He thinks he knew what she was going to ask even before it comes out, simply because it's something he's been trying not to ask himself.

Cassian winds his free hand through Jyn's, squeezing her fingers. His other hand is still cradling her face, and he gets a look of very grim determination on her face. "They were very big fireworks. We have taught her to always look around."

It's a reminder to himself too. Their eldest is all the best and worst qualities of them both, but it makes her even stronger. She can't hear, she can't tell when she's making a noise, but she knows the safe places to go. She wouldn't have strayed too far and left her mother alone.

"If she did not go to the silo, she cannot have gone far." He pulls up Jyn's hand and kisses her knuckles, closing his eyes and leaving his lips against her skin to collect himself. It's a very risky promise and he knows that, but he also knows their children. It's a plan they've gone over a million times. Espi may be stubborn and defiant, but she isn't stupid. He's confident in this promise, because the alternative is unthinkable.
