"Flattered," she assures him, pulling on the hand holding his to drag him closer until she can curl her arm around his waist. They're gonna snuggle the fuck out of this bed until he has to leave. So hopefully through the majority of her nap.
She'll fight anyone who comes in to interrupt them.
His stomach rolls over when she tugs him in, and it takes him a second, but he drops his arm around her waist too. Jyn naps all the time, and they've fallen asleep outside in the grass side by side before, but never wound up together like this.
He feels pretty okay with it; the longer he's curled in, the more his nerves settle. "So I don't have to be worried?"
"Only that my Papa won't shut up when he meets you." She maybe won't introduce him as the boyfriend immediately, but only because Galen might actually parent and decide Jyn isn't allowed in Cassian's room or vice versa.
Once his arm is settled securely around her she scoots forward even more, tucking her head under his chin, breath warm against his shirt.
"And Dad might send hippos to stalk you because I'm his favorite child." She decided that for him, she is now Poseidon's favorite child.
"I was already prepared to be faced with a lot of science." It should be a different feeling, meeting her dad as just friends vs... whatever they are now, but Jyn doesn't seem to worried, so honestly Cassian isn't either.
He almost suggests Athena might do something similar, maybe with owls, but that would imply his mother actually acknowledge he exists.
"Hippos in the Sound might be cause for concern," is what he says lightly instead, smiling as she tucks herself in. He tightens his arm more snugly, content and comfortable despite any lingering nerves. "Your shark friends are better."
A laugh rumbles past her lips. Cassian may think her shark friends are better, but right now he is winning in the comparison against her shark plushies.
(Will Poseidon and Galen start sending her Cassian plushies???)
"Gerald will be so happy to know he is better than a hippo," she tells him, voice sounding sleepier. Sadly, because she can't read minds and because she's too worn out to really think about what she's saying, she asks softly: "Do you think your father would have liked me?"
Not Athena, because fuck Athena, but his actual father, the one that had raised him until K2 had found him and brought him here. His actual decent parent, not the garbage of his mother.
(Do Cassian plushies even exist?? She may be out of luck.)
At the sound of how tired she is, Cassian knows that at some point she is going to fall asleep literally in his arms, and the thought gives him butterflies.
The fluttering slows when she lets her question slip out. Not because she's gone and ruined the moment so much as talking about his parents isn't conducive to warm Jyn related feelings.
He smiles a little. "I do think so, yes. I like you. That would probably have been enough for him."
He's spent more years without his father than he did with at this point, but he always remembers being warm and loved.
"You like me," Jyn repeats, sounding satisfied with his answer. Mr D might not like her that much because Jyn is a terrible, reckless little teenager, but Cassian likes her and his father would have liked her and Cassian likes Gerald so everything is perfect.
She is warm and safe and dry and she doesn't ask any more questions because she falls asleep. It's the second time she's been unconscious in his arms today alone but at least she hasn't passed out this time.

She's sure Cassian will wake her for dinner.
