Jyn was expecting a diplomatic and entirely practiced answer - surely it was a question that it was anticipated that she would ask at some point.
So, the first portion of his answer was not surprising in the least. She knew that his marrying her was definitely a step in the right direction when it came to furthering his career. She knew that a match between them would forge a relationship between the Admiral and Krennic -
But she wasn't expecting the raw honesty that was to follow. She hadn't anticipated the way that the answer pulled at her heart and stole some of her breath. "You don't even know me."
Surely, he was aware of her reputation, even if he couldn't know how well-founded those rumors were. But he didn't know her, not even a little, not at all.
