She knows exactly how to help him, how to get through to him; she knows what makes him tick, what helps and what he likes. She truly is his partner, in every sense of the word.
"Yes." He's going to have to lather lotion on his hands later, but it seems a small price to pay. Rey in the bath is, usually, one of the best things about being a parent. "Can we do it together? As a family?"
He just... wants to be with them both for a little while longer, before he showers, before the daily tasks resume. He knows the routine will help, but right now the idea of parting from either of them is too much.
Honestly it is such an easy ask that Jyn isn't going to deny him some simple, normal fun with their cheerful water baby. She leans over to tickle under Rey's chin, drawing a bleated giggle before she looks up at her mama.
"Do you want to have a bath, starshine?" Rey bleats again, more excitedm recognizing the word now that it's directed at her. Satisfied with her answer, Jyn stretches up to turn on the tab and start filling up the tub while Rey squawks and bounces in happy anticipation in Cassian's arms.
It would have been mean to use the tub as her playpen and not give her a bath.
She starts to excitedly bounce in his arms, and Cassian starts to feel settled. His smile deepens more.
"Do not take a flying leap with your clothes on, you silly star."
The baby's got the wriggles, but he honestly appreciate the effort it takes to finagle all her clothes off while she refuses to stop bouncing. Jyn helps, Jyn laughs, Rey laughs, and the sounds of it begin to chase out the trauma. When the water is warm and full enough, he plops Rey inside the tub to her very eager delight, and the three of them together make a mess of bathtime. Their daughter soaks them, but she gets clean, and if she gets to play in the water a little longer than normal, Cassian can't say he minds.
No matter what he does, he can and will still love them, just like they love him.
