"Definitely not a bad thing around here," he agrees, his relief immediate and clear at having some sort of normal conversation to grasp onto. He realizes he's not sure what 'all right' means to her, and he feels a sharp pang of guilt that he hasn't ever really made an effort to get to know her, to check on her. The last time they'd met had been... not disastrously awkward, but difficult, he suspects more for her than for him. But he could've made a point of trying to follow up, at least. To make their acquaintanceship something more than just... happening across each other at odd and dire moments in their lives.

Better late than never, he supposes.

"It's... about the same for me, as well," he hazards. "Let's see, erm... been keeping busy with work, mostly. I moved in with my—my boyfriend." That was before they last met, of course, but it's not like he was in any position to bring it up then. Really, Jyn doesn't even know he has a boyfriend, so it feels a bit silly to even say it like it's news either way.

"I was... just having a rough time today," he admits. "A friend of mine was sent back, and... well. He died horribly, where he's from, so that's really all there is to it. He was important to me, and... he and John, my partner, they... had some complicated history, I suppose? So I... I just wanted to be alone, not bother John with it. Which... worked out great for me."

He tries to laugh, but it comes out a bit sour, his smile more of a grimace.
