It's been a week or so since Rey decided to have her chip removed, and less since she stopped trying quite so hard to keep her mind quite so tightly shielded when she wasn't actively around another Force user. It got tiring fast, given the number of them here.

Still, she's not expecting the familiar rushing noise in her head followed by the sensation of parts of her present space falling away. She'd been relaxing, for once, sitting outdoors in a sunny patch of ground and reading a book. Her guard was as lowered as it ever was anywhere outside her own apartment. Perhaps moreso, since there weren't as many people right here.

She sighs, not turning to acknowledge the presence she can feel behind her, but addressing him all the same.

"We could try ignoring each other. Respecting each other's personal space. Just going away."
