"Hey, at least you know that'll always make him trustworthy," Jyn said, finding the prospect strangely amusing. More than that, it was sweet, the way he talked about his friend. Force, but there had to be something wrong with her. Maybe the blow to her face earlier had been harder than she'd thought. "That'd be a lucky break for you, if he had a plan worked out."
"Yes," said Cassian, allowing the depth of feeling for that agreement. In a life of lies, Kay was one being with whom Cassian only exchanged the truth.
"Very lucky." Cassian again had his smile fall. "As long as he got away." He shook his head. "But I probably shouldn't talk about that in here. How about you?"
If luck really was a factor here, it wasn't something Jyn ever had much of.
She was used to that, though, and whatever brief, aching longing she might
have allowed herself, she wasn't prone to bouts of self-pity. There wasn't
time or space for that. Life for her was what it was, and she would survive
until she didn't.
"I'll improvise," she said, the tidiest way of implying that, no, there
were no friends potentially planning rescue missions. There wasn't even
anyone who would notice she was gone. "Don't have any favors to call in
that'd be big enough for something like this. I wouldn't ask it anyway."
