#Maybe the empire isn't treating him right but I want to belive this one trooper is.

I’ve been rewatching some Bad Batch scenes for writing purposes, and now I can’t help but have soft feelings for that one clone trooper who checks on Crosshair when he’s injured near the ion engine in ep8. I mean, here he seems kind of hesitant to approch him at first:

And then when he shakes him awake he just looks very gentle and careful about it, you know?

And later on, after the clone trooper called a medic, we get this shot of injured Crosshair, where I assume the medic would be the one on the left bandaging his head (since it’s his most important injury), which would make the clone from before the one laying a hand over his knee for comfort, or possibly helping with the splint on his leg:

Which would also make him the one who’s all like “stand back down, you’re injured” when Crosshair gets up after hearing news of the Bad Batch from his troops

I also have lots of feels about the way Crosshair leans on him when he’s wincing in pain.

All that to say that this very minor character now leaves rent free in my head, and that I just want to imagine him being that kind of character who’s always trying to take care of their superior, like “Commander Crosshair, I know we just received intel on the Bad Batch’s location, but you’re injured and haven’t slept for three days, you need to rest for once, please.”
