From nearly anyone else, such a gesture might unnerve her. Rey isn't the first person to be aware of the crystal's presence without having seen it. Chirrut did the same, what feels like so long ago now, calling out to her about her necklace from across a square on Jedha. At least in this instance, unlike much more recently, its origin hasn't been swiftly and impossibly identified. Sharing a space with Rey so often, it isn't as if Jyn really expects that she could have kept it hidden, anyway. Besides, though they were never very close then, she knew some things about Rey when she was here before — saw her use the Force a few times, was aware of the training she was doing, but never in any real detail. She certainly never called herself a Jedi then, at least not that Jyn was ever aware of.

Though she's seen a lightsaber before now, when she found Ben practicing with one, it's still hardly a common occurrence for her, and one exclusive to this place. Her expression thoughtful, though not unpleasant, she considers it for a moment, then looks back to Rey. "I thought the Jedi were gone," she says, curious but not challenging. Maybe she found one in hiding somewhere; maybe she just took it up for herself.

"I guess I was wrong."
