"You have me now," Rey promises at once, with no hesitation, and she finds herself wishing that she'd been there with Annie for whatever it was that's making her wish this now. "I can- It's odd and it's invasive, but I can use the Force to keep track of you. If you ever need me, if you're ever in danger, I'll feel it and I'll come find you."
Weird or invasive doesn't frighten Annie at all, even if perhaps it should. It doesn't from Rey, is what matters, and she nods. It actually makes her feel significantly better to think that someone would know if something happened to her.
"It doesn't have to feel like anything," she says easily, and she's still holding Annie close, one hand still rubbing her back. "I really only ever did it with Tommy more than once, I could- talk to him, sort of. It was more just putting feelings and pictures in his head and letting him make sense of them."
It's not at all what Kylo Ren does, she's learned to do it gently, without causing pain, and most of the time it's something that people don't even feel.
"I could set the Enclosure to a beach and show you the ocean to get you to come swimming, for example."
Annie has always craved affection, has done anything she could to make sure she got it somewhere. Now that she's a wolf, there's a new aspect to it, a simple pleasure in knowing someone cares, in tying that in with the touch of a kind hand. It's easy to lull her (or Lark, or any other lycanthrope) into a state of relaxation so deep it's almost hypnosis.
But it isn't just the touch of Rey's hand that makes her nod. She trusts her, she has trusted her for longer than Rey probably knows. "That'd be so cool. Could I do the same thing back to you? Be like, here's a picture of brownies to say hey girl, they've got brownies come get one?"
