THIS. When they fly back from the Skako lab, Echo, Anakin & Crosshair are up on a ledge firing down. Echo shoots down some flying droids & a pre-Omega Crosshair, the man who never shows any voluntary signs of approval or affection whatsoever, puts his hand on Echo's shoulder and gives him a lil 'nice job' nod.

For the first month after Echo joins the batch he’s lowkey convinced Crosshair is trying to kill him. Mainly bc Crosshair follows him everywhere and glares in his general direction, pops up anywhere he is, chews on toothpicks at him, and is generally a bit overbearing. It’s only after he overhears Wrecker tease Crosshair about ‘imprinting on Echo’ that he even realizes that this man is a protective oversized cat who can’t vocalize anything but will instead trot after him to every room, sit quietly next to him, and bring him cool rocks he found as if they’re the product of a successful hunt.

Echo brings Crosshair the next pack of novelty toothpicks he finds.
