[The look on Qui-Gon's face, tired and... well... just tired, says as much.]
[Rey's outburst does nothing to faze him, though. He's used to dealing with teenagers and twenty-somethings enough that outbursts simply don't throw him off kilter anymore. It doesn't help that he has a tendency of bringing said outbursts to the forefront. Not purposefully (at least, not usually), but because he simply doesn't sugarcoat things. It's not a lack of couth on his end, but a simple adherence to facts.]
My lack of personal experience does not mean that I am unable or unwilling to help you, Rey.
[He glances up at her, making sure to catch her eyes. For what it's worth, he's clearly full of compassion for her. He can't imagine that it's easy to carry the burden she is.]
It wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, but it is the truth. It is up to you to determine which is more valuable.
