I know it's hard to forgive them, even if I do. If they had beaten you, I wouldn't forgive them, either. But they are your friends from battle, and all that's left of Jedha."

[imthepilot]

"It's too early for that." He can't forgive them. Not yet.

He studies Galen's face. "We should get you back to the infirmary."

[galen_erso]

"Perhaps more sensible," Galen says. "But can you stay with me a bit longer?"

[imthepilot]

"Galen, I won't leave you. Not unless you ask me to. Or the infirmary staff ask me to leave." He says earnestly. His voice raw.

[galen_erso]

"Stay with me until I get tired and sleep, and then catch some sleep as well," Galen says. "And let's eat something. I'm sure you can make something from whatever list the infirmary staff makes I can have."

[imthepilot]

"I don't sleep very much any more but... I will. I promise." He helps Galen back to the infirmary. Myrrh jumps up on the bed, making it clear she's staying to watch over Galen.

"Then you should take up the habit again," Galen says. "Stay here with me and the cats; maybe if we all sleep, we bore you so much you'll sleep as well."

[imthepilot]

Myrrh gives Bodhi a look that says she agrees with the plan. Outvoted, Bodhi helps Galen into bed and lays down next to him, a careful arm around Galen's waist.

[galen_erso]

And even a kitten must sleep sometimes, as being a kitten is quite exhausting. Galen strokes the purring creature, the other arm around Bodhi, and falls asleep soon.

Kyber yawns and curls up against Bodhi's chest, asleep in moments.

And one can't move when a cat sleeps on you, after all.-
