For a moment, Rey can't help but wonder what's gotten into Nick. First he's not saying anything, now he's...
Well, she can't blame him. She was out for a while, wasn't she? And she had done... something, with her head. That much she knows. What for, she can't imagine, and maybe that's for the best. This isn't like with Gregory when he manipulated and wrote her memories. If whatever she did was enough to worry Nick so deeply, then she would do best not to repeat it.
Managing a shaky, slight smile, Rey dips her head, burying her face against Nick's shoulder. She can at least bring her arms up around his; it's her legs that aren't working well at the moment. But this? She can do.
"Hey, it's okay. Didn't fall down that hard," Rey says, hoping that some levity might help.

Doubtful, but she tried.
