[ There's a single moment of breath where Rey pauses, struck by what Jason says, but it's packed away for another time. She can't get wrapped up in that when she's caught up in the moment of trying not to wind up in medical today. She can feel the branch swinging for her, and she's ready to dodge it—
Before it even descends? It takes her a moment to figure out it's because Jason has slowed it down. She doesn't waste time marveling over it as she had during the ambush. She pivots and darts back towards the boundary. When she reaches him, she grabs him by the arm and pulls him out of the way of another branch that's descending towards them, and then she takes him with her as she dives into the grass that's safely beyond the tree's reach.
The handful of seeds she has collected spills out of her grip as she does, and she rolls over onto her back, puffing out labored breaths. ]
