[ The warning sinks in. This time, and not any of the others, because she has seen it firsthand. Even given the chance, she does not have it in her to do what is necessary to get herself away. She's seen her failure. It's threatening the fleeting hope that she had managed to cling to after all this time.

She stares at him, resolve and disappointment writ plainly across her face alongside the grudge she bears against him. He is in some ways a kinder captor than Unkar Plutt, but she will not forget what he represents. There is still Skywalker to consider.
]

I have a name. [ She snaps this because it's the only reply she has. Plutt called her 'girl.' Plutt treated her like property. ] And I don't think you're my best shot of anything. You're a traitor. [ This is a bold accusation in the dead of night, but there's no use holding back anymore. She'd tried to kill him. Calling him a traitor to his king is nothing next to that. ] If I get caught with you, I'll burn with you. And when the King learns of it, he'll give you nothing. I'll never see Dorne or my parents or anything you've offered me.

Rey. [ She churns it out before begrudgingly adding what will only confirm an assumption, in her experience — ] Sand.

[ With that out of the way, she digs her teeth back into the technicality he clings to. Why? She still can't puzzle it out, can't make sense of him. He had gone to a lot of effort to become the King's dog, as she understood it. Why risk throwing it away because he could not wait for further orders? ]

Getting out to sea to find Skywalker won't help me get back to Dorne to — [ She bites down on her tongue, caught in a paradox of her own frustration with the way her frustration at him has loosened her tongue. What she's really getting at, instead: ] You can't promise to deliver anything except a chance to watch you die on our return.

[ She could stay in Essos, but considering the allowances made for slavery there, she's sure she'd never buy out her contract and get to Dorne. At least in the Saltpans, she had the illusion of a chance promised by Plutt. ]

What are you getting out of this? Why not help me if you have such disdain for the King's orders? We could bring Skywalker back. [ It's a long shot. Rey feels stupid even putting it out there. But he isn't denying his intent to betray Snoke, and isn't that the same thing House Organa is doing? Rebellion is rebellion. ] House Organa would protect us.

[ It demonstrates shocking naiveté for a girl who had to grow up in the Saltpans, a slave in all but name. That things would be so simple. But there's conviction there — she believes this fairytale of the good rebels and the evil king. It comforts her. ]

[ That he calls them fantasies brings a stinging sensation to her eyes. Mostly because she knows it to be true. She means nothing to any of them. To anyone. She could get swallowed up in the Narrow Sea and no one would ever know her name. No one but Ren, and to him, she was no more than the map she'd seen. ]

What work? It's not your King's work.

[ Always his king, never 'the' king. Perhaps the result of a child whose early years were spent in Dorne. Perhaps just a good measure of how the lowborn feel about Snoke. ]

Why are you chasing Skywalker if not for him? If you want me to bring you to him, at least tell me that.

I'm going to be miserable tomorrow either way.

[ But despite grumbling this, she lies down on the bed, facing him. He's right, of course. It will be much worse if she hasn't slept. She doesn't have to have ridden on a ship before (sailed?) to know that. Were she with anyone else, she might have been up all night with excitement for the newness of it.

But she is with Kylo Ren. And she has failed to kill him. And so it is grief and regret and misery that keep her awake for another half hour starting at him across the narrow swatch of moonlight that comes through the window before sleep finally comes.

[ Though groggy — or perhaps because her mind is slow to rouse — Rey does not flinch away from the touch on her shoulder. Rather, it seems to bring her some comfort, despite touching her wounded shoulder. In sleep, her expression is softer, and it stays peaceful even as her light snoring cuts off and her eyes open to fix on his face.

He's close. Looming over her, but not as broad in figure as she has come to think of him. She pushes herself up slowly, the silence keeping her suspended as though still halfway in dream. She can't put her finger on why the bleak hours of morning in Storm's End, with the light barely visible through the dreary weather, persists in surreality for her. Only that it does.

Until her eyes land on his armor, still piled before the door.
]

What's wrong?

[ She can feel it. In the past, he had only approached her the moment of their departure, expecting immediate obedience. This demands preparation out of her. And the eerie tension lingers at the edges of her awareness. For that reason, her question comes out in a whisper. ]
forcevisions: (ready for a fist around it)

[personal profile] forcevisions 2018-06-09 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ She slips off the makeshift sling he has made for her, stuffing it into her pockets and extending her arm for the first time since it had been injured. Better to overextend it, injure it further, and live than the alternative if something really were waiting for them.

That's all she has to take care of, though, and his armor is bulky and unwieldy. He handles it without much issue, but it's a long process, plate armor. And she doesn't want to dawdle. So she approaches him, reaches up to take the leather strap of the plate as he hoists it around his chest so she can tighten it down for him. It strains her shoulder. She bites down on the inside of her cheek to try forcing it to relax, or stretch, or something.

She's never put plate on a man before, but she's taken plenty of it off in order to bring scrap metal back from battlefields. It's not hard to figure out. It'll help speed the process along, if he'll allow it.

[ When he looks up to thank her, Rey feels an uneasy prickling sensation wash over her. It's not for him, she reminds herself, looking away. If something has happened, he's between her and a painful death. Possibly a slow torture. It's hard to say, with men who have the sort of reputations Snoke and Hux do. She's not stupid. And she's not softening to him. She's just terrified of what he's dragged her into.

That's also, she thinks, why she regrets keeping awake to try and slit his throat in his sleep. Not because of the rage and betrayal, but because now she would be exhausted if they did have to fight for their lives.

She keeps behind him as he steps out into the inn. Even keeps quiet her questions about why he wouldn't rouse his men too, if something's really wrong. But there's just an old man there, doing his job. Rey scoffs at her own fear, and Ren's caution, and she steps around him to approach the man.
]

Is it always so quiet at this hour?

[ The old man looks up at her, and only when she's in front of him does she realize that she doesn't recognize him from the night before. The inn's staff had been kind to her. Had tried to help her, when they saw who she was with. But not him. ]
