Instinctively, Jyn wants to quip that he shouldn't. Under any other circumstances, she probably would have, if only because she thinks he knows that she wouldn't actually lie to him, no matter how dishonest she may have built a life out of being. She might choose her words carefully or decide she doesn't want to talk about something, but she wouldn't give him any cause not to believe her that he wouldn't have already. Of course he didn't trust her at first, considering that what he knew of her was that she was a criminal with a long list of aliases and an even longer rap sheet. Like she just told him, she wouldn't have trusted herself, if she'd been the one in his position dealing with someone like her. At least he did when it counted, when it made the most difference. At least he does now, which matters far more than anything in the past.

It isn't worth holding a grudge, not against him, not when she understands why he did what he did, and especially not with everything that's happened since. She's not sure how to say that in a way that will sink in. She's not sure how to agree with what he's said about her, though, so maybe that's just as well.

"I'm not anyone people should look up to," she says, shrugging uncertainly. "I don't know why either of you think I would be." She doubts she'll get Cassian to agree with her, though, even though he probably knows better than anyone why that should be the case. "You would tell me, though, right? If you thought it was a terrible idea?"
