"And people think I am the stubborn one," Jyn murmurs in response to his entire confession, knowing full well he isn't apologizing because lo siento was the first thing she asked to be translated, as if she would ever apologize. She could ask for clarification, ask Poe to translate, she could pretend she doesn't know exactly what he is saying in that apologetic tone.

Instead she calls him stubborn and nods, accepting whatever he won't tell her in Basic.

He climbed twelve stories half dead and she'd seen it etched into the lines of exertion etched into his face when they had clung to each other in the lift. She already knows, even if she is too terrified to admit it or return the sentiment. Caring about people turns them into a liability and into leverage, she can't lose anyone else.

"I'll get used to you sticking around." That is a promise. "Let's go home."
