Nothing too untoward. Perhaps some flirtation that Jyn had no intention of acting on. She could say without a shadow of a doubt that there was no one at Carbon Ridge who she was the least bit interested in. Hard to be, when one was doubting everyone's intentions.

She didn't know Gabrael, that much was true enough, but for some reason, she didn't distrust him. He hadn't tried anything with her, after all, and he had had every opportunity after she'd given him his rifle.

Maybe she was going soft, but ...

Jyn should have been expecting the question, but it still caught her off guard, even though it didn't show in her expression. Still, it took a moment of thought - a long moment of thought before she was able to offer an answer.

Did she want to leave the only life she had ever known? What would she do if she did? Where would she go? Whatever it was had to be better than continuing to perpetuate what she was beginning to believe was ... decidedly not the good that the higher ups kept telling them that it was.

They had stolen her childhood after the tragic death of her mother, and as it stood, she had no relationship with her father, and what did she have to show for any of the work she had done? She was stuck on this dustball in the middle of nowhere because she had dared ask the wrong people the wrong questions ...

Jyn didn't know Gabrael. But in the moment, she decided that she had to take the risk. It had to be better than staying here forever.

"... Yes."
