Luke's silence made her momentarily wonder if she'd been too harsh, if she was outright admonishing him for something utterly ridiculous. But it wasn't ridiculous, was it? She'd known if she was feeling something foreign and alien to her, and that dream last night - different though it might have been from any other dream she'd ever had - had definitely been hers. For him to take responsibility for it and act as though he'd defiled her brain with imagery like that was taking away from the fact that Rey was, indeed, a grown woman, with drives and desires and needs.

He could deny himself, if he wanted. He had no right to tell her she had to do the same.

"Should be able to control what? My dreams? I don't want you to, even if it would have spared us all... this." She didn't appreciate the fact that he seemed to think someone had to be at fault for any of this; it was nature, which meant that it was natural, and Rey didn't like the idea that Luke felt the need to blame himself for her sexual awakening.

"My reasons are my own, and no one is at 'fault' for that. I don't expect you to want to act on it, but at least I wouldn't tell you you'd be wrong for wanting to act on it, that there'd be no reason to want to act on it. I have enough respect for you to believe that you'd know what you want. I would have expected at least a little of that respect in return."
