Jyn is listening, but her attention is riveted to the baby, making faces and sticking her tongue out and breathing in the delicious baby scent, catching her hands and in one swift movement, lifting her own knees and rocking Sofia back to sit up with her head nestled against Jyn's knees. She doesn't seem nervous about manhandling a baby.
"I think part of you is using her as more of an excuse than you're admitting. Yes, you, ballenacita." As always, Jyn is blunt when it comes to her opinions. Since this is an opinion about Cassian as a person and not his child rearing practices, she doesn't feel bad calling him out.
"You've always been rubbish at opening up." It's not sharp, but it's pointed. She knows she's toeing a line she might not be able to leap back over but when has that stopped her? She's always pushed. "You hate having weaknesses and vulnerabilities and you don't have a level four backstory, Cass, you've got a level 312 backstory. Sofia is the perfect buffer." She wriggles the baby's arms in a way that shakes her whole body, grinning at the peal of laughter. "Can't talk, can't go out, can't open up because now you've got a baby to think of."
