Rey opens her mouth to retort... and then closes it, glaring sullenly at Qui-Gon. What could she possibly say to that? She can't tell him he's wrong. He's not wrong. Even with Kylo, she doesn't really know specifically what he'll show her next time they meet. For all she knows it'll be these stupid "balancing exercises."

She can't ask for what she doesn't know. And that's the whole problem, isn't it? There's so, so much she doesn't know. Rey's jaw tightens, all the victory melting out of her posture as she withdraws into something more defensive.

"Yeah. Well—" she starts, struggling for a comeback before she spits out the first thing that comes to her head.

"Maybe I don't like to be reminded every day of how much I don't know. Did you ever think of that? Maybe some days I get tired of it!"
