[ Tobias has seen this guy around, too, and of course he and Ax and Marco had gone over everyone else in the place, discussed who they are, what they know about them, how much of a threat they might be. Was that weird? Probably. But it's what feels natural to them, after so many years fighting their secret, desperate guerilla war.
So he knows at least that this is a man named Cassian, knows Marco's opinion of him. But Tobias also knows Marco well enough that he feels like he should probably form his own opinion, separately. And right away, the fact that he talks to Tobias without any nervousness or hesitation is a good sign. Clearly he's observant, and willing to roll with the punches - even if those punches include talking hawks. ]
<Not sure. Have you seen any girls go by here? Long blond hair?>
[ The words are not spoken; Tobias communicates almost entirely in thought-speak these days, sometimes even when he is in human morph. But the voice in Cassian's head probably sounds like a young man's - quiet and a little uneasy. ]
