Cassian feels better being in the supposed bad part of town. It's far easier to blend, and he isn't afraid of being mugged or attacked. It might happen for sure, but he knows he's capable of fending it off.
Besides, apparently Jyn is a friendly face. He blinks at the little boy, the only sign he's confused, but the affection Jyn has for him is clear. She likes kids. Another note to add to his mental file.
He plays along. "He might have a little ways to go, just until he's taller than you," he says, because he decides going right for the height jugular is a Great Idea. It seems to amuse Soren at least who giggles gleefully. "But he certainly looks quite grown up so far."
Having grown up with Leia, Cassian is not too terrible with children like he might have been otherwise. He still feels a little awkward, mostly because his own childhood was such a hodgepodge of Rebellion versus Politics, but it's much easier to fake. He just pretends kids are Leia, and it makes it easier, even though she was quite opposite the regular little girl.
"It is anatomically impossible for a human child to grow over one foot in one night." There he is, K2 the killjoy. "This is clearly still an adolescent. Jyn Erso, do need glasses?"
