[The fact he's actually asking her what she thinks makes her take pause, and smile a little. Her hand reaches out, much like it had that night back on Ahch-To, when he had come to her while she was alone in the hut. And just like that night, when their hands had first touched, she's cautious as she presses the side of her hand against his, just enough that her pinky can curl against his for a fleeting moment. It's enough of a touch for her to feel the intensity of their bond with full clarity.]
This way. Always this way.
[Her smile grows a little more warm as color rises to her cheeks, and she glances away in order to hurry on ahead. Admitting that she likes the sound of his voice is awkward, particularly since they still haven't fully dealt with the ramifications of what happened with Snoke.]
No one that matters will notice.
[Funny thing is, not many people here matter to Rey. Human life in general is important to her and she wants to protect the others, but on a personal level their opinions of her matter so little that it's laughable.]
