[ just calls dibs on that and settles herself in to watch their surroundings so clarke and prompto can rest for a bit. jyn's always been better with first watch since she's something of a night owl by nature (or nurture? maybe it was simply habit at this point.)
it's relatively uneventful, aside from the creepy feeling of being watched; no matter where jyn swings her torch she can't seem to find what is watching them. she uses the nearby stream to refresh her power, drawing the water out of the surrounding air to throw up a shield of water when one of the massive mosquitoes comes too close to the tent where prompto and clarke are sleeping, dropping it only when she is ready to haul off and whack the thing away with one of her truncheons.
she's never going to call them ninja sticks despite what daisy has decided.
she stokes the fire, which seems to be enough to keep most of the critters at bay, though she does skewer a giant centipede with a stick and adds that to the fire as a warning to its centipede friends: keep all your many legs away or immolation is nigh.
when her watch is up, she gently wakes clarke up and swaps places, curling up in her warm spot and dropping off to sleep. she stirs again when clarke comes to wake prompto, but falls back to rest easily enough. it feels very familiar to jyn, memories of a time gone by when she used to conk out in the back of a ship next to maia and codo. ]
