It would be foolish to assume that he felt the same sense of loneliness that she did - that he needed the comfort of simple contact like she did, that he had gotten something out of sharing his arm with her as they'd walked back from dinner, even though she knew, logically speaking, that it had mostly been a performative gesture done for the benefit of the pairs of eyes that had surely been watching.
It felt hopeful that they had reached an understanding - and it had been more than she had allowed herself to expect. So at least she felt like she could breathe a little bit and at least most of the smiles she had shared had not been just for show.
She wasn't sure what Joreth was thanking her for, but instead of making a self-deprecating joke or even incredulously asking why, Jyn just nodded and murmured the same. It had been a long day, and she was sure that she was not the only one that needed some rest.
"Sleep well", she offered as she took another step away. Who knew what the next day was going to bring, after all?
