"No," he says. There's a softness in his voice, the muzziness of impending sleep. While they've been talking, it's sneaked up to Cassian. The tiredness is more encompassing than the fatigue that had dragged him into sleep before. With Jyn close by and the TV drama pouring over them, it's enough that he thinks they might be able to keep the bad dreams at bay. If not his then maybe at least Jyn's, who'd arrived on Yavin 4 looking as if she hadn't known true sleep in months and only gotten more frayed since.

Cassian's hands mimic hers and he squeezes her shoulders. It's not a possessive gesture, just one that makes the request. She doesn't have to explain herself but he knows the weight of coming sleep and how dear it is to take real rest when it comes.

"If you get up now, the cords will just get tangled," he says, providing the excuse.
