[ Somewhat selfishly, Poe's glad that he did get to meet her now, versus the way it would have been before the war, when she probably would have found him to be utterly obnoxious. She might still think he's annoying under different circumstances — but then again, they probably have similar attitudes about facing things head on with action rather than trying to talk everything to death in a committee.
He can tell when someone's not used to having attention at all, let alone of the level that she's gotten herself into with what she did. So he won't dwell on it. Instead he leans back slightly, smile reemerging. ]
Would you rather I look at you like a thief?
[ As if he's seriously going to judge her for doing what she had to in order to survive. ]
[ loud, a little too loud, especially compared to her quiet before. but yes she would absolutely rather he look at her like a thief. despite her qualms with what her father sacrificed for her life and what she actually did with her life, jyn isn't ashamed of being a thief.
she has loads of other things to be ashamed of. ]
I was good. I never would have been caught for those counterfeit credits, they were perfect. They had to sell me out. [ a beat, starting to knot the fabric all over again. ] I was so good the Empire didn't even know they had Jyn Erso in custody. They thought I was called Liana Hallik.
[ cassian figured it out though and she makes a mental note to ask him how. ]
[ Poe has to laugh at her outburst, he thought she would agree but the amount of enthusiasm is unexpected. That's what she's used to, not being looked at as if she's done anything that deserves respect, which she definitely has, it's not an experience that he's gone through himself but it's easy to see how she feels about all of this. And all things considered? Yeah, being a thief isn't that bad. ]
It's a good thing you were too sharp for them. I don't think they would have just shipped you off to any old prison if they'd known who you really were.
[ Exactly what they would have done with her, he has no idea. It would have been the end of the Rebellion though, that's for sure. ]
[ she grins, however brief, thinking about it and it's as if all the years and stresses leave her with a solemn mouth and pinched expression are wiped away and she looks her age finally and young. the rebellion was built on orphaned babies. ]
It's like a puzzle, I liked getting all the details right. And then sometimes you have to do it on the fly, I could dupe flight clearance codes in five seconds flat.
