After a pair of matched facts that were so heavy, the joke and its levity were a welcome change of pace. Jyn didn't try to hide her smile, or the soft fondness in her eyes that no one but him had ever brought out of her so effectively. If it weren't for everything else — how absurdly complicated this all was, how utterly draining the day had been — she thought it might well have been a romantic moment, trading deep personal truths and jokes while holding hands by the fire. She couldn't let herself go down that road, though. Just this was enough, and so much more than she ever thought she would get to have again.
"I can see why that's his favorite," she said, laughing quietly. "It's a good one." She wished she had a joke she could offer him in turn, but she couldn't think of any. "Does that count as a fact? Is it my turn or yours?"
Rules or lack thereof be damned, she wanted to hear whatever he saw fit to tell her.
