She grins at his soft affection, feeling warm and tremendously happy that Cassian is here with her for winter break. Bodhi claps him on the back once they reach the steps, letting Jyn lead Cassian inside before he brings up the rear, petting the dog and closing the door behind them.

The inside of the palace has a very Downton Abbey feel, fancy and modest at once, walls of honey colored wood paneling and soft carpet in delicate gold and blue medallion-like designs that run down the long halls. Hung along the hall are portraits of kings and queens of old, the odd royal dog or horse, and Jyn only takes the time to point out and name the dogs, Bodhi names the horses but it is really only Christian X's horse Jubilee, the most famous of all the royal horses.

Bodhi is in the middle of telling Cassian about Jubilee, because Jyn loves the story of their great-grandfather, when their father steps out of a room down the hall and looks around, seemingly having heard his daughter's voice.

"Papa!" Jyn releases Cassian, sorry bro, and races down the hall to leap into her father's arms. She hasn't seen him in months, okay.
