Jyn wasn't a heavy sleeper. At first, the little noises from beyond the door weren't bothersome at all - Joreth had informed her, after all, that he tended to listen to things in order to help him sleep.
But after a while, the noises were too much to ignore - not that Jyn was so callous to ignore someone when they were clearly in pain - and what she heard from the living quarters were desperate and terrified.
She slipped out of bed and pulled her thin robe on, careful as she tiptoed from the bedroom and out toward the couch. Her heart sank as in the dim light, she watched Joreth so tormented by whatever dreams he was having. What was she supposed to do in a situation like this? Was she supposed to let it pass on its own, was she supposed to try to wake him? What would leave him in the least amount of distress?
She couldn't stand to do nothing while he was clearly in pain. Carefully, cautiously, she crept closer, her voice as even as she could make it while she spoke to him in the hopes that it would get through whatever was wreaking havoc in his mind.
"Joreth, it's Jyn - you're having a nightmare", she started, her voice slowly raising in volume the closer she crept. She wouldn't sit next to him, not knowing how he would react to being touched, violently or otherwise. "But I'm here and I want to help you wake up. I'm afraid you might hurt yourself if you don't. If you can hear me, say something. Come on, wake up, you have to wake up. Wake up!"
hahaha who needs a heart anyway
