Jyn smiles just a little, his apparent awkwardness somehow making her feel a bit more at ease. She's not good at things like this — at having or making friends — but her lack of social skills aren't as likely to run her off with someone who at least also seems to be self-conscious about the whole thing. He's right, though. All of their past meetings, if she includes the incident with the Christmas tree, have been under less than ideal circumstances. She might not have thought too much of the fact of that, but his kindness has meant a lot to her. It isn't strictly why she stepped in back at the bar, but it was certainly a contributing factor; although she couldn't have sat back and let that happen to anyone, she really didn't want to see someone hurt who'd helped her before, when he had no particular obligation to do so.

If it were just about repaying a debt, though, then she would have moved on rather than continuing on with him. At the very least, there isn't anything to lose from meeting up under more deliberate, less traumatic circumstances. Given what they've respectively had to deal with these last couple of times they've crossed paths, it wouldn't be difficult to have a better time of things.

"Yeah," she agrees, huffing out a mostly mirthless laugh of her own, though her expression is genuine enough. "A drink on purpose sounds good. Somewhere not where we were earlier."
