She could only mean one thing. There was only one place he'd gone (a) without her and (b) where that name had been spoken.
Which meant she also knew…
For a protracted silence, Cassian just looked at her. Behind his steady eyes, gears whirred furiously.
It was simple, really. His cover was blown. He should evacuate immediately. Take Jyn with him again to the ship where Kay waited, already knowing she had no commlink, so that by the time she could walk back to reach any communications device to report him, they'd already have taken off and jumped to hyperspace.
(…Leave her a blaster to defend herself in case anyone tried to jump her out there again. …Dear Force, even now that she must be reclassified as an adversary, he couldn't think of her as an adversary…!)
But still he sat there, blaster invisibly drawn, gazing at her face, trying to read her. And then asking an unbelievably stupid question (because how would she not simply respond with what he wanted to hear and how could he verify either way) like: "Have you turned me in?"
