The rain might be forcing the pair of them to tell truths better left unsaid, but Jyn was almost certain that if either of them want to make a quick exit, they could. It says something that despite the copious and somewhat embarrassing word vomit they're both suffering from that they haven't simply ... walked away.
After a somewhat pregnant pause during which Jyn silently begs herself not to speak, she quickly mumbles - "Good. Because I meant it as a compliment and I really wanted you to take it as a compliment, too", and then she heaves a frustrated sigh and slumps into her thin coat a little more, and doesn't dare speak again until they've reached their destination and he's pulling the door open, gesturing her to enter first.
"I can do it myself", she replies, although there's no particular heat in her tone, and a surprise lighting her eyes, as though the simple gesture has completely thrown her for a loop. "But thank you."
