until a bad dream, not a nightmare, jerks jyn awake. she can feel cassian's arm tighten around her like a reflex and she mutters a quiet reassurance that she's fine as she sits up, pushing her hair back from her face and neck. already the dream is slipping away but that panic that had started earlier wells up, making her chest feel painfully tight.
slipping from the bed -- easier for being on the outside for once -- she shambles to the bathroom, hoping cold water will make this weird feeling go away but it persists. running is usually how she copes with this kind of feeling, but it feels odd right now. like it'll be too much like running away. she rests her forehead against the 'fresher door but the pressure continues to build and she snaps.
yanking on her shoes, she scribbles a note and rests it on the pillow next to cassian. she knows he's in some semblance of awake, but just in case. gone for a run. back in one hour. a second reassurance is scrawled on the back and her fingers brush his arm before she turns and scampers out of the apartment. ]
