In the dimming light, Luke found the words on the pages harder and harder to follow. The wick in his lamp was burning low as well and he should think about retreating to his own bed. The girl was a problem that was clearly still going to be there in the morning whether he got enough rest or not.
Her groan caught his attention, and as he looked to Rey now Luke realised it wasn't just the fading light that had make reading difficult. There was unease in her, it radiated out and filled the room with conflicting elements of the Force.
Putting his book down, his attention was now focused on her. It wasn't the first time he'd watched someone with such a strong connection to the Force sleep. He wouldn't make the same mistake though. He needed to be more in tune, feel what she was feeling.
She moved and for a moment his focus slipped to her chest. It had been so long since he'd had any company, never mind the kind that was pleasing to the eye. No, he needed to concentrate, not on her shape but what she felt herself. Luke tried again to passively reach out to her dreams.
