[ She's relieved he hasn't begged her to slip into his mind and force him into a peaceful sleep. It had been a temporary balm, at best, the night previous; perhaps this serenity will be no different for him, but she has to have faith that it will wipe away some of his exhaustion, allow him to face the day renewed.
Dipping her chin, she watches him. A looming guardian, stroking absently through his hair. There are no threats to either of them here, but she feels better having him in her sights, and she has little doubt that Ben would feel the same. Even in his unconscious state, she won't leave him, lending him what comfort she can give if he should wake and reach for her.
Sliding downward somewhat, she moves to settle in next to him, and that's precisely when the air stirs around them. It isn't Ben. A curious glance at him confirms that for her. Her eyebrows knit, head turning, and then she sees the blue glow Luke Skywalker is casting against the side of the hut.

You've been watching over him.
[ It isn't a question. Given what Ben has said, the validation of what they had both felt, she's sure of that now. ]
