It's hard for him to see her like this. When he thinks of Rey, he thinks of a strong woman. A resourceful survivor that can handle whatever is thrown at her. It's not that seeing her like this makes him think she's not strong, but seeing her like this does tell him that she's hurting. That something about what's been happening in the last day is so troubling it's affecting her sense of confidence.
He'd been planning to use that hand to draw her into him anyway, but now he doesn't waste time pulling her into a hug. She goes right his chest and holds her close. As if he could shut out the whole galaxy with them and give her at least a few moments of peace. He can't, of course, but it's the closest he's got.
"Everything is gonna be alright." He murmurs. "You can stay on the ship the whole time we're on planet and as soon as the job's all wrapped up, we'll get into hyperspace right away. We won't even stay in the Western Reaches."
