It is Jyn's every intention to ignore the knocking on her door, just as she's been doing all day, but the way Cassian says her name is so affectionate, so concerned, that she forces herself out of bed and slumps against the door.
"I'm fine, Cassian. Whatever Bodhi told you is an exaggeration."
"Jyn, please." and that's all he has to say, that's all it takes for her to let him in.
She retreats to the bed before he can really assess her. He follows without turning on the light, which is good because she'd probably vomit if he did. Her head is pounding as she lays it against her pillow and she bites back a groan. Cassian curls up beside her, his usual warmth paling in comparison to her burning skin.
"I went to the medbay." she says with a breathy little laugh, "I'm not dying."
"No, but you didn't accept the medication they suggested."
"We're in the middle of a supply shortage. I'm not worth it."
It's a poor choice of words, she knows before she's finished, because his entire body tenses up in preparation to argue, but she's too tired to listen, so she just melts against him and sighs.
"Just stay with me, love. That's all I need."
He still wants to fight about this, she can feel it, but Cassian is a humble man and knows when he's beaten, so he pulls up the covers and tucks them in, and for the first time in days, Jyn sleeps peacefully.
