It wasn't a wonder that the bird understood her. There were many intelligent species in the universe. She appreciated when Ari pulled herself aside giving her consent to come further into the space she shared with Ben. It was also just nice to hear the smile in his voice after the girl gave her permission. "Thank you."
It wasn't much long after that Rey shuffled into bed, letting her smaller body press against his. She pulled his arm over her head and curled up against his chest and let out the most content sigh. It was different here where it wasn't just him she could smell and hear. Ari was there and the room itself had a whole different feel than her own.
Her arm wrapped around him as best she could. Her leg soon followed around his as if to lock him into place. "You don't have to talk to me about it if you don't want to..." she said quietly. "We can just lay here like this." Sometimes it's all she wanted or needed. While Poe wasn't always there for her to curl up into, when he was it had been enough.
