[Rey feels a spark of impatience when Qui-Gon starts to speak, and it becomes immediately apparent that he's not offering help. Her irritation only grows as he continues to ramble and ends with the least helpful advice he could have given, her expression turning hard and sullen.
Figures.
Why did she think she'd get a straight answer out of Qui-Gon, anyway? Not like the old man's done her that favor before. What does he know about her situation? He did say he has little personal experience. What makes him the expert?? How can he not understand that re-opening her bond with Ren would hurt her far worse than any "putting off the inevitable"? That even shut as it is the Dark Side is still bleeding through, no matter what she does? Even if he's used to the more muted version of Ren here, he should know that she can't just open herself to the Dark Side!
Rey stands abruptly, ready to walk away, and her voice is sharp when she speaks.]
If you don't know how to help me, just say so. It'll waste a lot less of both of our time.
