Oh. The tone of her voice is a surprise. He didn't think she was asking him to, but it's far softer than he expected.
He sighs heavily, but it's not at her. "The Alliance is... flawed." He knows it was, he saw it before and after Scarif, but it's a lot easier to admit out loud in the after. It wasn't necessarily the Alliance that held all of Cassian's hope, so much as the Rebellion itself. He just knows there is no wider Rebellion without a massive Alliance to keep it together. "I worked for years to help build it. But the bureaucracy -"
Small mercies about Draven and working in Intelligence, he supposes. Less red tape, more red hands.
"They came to Scarif in the end," he says quietly. "Maybe things will be different now."
Maybe Rogue One will galvanize them, the way news of the Death Star couldn't.
