[It's not terribly long before Jyn answers, but for Cassian, it feels like a lifetime. He is seeing to the tedious chore of paperwork, but it's easy enough to put it on hold in order to speak with Jyn and try to explain why he's done what he's done that's upset her so badly.]
I didn't recommend you for the mission to the Doran System. But I didn't do it because I don't think you're capable. I know better than most just how competent you are.
I did it because I'm selfish. The Hutts are dangerous - I know you know what they do to their captives. I know you know that the majority of them don't come back.
I can't take the risk of sending you there without going along to watch your back. I can't run the risk of losing you like that.
Call me a coward. Be angry with me all you want. I don't regret my decision. But please don't think that I believe that you're somehow less than.
idk either but gonna WING IT
