Rey wanted to keep insisting that Luke was overreacting, that they were in no danger whatsoever, but then, she had been concerned that these visions might end up revealing her location to the First Order. If Kylo Ren really could see her, then there was no telling what other information he might have gleaned from their brief interactions.
"It's not a connection," she told him adamantly. "I just... I saw him, that's all. Once just after my fight with him, when he was getting patched up. It was like looking through a window. He seemed just as surprised as I'd been, and then I went for my blaster, but... he was gone in an instant. And another time... I was outside by the Falcon and he was standing inside a room, and he spoke to me. Asked if I could see him. Then said he couldn't see me; he could, but not my surroundings. I think he was telling the truth."
What she didn't tell Luke about was Kylo's conversational tone, the same one he'd kept around her from the moment he'd proclaimed that she was a "guest" on Starkiller right up through their most recent strange Force bond. It sounded almost as though he'd been trying to reach out, and Rey was loath to guess at why that monster would want to befriend her.
"I'm sorry," she told Luke weakly, hating the sting of tears she felt at her eyes. "Please don't be upset. I just... I didn't want you to look at me and see him."
