[ true story: when jyn was three years old she accompanied her mother on a research trip to the planet alpinn, which was so covered in minerals and crystals that the surface was so bright white that the tiny, pigtailed girl had to wear goggles during the day because the planet itself was blinding.
jyn was born with a heart set on exploration, the galaxy had just stamped out any chance she had. now, she is exploring with the same almost childlike wonder, albeit tamped down hard and hidden under her normal veneer of disinterest.
she's going slower than jim, if only because she is still distracted by the carvings when she hears the slow creeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak of the stone door being pushed open and she turns just in time to watch vines whip out to twist around jim, winding around his throat before she can even begin to act. ]
Jim!
[ yooooooo.
jyn sprints over, hurdling one of the broken stone pillars and drawing one of her knives as she goes. her other hand snaps out to grab the vine like she can stop it's progress, but the end of it only seems to coil tighter around him. ] Kriff.
[ time to go weed whacking! she saws at the vine with her knife but it's a magical vine so... just try to hold your breath, kirk. ]
