[As it turns out, her prayers are answered. He turns his horse just enough so that he can watch her run along after them, releasing the reins so that he step down in order to assist her off the horse. He's a little more hands on this time thanks to his urgency, wrapping one hand around her waist once she has exited the stirrups so that she has an easy landing.
And then once she sees her way back to his men, he is back atop the mare and riding back toward the castle.
The meeting with Lord Hux is tenuous. Hux doesn't care much for the Redcloaks, though he understands the need for them. To Ren's surprise, he does not ask much after their needs for a boat to Essos -- hoping he would drown in the sea, perhaps. He does, however, make a big affair of its expense it will cost him, requiring Ren to pay double what he should have been paying.
On the bright side, they had beaten the ravens for now. The downside was that he was being made to proselytize to a lesser man to make certain that he would not be troubled on his way out of port.
So, when he comes back from the castle to meet Rey and his men, it is with a rolled up piece of parchment and a foul mood.]
