"Yes, please, I want to finish up some work first too - and I am a mess from so much polishing today." He wants to gather up what he needs, linger for a little while so it doesn't seem like he's in a rush, especially after meeting with a client. "I might be a little late."

She will definitely get to the safehouse first, don't worry if it takes some time for him to arrive. He's going to take a very long route, he might even pop back in quick after a half hour walk, just so his coworkers can argue he came back from lunch. At least the time before Jyn calls will let him formulate his best plan forward.

He wants to say all kinds of things to Javi and Jyn both, but it'll have to wait. And it can because Cassian keeps running on a mantra that they're going to be fine. He warned Jyn, that's the important part. She's the red flag and she is escaping first. It doesn't mean what she's asking him to say to Rey doesn't carry a lot of weight after decades of war.

"I will," he says, with a very quiet solemnity. There is no universe where Jyn doesn't get to tell Rey she loves her, but it doesn't mean he isn't going to remind their daughter anyway. "I love you. I am starving, you are a life saver."

He loves her. She is his life and he doesn't want another without her.
