Cassian makes it around the corner before he ducks into an alcove and scrubs a hand down his face. He keeps his hand over his mouth, breathing sharply through his nose as the facade of impassivity collapses around him.
He hates that this is necessary. Selfishly for himself, but also for the fact that Jyn is hardly having the time of it either. But the Rebellion comes first, so he dragged her in anyway.
He ignores that if he truly followed that logic, he wouldn't be sitting here on a renegade mission and would instead be on his way prepared to assassinate the not-so-fatherly scientist. The alcove is quiet, and Cassian gives himself a few long moments to collect himself, to rebury everything that dared to try and bubble to the surface.
Then it's back to it. He slips back into being a Captain and immediately focuses on the mission at hand, running through all the final stages of prep and avoiding Jyn as long as possible. If he doesn't think about it, he doesn't have to deal with it, and that's obviously the best way forward, especially since he'll be with her from here on out until they find Galen Erso.
When he does finally make his way back to Jyn, he finds K2 standing in the doorway. "What are you doing." His voice is flat but quiet, a subtle warning he suspects will go over the droid's head anyway.
"She is sleeping." And K2 is loud, tipped with the tiniest inflection. "Aren't we leaving soon?"
