The message seemed to come across loud and clear, and even though Cassian returned the smile, his approach was still careful and cautious as though he was still a little unsure - of himself, of her, of everything.
Jyn settled her hand near Cassian's, just close enough for fingertips to touch, but allowing them both their own personal space in case that was too much, in case she inadvertently overloaded his senses.
Then he asked his question, and her smile faded until it was little more than a thin line as she thought through her answer. "I don't know, Cassian. I ... don't think that my skills translate well to law-abiding citizen."
She sighed then, dropped her gaze, pretended that the near-threadbare comforter was the most interesting feature of the room. "I've never given it any thought. I ... always assumed I'd be long-dead before this day."
