There are a number of glances, mouth slanted down in not quite irritation, but she is content to walk in their companionable silence, not finding any reason to spoil the quiet between them, even once Cassian's paused in front of the house.

Jyn always has to look up to him, it's just how her diminutive height works and she is very used to it after all this time. (All this time being... roughly two months? It feels like so much longer, they'd been through so much, lost so much, how could it have only happened in such a short span of time?)

She's not used to that distance closing in any scenario that isn't Jyn hugging him on her tip toes and even then she's mostly holding herself up. Cassian is ducking to meet her now and her chin tips up automatically.

There's something tentative, gentle, about the way he kisses her and Jyn wants to reassure him, but any resolve to promise she's never been surer of anything in her life crumples beneath the lingering fear that she will lose him the way she's lost everything else she's ever cared about. Even still, she breathes in the taste of him, exhaling slowly as she takes a step back, eyes opening to settle on his expression, studying him.
