Jyn smiles, just a little, to hear that, tipping up her chin to look at him without lifting her head off his shoulder. It isn't much, but she thinks it might well be the first concrete fact she's learned about him aside from his rank and how old he was when he joined the fight, and that's worth something, making her feel a little less laid bare with all the Alliance managed to find out about her. Her aliases, her record, her father, her connection to Saw... Even without some of the finer points, it's more of herself than she's accustomed to giving away. Of course she'd been nothing but defensive and closed-off having that thrown at her.

This is different, though, truths offered willingly, slowly, in whatever fragments they can manage. She doesn't need to know more than she already does to get the sense that he keeps himself about as carefully guarded as she does. It makes it easier that way. At least he's probably not expecting her to just open up and tell him everything that wasn't in whatever dossier they compiled on her now that they have the time and the opportunity for it.

There are a few things, though, that she can still give without crossing the lines she's set for herself, like a trade of sorts, a fact for a fact. "I don't know where I was born," she admits. "I think we might've lived somewhere else for a while, but I don't remember it, and we never talked about it."
