As much as Jyn would like to push, she knows she's not likely to get any more than that from him. It's enough, at least for now. It has to be. Besides, it's probably fair that this loophole comes with an inherent compromise. She doesn't think he should put that much faith in her; he doesn't agree with her belief that he's a good man. They both have to make a concession of sorts here. Reluctant as she may be, she'll accept that trust, far more than she deserves, if it means he'll at least try to take her at her word.

Her own smile in response is a little sad, a little reluctant, though she doesn't know if that's specifically to do with what he's said or the weight of this conversation hanging over her. None of this is anything she really intended to revisit. Jyn isn't entirely sure what that says about her, but given the circumstances, there's probably no sense in trying to say that. Chances are, he would just tell her that he didn't bring it up, either, which is true enough, even if she's more inclined to let him off the hook than herself.

"If you knew I'd find one, you shouldn't have given me such an obvious one," she says, making a face in turn. It's a little halfhearted, but at least she's trying to get out of her own head. "You don't have to agree with me. Just... maybe trust that I'm not wrong. That I feel the way I do for a reason."
