Jyn's eyebrows knit together as she strides back into the kitchen, pulling on a long sleeve shift over her borrowed tee shirt. "She's not a recruit, is she? She's practically a child still."

It's either tremendously sad or ironically funny that the protest comes from Jyn, one of the two actual child soldiers in the room and the one closest in age to Rey, even if the girl is taller than her. Jyn was eight when she started fighting with Saw, Cassian was six -- oh! she remembers that! -- neither of them had actually have much of a childhood.

But maybe that is why the idea of Rey being in their fight, still ignorant that it's a different one decades later, sits so uncomfortably with her.
