@dsrtrose : she’s just watching as jyn settles her belongings back onto her horse; the sun is still rising in the sky, the air is cool with morning fog & the space between them grows smaller as eliza wraps her arms around jyn’s waist from behind. her cheek rests along the other woman’s bicep & eliza hums to herself, “hey — let’s find a little lake. jus’ big enough for the two of us to take a swim.”
jyn is always hyper-aware of eliza's presence. ever since she originally made contact with dutch's boys, her eyes had first found eliza, then dutch. there's an electricity around the other woman that she finds hard to ignore, a warmth to her that jyn lacks yet can't help but gravitate toward. even now that they're more familiar with each other, with jyn's guard and walls slowly lowering with the more time they spend with each other, when they're together, she still can't help but focus most of her attention on eliza.
reaching up to her mare, jyn begins to pack up the her belongings and the small camp they'd set up the night before. out of the corner of her eye, she watches as eliza approaches and wraps her arms around her from behind. jyn hums in contentment at the other woman's touch, twisting slightly to brush her hand against eliza's cheek. " mhm, you'd like that, wouldn't you ? " she muses lightly in response, a wicked glint in her eyes. " –– a chance to get me out of my clothes. "
she turns in the other woman's arms, reaches up to cup her face properly ; with the overall lack of height difference between them, she only has to tilt her head down slightly to meet eliza's lips with her own. it's a sweet, chaste kiss –– barely there and over in only a few seconds. when they part, she smiles slightly, one corner of her mouth turning up. her chest feels tight, warm. on the topic of the lake, she says softly, indulgently, " we can make time for a swim. "
