It took only moments — faster than she could formulate a question in her head, never mind start to ask it — for Jyn to sense, or at least guess, what was happening. His heart suddenly beating harder, faster, gave it away. She knew that feeling too well not to recognize it in some capacity. Hell, some part of her had ceaselessly been there since he reentered her life. Having him here meant she could lose him, and the prospect was unbearable. Talking about a friend she'd had and lost must have brought it to the forefront for him again, making her that much more grateful that she hadn't slipped and referred to Cassian having known Lincoln before.
Right now, this wasn't about her. She held onto him in turn, as close to soothing as she could get, taking deep, steady breaths in the hopes that it might help him a little. "Yeah," she murmured. "I know."
If will and depth of feeling were enough to keep a person here, she would never have lost him in the first place. She didn't know how to say that without it somehow coming out wrong, but she hoped he knew it all the same.
