[ give her twenty minutes and she'll figure out a reason for punching eliot that doesn't sound childish, but it does come from a childish place. he left her with saw, going off to do his own thing, living his adult life, a teenage girl was probably not on his agenda. a year later saw had left her too and five years later jyn is an adult in her own right and still angry at being left behind.
(even though had eliot actually taken jyn with him, saw absolutely would have killed eliot. saw only trusted himself to look after jyn.) ]
Your face irritates me.
[ shouldn't have helped her practice sparring all those years ago. ]
[While younger Eliot might have taken her, gone off to do things that needed doing for the Rebellion, older Eliot knows better. He knows that the places that he went and the things that he did and the blood that sits on his hands is not what he would have wanted for anyone else.
Maybe it should have been Jyn's choice, but Eliot Spencer would rather spare her and have her angry, than have her see him at his worst. And he didn't think Saw would ever leave her behind.
He is, however, currently regretting teaching her to punch so well.]
Can't change that.
[Whether he's referring to his face or the past, both are likely accurate.]
There's the technology, [ she points out pettily. while fully aware she is being a stroppy, childish cow, jyn continues to be a stroppy, childish cow. he could change his stupid, irritating face but he would still be eliot and so jyn would still be mad. ]
Why are you here?
[ he'd left her! he had no right to come back for her. what was the point when he had abandoned her in the first place? ]

[Translation: Mon Mothma didn't think Andor could handle her and asked Eliot to back him up. That being said, he leans back against the wall.]
And Saw was being his usual cryptic self on the phone so I figured I would check in in person, just in case.
