[Rey has been around long enough to recognize that feeling. It's something she'd spent a good amount of her lives struggling against, given how easy it is for her emotions to reveal the truth that she's not at all human.
[Something that doesn't matter here, though. The faint ruby red glow in her chest spreads a familiar warmth she's come to know too well when Alex takes her by the hand, and all other concerns drift away like mist.
[Fuck. Of all times...
[With the threat of violence beyond these walls fading into an afterthought, they seem safe enough in here. Should they keep moving? Rey isn't sure she can go much further without Synchrony.
[Instinctively, she nudges Alex's back up against the stairwell wall. Her breath catches as her forest green gaze meets the other woman's blue. Alex... is really, really stunning. It's something Rey has noticed before, but it makes her skin prickle seeing it up close in front of her now.]
Are you okay...? [She tries not to cramp into Alex's space, but she can't help it now that they're so close and relatively alone.] We can... try to get someplace safer.
[If she can control herself for that long. Rey is no stranger when it comes to tempting risks.]
