Called? The fuck? Out? It really shouldn't surprise him, because Jyn was always like that. She always saw right through him. It's been years, they've been talking for maybe an hour at most, and she already does it again.
There are a lot of things he really should unpack when it comes to Sofia and her mom and literally everything, but he doesn't want to dump it all on Jyn immediately. Even if she is absolutely wonderful with Sofia, what the fuck? He knows his daughter is very easy to entertain, but Jyn is so easy with her that it kind of pinches at his heart.
"Maybe," he admits, biting back a sigh. He should not keep talking because it doesn't feel fair when they haven't spoken in years, but Jyn pokes and prods and she wouldn't if she wasn't trying to get him to spill something. "It isn't anyone's business what happened between me and her mother. She is not going to be involved. If I go out, what else is there to talk about besides my daughter?" Sofia is basically his life now. Is he using that as an excuse??? mAYBE!!!!! "I work, I sleep, I take care of her." He feels boring. "I don't need to open up. You of all people should not be telling me to."
He doesn't say it meanly, but it is definitely a counterattack on her own inability to be open.
