Though she'd known she was making things uncomfortable, it had looked as though Luke had been willing to overlook it, given the way he'd been smiling at her. But now... was he just casting her aside all over again?
This? This is why she generally preferred machines to people. Even the most lifelike droids weren't privy to such a wide gamut of confusing emotions.
"Luke...."
Though she'd been calling him that for some time, it was the first time Rey had realized it consciously, and she stopped herself. When had that started? After the dream? During their discussion the night before? She couldn't remember, and she wondered why it suddenly seemed so important now.
"We caught it together," she settled on saying. "We should carry it back together, and clean it together, and cook it together. I-...." She closed her mouth, realizing that she was coming far too close to saying something she probably shouldn't, but then, she had no idea what she was and wasn't allowed to say anymore, aside from the obvious.
"I like doing things together. With you." That sounded even more awkward out loud than it had in her head, but she might as well keep going with it. "I'm sorry if I haven't made that clear. Or... if I've made it too clear."
That was about as straightforward as she was currently willing to get on the subject, and hopefully he'd understand the subtext well enough to help start clear the air.
