And then all at once Rey doesn't know what's happening anymore.
She can't tell what's pretending and what's not. What's the game and what isn't. Or if there even is a game?? All she can do is stare into Kylo's terribly, awfully sincere brown eyes and try to decide if she's allowed to reach out and accept what's been offered or if it's just an incredibly tempting bait.
Replying verbally feels like too much of a gamble, especially after the reaction her last impulsive action got, but responding negatively or not at all would be far, far worse. And anyway, Rey's mouth feels so dry right now she doesn't think anything she said would sound halfway intelligent. So in the end she just nods, forcing herself to make the movement slow and deliberate. If she's going to be taking the safe way (the coward's way, her mind supplies) she should at least do him the favor of making her wordless gesture as clear as she can.
