Rey doesn't get far before dizziness overtakes her and she has to lean against the side of the hut to try to regain her bearings.
You're fine. You're fine. It wasn't you.
She repeats it over and over again, no closer to believing it than she was when she'd fled, as she tries to rub some warmth back into the hand that's gone cold and numb in the wake of the healing. It's not usually this bad, and she's not sure if it's her own panic or something to do with how much of the Dark she felt in Vader or just the complexity of the task she'd just done. Maybe all three.
She's got her teeth clenched tightly together to keep them from chattering, which is the only thing that stops her from immediately responding once she realizes she's been followed. A protest of I'm fine dies before she can even fully form the thought; clearly she's not, and she doesn't have the energy to argue the point.
"I just. Need a minute."
She finally grits it out with minimal chattering, though her voice lacks its usual strength. Kylo's presence isn't unwelcome in itself; she just doesn't want anyone to see her like this.
