The fact that she falls asleep virtually immediately tells him enough about how tired Jyn is. He lets her sleep there, even if his limbs start to feel stiff from the both of them using him for a pillow. He doesn't fall asleep himself, but he closes his eyes, maybe dozes, and he's very alert even in the pseudo-nap.

When Rey starts snuffling, Cassian's focus darts down to her face. He meets her eyes and smiles brightly. She's probably hungry but - she headbutts him and he melts, tracing small circles on her tiny back. He was terrified of holding her wrong when she was first born, but he's gotten used to it now.

"Hello, little star." She coos again at the sound of his voice and he ducks his head to press his lips to her forehead. He keeps his voice low, enough for Rey to hear but hopefully quiet enough to avoid disturbing Jyn. "Did you have a good nap? I bet you are looking for food, but how about we wait just a little longer? Your mama is very tired, and she deserves a rest."

Rey processes approximately none of this, but she does make another happy sound because her father is talking at her, curling her small hands into fists. Cassian moves slowly, carefully to again avoid waking Jyn, shifting Rey around in his arms to cradle her head so she can look at his face without it falling over. "Can you smile for me?" He slides his finger gently over her cheek and she gurgles gleefully, tiny mouth smiling. "Very good!"
