As if Jyn wasn't already overwhelmed by the enormity of it all - what they were doing, what they felt for each other, what this all meant for their present, their future ...
Her vision returned just in time for her to watch as Cassian tumbled from his edge, and seeing him so unguarded, so free, and she knew that she had never seen a lovelier sight - that she wanted to see it all the more often, that she wanted this, and him, for as long as she was able to have it.
So, she clutched at him a little tighter, and held him a little closer as she rode out each and every burst of fireworks as they exploded along the length of her spine and engulfed her body completely.
For a long moment, Jyn couldn't answer, her chest heaving erratically as she fought for breath, but she could enjoy the close proximity, how Cassian hadn't pulled out and left her bereft yet, that he was still there, still checking on her, still making sure that all was well.
For a long moment, Jyn tried to reassure herself that she wasn't going to cry, but the rawness of her throat and the hot tears prickling behind her eyelids were impossible to ignore. With a short nod of acknowledgement, her voice low and hoarse when she murmured 'yeah' in response.
