As nightfall was upon Cassian and Jyn quickly, Cassain sighed and laid back on the hard but comfortable bed, aware of his companion watching him. She offered a slight smile and he returned it, shifting his gaze up to the ceiling and putting his hands behind his head.

Cassian felt the same temptation tug at him from earlier to keep Jyn's protection and comfort above anything else, even though she would complain about not needing his help he would still do it, until his final breath. Averting his eyes back to Jyn he could see her begin to water up as she looked at the wall, her hands rested in her lap.
By the expression on her face she was missing them, dearly, and he did too, but it pained him to see her upset.

"The odds are 2 out of 100 that they made it out alive.. " Jyn spoke softly, her voice  cracking as she mimicked their long lost beloved Kaytoo. Cassian groaned into his trembling hands as she slid over to him, bitting her lip. "The grief is to overwhelming." The captain said to the women as she pried his hands form his face.

"Look at me, Cassian. Please. They are in a better place now, free from the war." Jyn mumbled and reached to her neck for her kyber crystal, yet to her surprise, it was not there. Widening eyes, Jyn looked around the room and patted at sheets.
"It's gone." She said, her face paling.
"What is?"
"The kyber crystal my mother gave to me!"
Cassian straightened up, and reached for Jyn, a confusing look flashed on her face as she watched him gently grab the necklace to his view from clothing and hair and saw the ripped off missing part on her accessory. Ripped off. Not fallen. The cause was obvious to him.

"It must of fallen off during the mission.." Jyn said, a bit dazed at loosing her most prized possession. "No It didn't," Cassian replied, shaking his head he dropped the necklace carefully on her neck. "It seems to look as if it got ripped off, because there are very small remains of it." He finished his case.
"Maybe they took it off because it was in the way of healing me?" She said and he just shrugged.

"Can I hug you?" Cassian asked out of the blue after time rushed by the two in incredible speed. Taken back by the offer she gave him a actual smile and shrugged. "Can you? I mean, there's only one person in this galaxy I would let hug me." She said with a mock of seriousness and Cassian rolled with it.

"Do I know this person?" He asked as she nodded. "Much better then I do but I hope to know more in the future." She replied.
"What do they look like?" Cassian asked, secretly itching for it to be him.
Jyn smiled, tapped at her chin and averted her eyes up, looking thoughtful. "He has brunette hair, is very tall, has a very attractive accent and.... has the most warm brown eyes I've seen, they remind me of the sunsets on the dusty planets I've been too." Her emerald eyes sparkled in the dim light as she spoke gracefully, picking out the perfections and flaws that made the man, him.

"Where is he?" Cassian asked lightly, a soft smile crept around his mouth.
Jyn also gave a soft smile and closed her eyes for a long moment.
"At the rebellion base. Right infront of me. "
Cassian gushed, a rush of emotions crashed at him as he leaned closer and embraced her. His hands snaked around her waist as he tugged at her, pulling her closer into her arms. She easily accepted the embrace, turned around and pressed her back to his chest.  With a smile as she cupped the captain's hands with hers and leaned back into his bulky chest, a moment of peace and comfort softly slid by them. Turning around to face him she wrapped her arms around his waist and dug her head into his chest as he lifted his chin into her head.
