He misses Rey immediately once Jyn takes her from his arm, even tilting himself with her like he wants to take her right back. He knows why Jyn pulls her away, can't even blame her. Stranger danger. Only the woman is not a stranger to him at all, and he suddenly feels anxious.
"Hello, Taia." He says her name for Jyn's benefit, just so she knows there's no immediate threat. He's clearly familiar with her.
Taia smiles, friendly without being flirty; she looks over to nod at Jyn too, stealing a glance at the baby, before turning back to Cassian. "And here I thought you were never coming back to Coruscant."
Cassian huffs a little. "Life had other plans. You know how it goes."
"Good to see you're still vague as hell." She looks back at Jyn and rolls her eyes at Cassian's expense.
