This was one of those times that Rey was beginning to wish that Kylo had just snatched the Cloak right out of her hands that night she had appeared at his room with it. Since then there had been persistent rumors, ones that were not at all to her liking and it seemed the more she made that clear, the more she was just 'covering up'. Wearing the Cloak on Visitation Day would probably only make things worse. Would very likely make things worse, but it was the best one she had to her name, and it would be an insult to not wear it.

At least, that's what she kept reminding herself of as she stood alone in the line. Nearly everyone else was joined by a family member, and she did her best to try not to draw any more attention to herself than the Cloak would already bring. She ran her hands along the material on the inside, trying to keep herself calm and keep in mind that this was her first Visitation, and even if no one came, it was still an experience she should be honoured to be able to go through at all.

The voice behind her did make her jump a little, but then again, considering the gossip that had been going round lately, she would have expected him not to talk to her at all. Something that did irritate her as he was the only person who understood how frustrating it all was.

"Kylo," she nodded in return, a tight lipped smile given in greeting. She was nervous. About the Visitations, about what would be expected. "It's my first," she nodded her head in the direction of the hall, before glancing around at all the people whispering. "...It always like this?"
