Rey didn't say anything when Ben took her hand. He could squeeze it as much as he wanted. He could tighten his hold to the point of hurting her, and she wouldn't say anything. He was in more pain than her. At this point, she was close to succumbing to exhaustion, but she was too stubborn to give in.
Palaptine was too stubborn to die....a family trait.
No, she didn't want to think about it that way. She focused her efforts on Ben, holding his hand and attempting to sling his arm around her, to use her as a crutch. Granted, he was taller than her, but she was determined to help him in any way she could.
"This way," Rey murmured softly, careful to walk with him down the grassy path to one of the huts. The nuns parted for them, and followed behind with some darting off to gather more supplies. They could sense how tired both Force Users were.
In hindsight, Rey should have checked to see if anyone was using the hut they came upon, but Ben's injuries were at the forefront of her mind. Luckily, the hut seemed vacant. She tapped into the Force, just barely enough to open the door for them and lead Ben to a bed.
