"I shouldn't have too much at once," he said, taking the bowl from her gratefully. "It's perfect." (That wasn't what she meant but it was what he decided to say.)
He sat at the round table with a built-in dejarik board and took a sip, forcing himself to go slowly. It was hardly Clem's home cooking, or indeed his own, but right then it was the most delicious thing he'd ever tasted.
For a short while, he seemed entirely occupied with eating the egg and noodles and drinking the broth. But he didn't forget Jyn's presence: the safety of her there was what allowed him to get so absorbed.
At last, he set down the bowl, face flushed with the heat of the broth and with embarrassment. "Sorry. It just hit me all at once." He stood to bring the bowl to the kitchen to wash it himself. Standing made him suddenly lightheaded, as the other post-battle (, post-dying, post-flashhealing, post-worldshifting, post-Jynfinding) phase finally hit him: abject fatigue.
