Jyn is more casually than purposefully tactile - not that he minds how she's touching him, because he always appreciates it. But right now it feels entirely mindful of him, like she's trying to keep contact and keep giving him any and all affection and he savors it. It might have made him feel weak a year ago, but he doesn't care anymore. He just loves her.
He moves around with her while she tugs off her shoes and starts to shimmy with her pants, the shifts natural and without thought even as he keeps his head on her shoulder.
But he stills when she talks about how much everyone else loves him too. It's not like he didn't already know on some level, not with how they have come to exist as a team and a family, and Cassian knows he would kill for every single one of them, which is a terrible and terribly sad bar for love, but it's what got him here in the first place. He's just not used to it. None of them were, really, which probably makes their connection all the more meaningful.
He wraps his arms around her waist, which is probably counterproductive to her getting her pants off and is also vaguely uncomfortable because his face is still buried against her. But he needs it for a moment, to let the complete realization of how much he's cared for take hold.
It's a strange and wonderful feeling to be loved, one he doesn't want to escape, but one that makes his job much more difficult than it's ever been before.
"I programmed him that way," he says half in jest, because it's overwhelming to address the rest yet, but it's also a good sign that he can make a stupid joke. Softer, because he loves them all very much too: "I know. I do know. I think - I think that is what makes it all so hard. You are all my family. I have never had that before."
