Jyn didn't think to move in any closer, didn't want to cross some unspoken boundary by doing so - with what Rilio had just been through, it made perfect sense to give him the agency to determine what was acceptable and what was not.
But -
If he initiated the act of getting even closer ... she wouldn't have denied the request, whether he voiced it out loud, or actively sought out more physical contact. If Jyn were more honest with herself, if she allowed herself to ask for the things she wanted, she might have initiated first.
But this was comfortable enough, sharing space, sharing the simple pleasure of holding hands, keeping them both anchored in the moment and the knowledge that whatever he had been dreaming about before was not real and this was.
Jyn was silent as she relaxed as much as her body would allow, breathing in and out, watching Rilio to make sure he did the same.
