( The attention that she calls to the way he is making her feel draws him up short somewhat, though it's more about meeting a mental barrier than it is a physical one. He doesn't flinch away from the implication or come to a screeching halt in his ascension up the gangplank - if anything, his stop feels natural, back to the cockpit although he should keep his eyes on the corridor leading down, given a Wookie's predisposition toward aggression and Kylo Ren essentially being public enemy number one - and he doesn't apologize, but his eyes do skip over her face for a beat.
It isn't his intention to make her uneasy, but Kylo supposes that it's something that can't be helped just because they've been wandering in and out of each other's heads for the better part of a day. He does see the difference between his restlessness now and its absence earlier, in the forest, and pins most of the blame on his session with Skywalker, although he's not about to tell her that or even readily address whether or not she feels ill at ease around him. It's probably for the best, in reality: he's a murderer and she could kill him. Kylo is used to people being afraid of him, besides; this just feels like being back on familiar ground. )
How should I know? ( He asks it with casual disinterest, not looking to rile her up to the point that she feels the need to have Chewbacca put him in a headlock or thrust her saber in his face but also not rising to the occasion of becoming overly defensive. ) It was with Skywalker when I went back for my lightsaber, and he followed me to the forest. Maybe I make your illustrious master nervous as well. I assumed it was coming to you, but as you've pointed out: not your droid.
( He gets the impression that the little rolling ball might have just been following him for the sake of curiosity, or perhaps it was operating under the assumption that Dameron was here helping adjust the specs of the ship. More likely is Skywalker's ability to keep a Force-bound eye on him as well as one capable of recording. Kylo tries - poorly - not to take it personally either way and brushes past Rey to work his way deeper into the ship, away from the cockpit, trying to shed layers of unease and the sensation of eyes on his back as he goes. )
I won't be going into the cockpit. ( He calls it loud enough for everyone on the ship to be clear, just so there is no miscommunication. ) What else needs done in order to get this floating dumpster off this rock?
