Jyn didn't believe for a moment that he wouldn't see through her. That had never really been an option with him, and she had no reason to suspect that now would be any different. Mostly, she just needed to buy herself some time. A chance to begin to make heads or tails of the dizzying surge of emotion he'd unknowingly brought with him, and to figure out what to say and how to say it. Simply not telling him wasn't an option, no matter how tempting it might have seemed. She couldn't keep a secret that big from him. But all of this was enough to take in without her adding all of that to it, and she knew too well what he'd just been through.

So, time. She gave him a nod before continuing back in the direction of the kitchen. As with the rest of her belongings, she kept the kitchen sparsely stocked, typically buying food only when and in whatever quantities she needed it. That suited her fine, given that she wasn't much of a cook. But there were a few things on hand, and after a moment of checking the cabinets, and keeping in mind what he'd said about plainer being better, she grabbed a plastic-wrapped packet of noodles, then a small pot in which she set water boiling. It wasn't much, but it was quick and easy, filling without being too rich, and that seemed like the best bet right now. Upon second thought, she also took an egg out of the refrigerator, figuring that might at least make it a little less ridiculous than just instant noodles.

Something fuzzy brushed against her ankles and she smiled. "There you are," she said, bending down to hoist the orange and white cat into her arms. "Yeah, you know there's food happening, don't you?"
