He doesn't respond to her verbally, but he does start walking, and this time he doesn't pull her by the arm. He feels too aware of doing so now, thanks to his casual cookie grabbing. The fact that he knows she's going to follow him doesn't help.
But the town is bustling and bursting and it isn't long before it comes to a head. Explosions! Bodies! Shooting one of Saw's guerrillas to save Jyn! It's all fun and games until they get bound and gagged and taken to Saw's base in the complete opposite way he'd intended.
Jyn is taken to saw, and Cassian is left with the Guardians of the Whills. He finds the pilot! But then the planet seems to get caught in a permanent earthquake. Saw's rebels disappear and the four of them break out of their jail cells. Cassian rearms himself and he should leave, but he can't. Before any of the other men can say a word, Cassian races off to find Jyn, unable to leave her.
He finds her with Saw and keeps his blaster raised. Cassian locks eyes with the older man and feels a burst of unexpected anger, suddenly remembering the way Jyn had been found, covered in blood and alone and traumatized and - she looks in a right state now too, staring into the empty space above a hologram.
"Jyn." There is a quiet plea in the way he says her name, despite how he tries to make it come across as something more stern. He looks back and forth between her and Saw, and he knows he would not hesitate to fight the man for Jyn's sake - which is a scary thought. The adrenaline allows him to shove off all the thought analysis for now. "We need to go."
