She knew that that's what Cassian was doing - trading a fact for a fact, storing it away for later use if at all necessary, whether or not the imagined situations and scenarios ever came to pass. She appreciated his opening up to her, even about seemingly small things. A little bit of trust went a long way.
There had been a time that Jyn might have stuffed herself to the point of bursting if only because she didn't know where or when her next meal might come. But she felt comfortable and warm and content enough to trust that the leftovers would still be there when she wanted them again.
But perhaps more importantly was having the chance to see Cassian as loose and relaxed as she'd ever had the chance before. She was still sure that more important matter at hand was still in the forefront of his thoughts, Jyn was glad that she'd been able to grant Cassian even just a moment to get out of his head.
The room was quiet once the food was stored and Cassian turned to face her again, and Jyn didn't know how to say that yes, it was okay if he rejoined her on the bed, that yes, she wanted to be near him, yes, she wanted him right back where he belonged.
So, she didn't say anything, and she hoped that her open, honest expression said enough.
