He looks so utterly delighted by her admission, by how quickly and earnestly she gets it out in the rush before their son needs to breathe. He worries sometimes about how he handles parenthood, but Jyn is always there to kick the reminders that he's doing fine.
He doesn't get the chance to respond, but he does give her a very knowing sort of smirk.
Mateo, oblivious, just cheers at his new five minute record and squeezes his papa's hand. "Five minutes!" He is so pleased with himself, even as his mother's suggestion sinks in and he makes a thinky scrunchy face. "Do you really think it could be longer?"
"Much longer," Cassian agrees.
Mateo frowns with how much he's thinking about it. "Maybe," he says. "But I just wanna keep playing right now." He takes a deep breath, ready to go back under all over again. "Count again mama!"
And pop! Splash! There he goes again, under the water. Did he actually want to try again, or is this a very Erso means of avoiding the question? It's a mystery.
Cassian looks back at his future wife. "We can always do something about that later, after they are both asleep."
"Oh, we're gonna bang," Jyn agrees, not caring in the slightest that Luna is still awake in her arms. She can't even be assed to say 'mama' at Jyn's prompting, she's not going to repeat any of the swears that come out of her mother's mouth. As it is, she just whines again in Jyn's arms, stretching her hand toward the water like she wants to grab her brother.
It's the beach house, Jyn's decided, it always makes her want to throw down with Cassian in bed. The salt air or something. She's tired and worn out and socially exhausted, but she always wants to make out with her boyfriend.
Okay, maybe they should get married because they're too old to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Mateo splutters to the surface again, whipping his hair out of his face and Jyn feels Luna relax in her arms, hand falling back against Jyn's arm, answering her son's question before he can ask. "Six minutes! Maybe we should take a break from the diving for now, I think it is making Luna nervous."
Jyn is virtually always ready to throw down, but the beach house exacerbates it. Not that Cassian is complaining, obviously. There's something about the ocean air that pulls him in, or maybe it's just the reminder of when they decided to start this new family together.
"Oh I know," he agrees. "We always do."
Mateo looks at his sister worriedly, and as though he's still remembering her very hard bop on the head, it's only reluctantly that he moves closer, just enough that she can reach out and pap him much more gently on the arm. "I guess we can go back to the sand. Isn't it Luna's nap time soon?"
He honestly doesn't have that much awareness of it. He just wants that block of time to have this parents' sole attention, and after his sister's Brutal Beating, he clearly deserves it. He will sacrifice swimming for it!!
Cassian looks at Jyn with a grin, because he knows exactly Mateo's ulterior motives here. The only reason he asks his next question is because he wants to see how pressed his son gets by the mere concept. "It might be. Do you want to join her for a nap too?"
"I'm sure Abuelito will rub you back until you fall asleep," Jyn adds, expression placid. She knows Cassian's father absolutely will -- he has, in fact, rubbed Jyn's back until she fell asleep when she was pregnant with Luna and laid up with the flu -- but it's so easy to rile up Mateo...
They're butthead parents.
Mateo bristles, straightening up to his full height, and Jyn watches his little hands ball into tiny fists. She used to not have a poker face, but that changed real quick.
He bites back a grin. They really shouldn't get so amused at riling up their son, and yet here they are. It reminds him honestly of when he tries to get a reaction out of Jyn, but he's never told her so.
"Your mother naps, and she is definitely not a baby. I seem to recall the both of you enjoying the occasional nap together with very many a blanket."
Mateo is essentially her clone.
He huffs, stomping his foot in the sand, which doesn't have much of an effect since it's under the water. "I don't wanna nap now! It's Luna's nap time! I wanna finish my octopus."
