Rey keeps her eyes averted... until his last sentence.
Being told she could be more sounds honestly like wishful thinking. On her part or Kylo's, she's not sure. She thinks maybe they have different ideas of that "more" he says she could be, anyway. But it's a very different thing, she decides, to be told she already is more than she thinks she is, and by someone so obviously special and important himself to boot. For a moment Rey looks back at him with an unguarded, surprised affection before she drags her eyes away, swallowing when she realizes her face must be turning red. The robe twinkling so brightly it looks almost like sparks doesn't help.
"I didn't tell you why I picked that day for my birthday," she says softly.
"It was because I thought if there was any day where I could just pretend I wasn't nothing, that I was somebody important, it would've been that day. I have two of those days now, I guess."
