Jyn was no strangers to nightmares. More often than not, she woke up a panting, sweating mess after having found herself back on Lah'mu, Jedha, Scarif, any number of other places that she had borne witness to or been part of terrible, terrible things.
But lying tangled up with Cassian, she found the type of rest that she never thought possible - blessedly free from nightmares. She woke suddenly, pulled from her dreamless sleep by a blood-chilling scream, almost tossed from the little bed by Cassian's wildly flailing arms and legs.
Still, she held her ground as she tried to wake him from whatever hellscape he was trapped inside. She couldn't hold him down - he'd fight back. She couldn't be gentle, either, othewise he'd never hear her.
"Cassian!", she sharply cried, shaking him with force. Not too roughly, not to hurt him, but to jolt him out of sleep and back with her. "Wake up! Whatever you're seeing, it's not real. I'm here, wake up, wake up, wake up!"
