Robert leaned in with an eager grin. "So? What'd he say? Some secret mission or what?" The others perked up, eyes fixed on Cassian.
Cassian chuckled, shaking his head. "Relax. He just wanted news about his wife - she works with Lady Katherine in the labs."
The team's shoulders slumped slightly. Seeing their disappointment, Cassian rolled his eyes but relented: "Though he did tell me which neighboring force we're being sent to support."
Their faces immediately lit up at his words. "Really? Where?" Theon pressed, leaning forward.
Cassian couldn't help but grin as he slowly looked at each eager face. He let the anticipation build just a moment longer before delivering the punchline: "Wouldn't you like to know?"
Theron groaned, throwing his hands up. "Oh, come on!"
Althea crossed her arms, unimpressed. "You're enjoying this too much."
Wanni, the team mage, sighed and rubbed her temples. "Just tell us before Robert explodes from curiosity."
