It was too kriffing cute, the way he sputtered and smiled. Jyn turned her face toward her shoulder as if to hide a smile of her own, but mostly failed. The last minutes may have been a confusing, world-altering mess, but the one thing she could say for certain — that she probably should have said out loud, but didn't trust herself not to fall apart if she did so — was that she'd missed him. Despite her best efforts not to, and then to convince herself that she didn't, she'd missed him so, so much, down to the littlest details.
"You think I know any barons?" she asked, teasingly incredulous. Difficult as everything else might have been, finding that familiar banter was too easy.
Moving away from him was not easy, but she made herself do so, standing so she could get him some water. A little distance would be good, anyway, help her get her head on straight, at least enough to deal with whatever happened next. "Right. Water, shower, food," she said. The first was easy; the bar in the common area wasn't really something she used as such, but it did mean there was water without her having to leave for the kitchen. Filling a glass, she added, "There is laundry, but I like the bonfire idea. I think those've earned it."
