[ He appreciates her holding his hand, knowing that Jyn isn't at all prone to physical displays of affection. She's let him indulge in quite a lot of physical contact today, something that he's very thankful for. He will remember that, and cherish it too.
He doesn't look nor sound too terribly upset over his own backstory. It's in the past, he's moved on from it for the most part. There's still a deep-seated fear of being abandoned and left behind, something that hasn't exactly been soothed by this place. Bones leaving might've been the harshest blow he's had to survive in recent years, and he didn't even leave willingly.

He presses his lips thinly, feeling the very pain she must have felt, going through all that. He's quiet well past the end of her story, and when he speaks his voice is tiny and heartfelt. ]
