[ The Battle of Yavin, well, that sounds double not-good, actually, so Cassian is frowning in thought at that for a moment before he catches Poe's body language and wonders just what part of what he's said has caught up with his friend.
Cassian should be more upset, he thinks, or maybe just upset in a different way. Right now, though, his mind is preoccupied with wondering what he'll tell Jyn, if she asks, if she wants to know, if she finds out on her own before he knows the answers to either of those first two questions - then it spins to Leia, and how strange it must be to have lived through all this history - and then back to Poe.
In that meantime, he has drained the glass and set it back. The hug is unexpected, but not exactly unwelcome.
For the first time in a while Cassian lets himself reciprocate it fully, hoping it's not too awkward.
He wants to ask what happened after. How long peace lasted, and what changed, who changed it, but. Maybe taking a moment isn't a terrible idea. ]
