“I’m sure you can hold your own better than you think.”
Cassian paused, clearly chewing over some lingering thought. The question of whether or not he’d ever invite her to officially join the Rebellion had always been the elephant in the room between them. But the days and months passed and he still hadn’t tried to recruit her. Occasionally one of his superiors floated the idea — we could use someone with Companionship training, captain — but he put his foot down on that particular option. No getting Inara Serra more entangled and imperiled than she already was, with her own existing connections.
But still. The day would probably come when someone wouldn’t be asking, they’d be telling him to recruit her, and he wasn’t sure what he’d do when that happened.
“If…” He tried to decide how to phrase this. “If I come across any compatible names, I could pass them along, if that’d be helpful. What are you after? Client-wise.”

No one Imperial, went without saying.
