[He feels her moving, knows that she is coming, but mentally refrains from acknowledging it it until her hands are upon him. His eyes snap to his right arm, where her hand has started to move down his own, and then back to her in a warning glance. Its a bold move -- he has the advantage where size is concerned, and just a moment prior, he'd been armed and ready to charge.
Kylo tries to unpack the gesture as it moves, leaving it to do its job until they reach his fists. When he feels her try to worm her hands inside, it is a reflex to clench them harder, until his nails begin to dig little half-moons into his own palms. That helps too -- the sharpness brings him back to focus.
And while he is distracted with keeping that strange distance he feels like he needs, like shadow shrinking from the light coming to intrude upon it, he digests her question. Could he even answer that? Did he have an answer? She'd broken his trust -- hadn't she? Or had he simply imagined that, when he realized he had made the subconscious choice to trust her at all?
Help me understand implies that she wants him to explain to her, why Finn claiming that Rey had hope that he could do good in the world had upset him so much. But he cannot even explain to himself -- doesn't have the words, the sensitivity, or the awareness. So he is stuck, staring like he is on the other side of a glass wall.]
