"I'm not worried about that," he answers, though it's probably unnecessary. Jyn knows him well enough by now to know he's not asking because he's thinking she won't be able to do the job when the time comes. Everything he knows of her points to exactly the opposite of that. Her entire life could be falling apart and she would still step up and do what she'd promised to do, no matter what that might be.

It's a strength he admires, but also wishes she didn't have to have. People ought to be able to stop and take time for themselves, but in times of war, he knows it isn't possible.

"Your dad?" he guesses. It's not a hard jump to make. There aren't many other things he can see as causing Jyn to have a lot on her mind right now, especially when that's the more clear and obvious change in how things in Darrow have been. Lincoln hadn't spoken to him much and hasn't seen him since the day he arrived, but he expects Jyn has.
