As soon as Luke moved away, Rey immediately felt the loss of his body heat. It wasn't the same sort of cold she felt when the temperature dropped, though. This one was much more personal, and not the sort of cold that she'd ever learned how to withstand. At least, not since those first lonely nights on Jakku, most of which she'd blocked from her mind.
She helped him haul the fish up as best as she could, panting slightly at the exertion. It wasn't hard work so much as it simply forced her to exert her muscles in a different way from what she was used to. She could adapt to that easily enough.
Despite that, Rey hesitated at Luke's question, looking down at the fish so he wouldn't have to see the mild disappointment in her eyes. She didn't mind being given a task, and she was obviously used to being alone, but... she'd rather not be. Not now.
"I could manage," she reluctantly agreed. Looking up at him, she tried her best to sound casual as she asked, "I'd rather not, though. But I'd understand if you had other things to do."
